Carine Roitfeld Book ( stylelife )

"Carine, and her vision of French Vogue, embodies all that the world likes to think of as Parisian style: a sense of chic that's impeccable and sometimes idiosyncratic and which forever lives on a moonlit street as seen through the lens of Helmut Newton."--Anna Wintour Karl Lagerfeld once said that if you close your eyes and imagine the ideal French woman, it would be Carine Roitfeld. She is a fashion visionary and a muse. Since the start of her career in the early 1990s, through her collaborations with the legendary photographer Mario Testino, Roitfeld has been credited with launching Tom Ford's career at Gucci, as well as turning French Vogue into one of the industry's most worshipped magazines.
This elegant volume is a visual history of Roitfeld's fearless career. A daring instigator, she is known for pushing the limits with her subversive styling ideas. Featuring a selection of 250 magazine tear sheets and covers from pivotal editorial shoots and advertising campaigns, as well as intimate visual ephemera, this book gives an inside view into Roitfeld's creative thought process and sensibility. A must-have for those interested in cutting-edge fashion and femininity, this book will empower women to follow Roitfeld's lead and take risks with their personal style.

Lady Gaga For January Vanity Fair Magazine ( snapshot )

Whether you’re a die-hard Lady Gaga fan, completely blasé about her existence, or fearful for the future of pop stardom every time you see her latest crazed stunt, it’s yet difficult to deny her impact. The albums keep on coming and so do the promotional shoots – this time in the pages of Vanity Fair, Gaga is given the typical glaze of Annie Leibovitz drama in shots that range from the expected over-the-top couture to completely nude to surprisingly natural.

In one shot that could easily magnetise the words ‘soft’ and ‘pretty’, Lady Gaga is femininely styled with pastel makeup and pink fur. Gaga regular Nicola Formichetti styled the series.

The Contact Lens Art Installation ( art now )

Contact Lens is an unique art installation created by Japanese artist Haruka Kojin. ‘Kojin explores the distortion of reality through her newest piece, ‘contact lens’. Two types of lenses are used, one completely flat and clear and the other with a warped surface to create interconnected circles of varying sizes. As the light travels through the acrylic, the images on the other side are flipped and contorted, changing the experience of the space. Since the elements are clear with no frames or distinct features of its own, the physical material merges into the environment, only visible through the transformation it causes.’ Crazy stuff!
