After Highsnobette’s tip, I researched model Amber Rose only to find out that I am pretty late on delivering this news. Kanye has got a new flavor up his sleeve and this one is definitely not staying under the radar. Amber Rose has been photographed soaking up the spotlight with Kanye several times in the last 2 months. Her style is not going unnoticed, but I think all the attention should be on the junk in the trunk. This ladies body is insane! You could associate the word voluptuous with her physic but once you get to her booty there is a serious system failure. Where did that ass come from? unfortunately the picture with her booty didn’t fit into my collage so you will have to Google it.

We write a lot about photographers, but we should not forget that the Stylist is also a really important role in a photoshoot ! When we speak about Stylists we HAVE to review Nicola Formichetti ! His style and work are just so unique ! Nicola was born in Japan in 1977 to an Italian father and a Japanese mother and grew up between these two countries; currently living between London, New York and Tokyo. His unique style is a result of a big mix of internationally eclectic/ modern and traditional / Eastern and European influences. Side by Side he has recently been appointed the position of Fashion Director of  new Condé Nast magazine: Vogue Hommes Japan, working as the main fashion consultant for Japanese high-street brand Uniqlo and as an editor on several of the biggest fashion magazines ( Dazed, Another Man, V, V Man, Arena Homme and Vogue Hommes Japan). Formichetti is also closely involved with the entire process as consultant for a number of leading fashion brands (McQueen, Prada, D&G, Gareth Pugh…), working on their image, business strategy, marketing processes or simply styling the campaigns.  Damn what a Resume !! Nicola is definitely THE Stylist to hire on the market. He shoots with the biggest photographers ( Terry Richardson, Mario Testino, Hedi Slimane…) and dresses the most desirable Models and Celebrities… Just have a look to his portfolio, you wont believe it ! Also check his Blog nicolaformichetti.blogspot.com for daily news, B-roll and insider stories…

Emmy the Great : We Almost Had a Baby

There’s an abundance of lovely lady pop singers, especially coming out of the UK, nowadays. Emmy the Great – hailing from Hong Kong, residing in London – is a welcome addition to the pack. She sings beautifully over jangly guitars and well-used “ooh”s and “aaah”s. But her debut album ‘First Love’ isn’t as peachy as it sounds – it takes its name from Samuel Beckett’s disturbing little novel about a violent and misogynistic lover. And if you listen closely to the first single, “We Almost Had a Baby,” you realize its the prettiest song you’ve ever heard about abortion and maybe-rape.
