These extraordinary drawings are by Australian artist Laura Eddy, who renders celebrities and models like Dita Von Teese and Cara Delevingne in painstaking pencil work. Her imagery is full of skeletons, ice cream cones and confetti which adds a playful, feminine side to her art. One marvels at the time spent creating these wonders. via
Russian fashion photographer Masha Demianova works between New York and Moscow. Her camera is straight, faithful and seems has no control from commercial part of each project. Of course there is a tons of shooting material following by painstaking selection but at the end there are always a few strong shots representing the fashion photography as a state of art neither an editorial cut.

Menno Fokma and Floris Vos (FLORIS+MENNO) directed a dark short movie "The Rapid Eye"."The Rapid Eye is a short experimental art & fashion film which is born from the personal need to experiment with a fragmented way of storytelling, practical effects, aesthetics and evoking emotions on a subconscious level. We started the film by experimenting and recording a lot of different scenes we had in mind. Mostly by just the 2 of us. We paid attention to an intuitive way of working. During the process we connected the dots and developed our script into something bigger. With limited budget we managed to arrange locations and a great crew to shoot the spine of the film. We worked together with the amazing team from Box Of Toys Audio. They recorded vocals with a Scandinavian Yojk singer, Juhán Niila Stålka, and custom samples on the HMS Belfast warship in London."

When technology meet fashion the new elite product is born, so that what I think Google is trying to do with its overestimated cult gadget Google Glass. I think most of you remember the first appearance of "real" G-Glass on catwalk for Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2013 last September and then a First Google Glass Porn video. Okay you have seen a lot about Glass last year and they are not yet on sale. They are still a sort of futuristic way of thinking about the gadgets and Vogue just splash some fuel on its marketing fire with its latest photo-session. Shot by Steven Klein on location of architect Roberto Bruno's house the session is spiced by Vogue's short message "Beyond the blue horizon lies a futuristic vision of fashion—a beautiful minimalism tailored for the brave and the bold."

Maiko Takeda is a student of jewelry design and fashion, a fact that is apparent in these stunning photographs. Takeda’s portraits feature figures adorned or ornamented, creating interesting juxtapositions of light and shadow, geometry, space, and logic. Out of a simple and seemingly ordered concept emerges something intricate, chaotic, and mysterious. Takeda’s work is both elegant and bizarre, a world where beauty is revealed through obfuscation and composition. Takeda is currently pursuing a Masters in Millinery at the Royal College of Art. via
