justin bobby/brescia

Why I've started watching The Hills I honestly don't know, I don't usually watch anything of the sort.

Which brings me onto my next point of how old news Justin Brescia must be but I couldn't help it. Although I think a lot of people would agree with me when I say the boy's a looker and has some good style...

updates on the catwalk coming up.

august playlist/miscellaneous

In work again, thought I'd do a blog on music and film which are the other loves of my life.

Lets start off with an early August playlist, I would wait till the middle of the month but I'm a little bored and have a few new songs and some old ones I'm listening to more at the moment;

I Need Air - Magnetic Man

Drop The Other - Emika

Pink - Aerosmith

Heartbeat (Chase & Status Remix) - Nneka

Double Egded Sword - Emika

La Femme D'argent - Air

I Smell Sex and Candy - Nirvana

Tomorrow Never Knows - Our Lady Peace

Love Is Hell - Ryan Adams

You'll Find A Way (Switch & Graeme Sinden Remix) - Santogold

Now I'm not saying I'm an expert at films but I will be sharing through time what films I like/find blah blah blah...

So I guess we start with a top 5 shall we?

1. Heathers

I first come across this film when I was about 8? The only reason I taped it (VHS was really cool to me back then) was because I thought it was about vampires? don't ask why, I just did. Glad I found it though, it's been a favourite till this day. Think of it as a black comedy version of Mean Girls but with talk of suicide/homicide and intentions of getting rid of a best friend taken too far. One of Winona Ryder's best, eye candy in the film? a young Christian Slater of course.

2. Beetlejuice

Since Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors I figured I'd have to put one of his films in, so I chose Beetlejuice, Michael Keaton is incredible in this film, I didn't even know it was him till I got older and looked it up. And Winona of course, I think she's one of my favourite actresses, I say think since I've only just noticed how many films I like that coincidentally have her in.

3. Batman Returns

As a big Batman fan, I have to say no person was better for directing the movies than Tim Burton. For me he just captured what I'd imagine Gotham to be like, forget that Batman Begins/Dark Knight crap, as much as I enjoyed the late Heath Ledger's performance, they're just not the same...to me anyway. But yeh, Batman Returns? best one of the batch in my opinion, Danny DeVito made an ace Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer, I just wanted to be her.

3. The Crow

One of the best films I've ever seen, and has a boss soundtrack along with it. Saw this for the first time when I was around 7/8, naturally didn't fully understand what was going on then but still found it so interesting to watch. Brandon obviously was gone too soon because he was awesome in this film. But on another note, the only sequels worth watching is The City Of Angels...the others? don't waste your time.

5. Party Monster

I discovered this film maybe 2/3 years ago, and still watch it often, it's pretty much a film documentary about the New York Club Kids and the underground club scene back in the late 1980's early 1990's. Based on the real lives of Michael Alig, James St James and the murder of their drug dealer Angel. Fun and interesting in good and bad ways being able to kind of watch and look back, a thing I like about some films. Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green are perfect together in this and the cameo appearance from Marilyn Manson is quite entertaining.

weeze the juice

"If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin' at my pad,

I'd go grind over there, so dont tax my gig so hard-core cruster."

One of the best quotes from a film. If it's considered a bad thing to enjoy the entertainment of Pauly Shore, then I guess I'm guilty because I think he is excellent, especially in Encino man which was one of my favourite childhood films among many.

I had not long ago found it showing on Sky and the love was quickly rekindled for the film as well as Brendan Fraser...such a babe back in the day.

emporio armani fall 2010

Think I'm guna make this short and sweet.

Thing is I was going to praise Armani's shoes alone until I was trying to find better images, I saw the full collection and was impressed, guilty to say I've not really looked much into Armani lately but the guy's stilll got it.

The jackets and dresses are awesome and I would like some of my own, and trust Armani to make the womans suit so sexy and feminine yet so effortless.

alice dellal

Just a post to pay a small homage to the gorgeous Alice Dellal...

I personally think she is amazing, not the typical mannequin model, advertising clothing for Alexander Wang's collection for Uniqlo, Mango and Burberry and the girl certainly shows that grunge is not over with yet. She has also formed an all girl band earlier this year called Thrush Metal, with a very punk rock, rebel girl sound.

The two images above are from the photoshoot for Dominic Jones Jewellery who is also Alice's business partner who's ring designs are awesome and I'm in love with. Put these with Wang's 2008 Fall Collection and right there is my idea of wardrobe heaven.

christian dior fall couture 2010

Now if there is any designer's couture collection I literally can't wait to see each season, it's guna be Dior...every time.

Christian Dior lines have always been a point of inspiration for me when coming up with ideas of my own, as a fashion student with more of a couture/avant garde approach to design, looking at all these amazing garments this label has to show can always bring some sort of starting point I can branch off from.

Of course Dior's collections wouldn't be anywhere as outrageous and outstanding if it wasn't for John Galliano himself, who has been another huge inspiration to me. The attention to detail and the thought into each outfit is fascinating to me, even the ideas for hair, make up and theme. I can only wish I could come up with such a perfect collection that he can.

Anyways onto this fall's couture eye candy...

This time, Galliano found his muse in nature, namely flowers which he would research in detail and focus on not only the beautiful colours but also the actual complexity of a flower. That explains the fine detail and attention on the ruffles and structure of his work. Stick all that with elaborate make up, head pieces made of plastic wrap and we have another show stopping display from Dior.

All in all I am in love (especially with the gowns seen below) and cannot wait for the Spring collection!

Go ahead and feast your eyes...

Been hit with insomnia, it is half 5 in the AM and I'm thinking of how non worthy I would be if this guy even looked at me...
