"A work of art. Very beautiful art. I don't know what his parents did during their artistic process but they produced a total babe."- Nedda Ebo on Douglas Booth.
Douglas Booth is an English bon bon model turn actor. The 17 year old was acknowledged as an actor when he portrayed Boy George in the drama 'Worried About the Boy' which aired on BBC. Not only does he have an extremely impressive modeling portfolio (with the help of that gorgeous jawline), but he's now going to be thrusted into the spotlight as Miley Cyrus' love interest in the movie LOL: Laughing Out Loud.
Him as Boy George. Lovechild of the real one...that's what I'm thinking.
The movie, LOL, focuses on a teenage girl named Lola (Miley Cyrus) who loses her virginity, smokes marijuana, talks about sex incessantly, stumbles upon bi-curiosity, gets wasted, and accidentally shows her mom (Demi Moore) her Brazilian wax. Ashley Greene also stars in the movie, and plays Lola's arch-nemesis. The film is in production now, and is expected to come out next year......I can't wait to see what the critics will say about THIS one.

(who we blogged about here)
Mr. Booth has modeled alongside Emma Watson and Lily Donaldson, and has quite a collection of smokin individual shots. And just because we like focusing on good lookin' blokes... I've decided to show you.

.. is a fabulous Muslim designer. She takes modern day fashion, and adds it into the Middle Eastern palette. Rabia is a United Arab Emirates born fashion designer, who studied Business and Fashion Design in the US. She attended Esmod(French Fashion Uni) and in October 2007, debuted her collection at the Dubai International Fashion Week. There, she stirred a lot of buzz being a new designer, and eventually won the "Emerging Talent Competition". In 2008, Rabia went on to win the British Council's regional "International Young Fashion Entrepreneur of the Year" award. She still maintains her fashion forward thoughts, all while holding firm to her faith, Islam. This woman is extraordinary in what she does, and has taken Hijab(head covering) style, to the essence of beauty. Oh, what I would give to have a piece of her collection!
Taking a little bit of the harem pants style.. and a little hijab to it! LOVE this piece, my favourite. Rabia's collection consists of the not-so-norm head coverings. The way the hijabs fit on each models head in a different and more versatile way can't be anything but brilliant.

Ello All! I know its been super slow again at Mustart, but we've been clouded with tons of Art course work. Nedda Ebo with the Drawing class projects and I with Media Arts(which is a fun course!). We'll try and get more done this week, I promise. If it's any consolation, school will be over in 2 months and we'll be blogging 24/7 during the summer (well maybe not exactly 24/7, but you get what I mean). Felt like blogging about BAGS today, because who doesn't love the styles, colours, and efficiency they bring to an outfit?
...and the City. Oh, you dirty dirty minded people...I'm talking about the MOVIE! The second installment of The Sex and City movie comes out May 27th. Everyone who's anyone knows the reason most people watch Sex and the City is because of the -fashion-. The obnoxious rose pins, long flowing tails, tightly tailored suits, peep toe Jimmy Choo's--basically every piece of clothing, from head to toe, is the reason.
TV shows, movies, photoshoots, runways... Fashion wise, all of those would be boring without the help of a Stylist. Of course, if it weren't for the designers, then the stylist wouldn't have anything to work with. Who is the glamorous and innovative stylist of the stars of Sex and the City you may ask? Well... its Patricia Field. This lucky @!:#) has got talent. Just check out the trailer below, and you'll see what I mean.
Spring has arrrrrrrrrived.. and so has the Fashion. Well, it's always been there but now its back to light cottons and cardigans (instead of ze fur and heavy wool). Yves Saint Laurent always manages to keep his spring line looking sleek and sophisticated--with barely any colour. His spring collection this year consists of organic and pastel colours, with a lot of black and white (more ivory I guess).
This first piece is something I can imagine being worn on a sunny day out in Parié (totally just felt like putting the ¨é" in). The overlapping down at the bottom gives it more of an edge than just a plain-straight-down-skirt. Yahknowwhattimean?
I absolutely LOVE the little petticoat at the top. The colour adds zest to the outfit, which consists of highrise shorts and a brown leather belt to accentuate the waist.
Hello hello! We're back with Fall 2010 Favourites Part 2. I should have posted this days ago, but I was busy. Sorry for being a little late! One thing I dislike about technology--you need to be up-to-date with everything, but I like to just sit back and digest things. Anyway, enough babbling.
To your right, that is Jasmine Di Milo. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy anything in her collection, but this dress is so cute! I love jigsaw puzzles, even though I don't do them anymore, but it was a childhood hobby. I always think it's nice when fashion--or any work of art--is reminiscent of the past.
Now, let's talk about Versace.
What's so great about these is the way they've mixed leather with fabric. It's being done quite a bit on the runways, actually. And I'm enjoying it! But what I loved most about the collection are these dresses:
Just saw these on Gary Card's Blog!
Please check his blog out and follow him as well. He's very talented. :)
Anyway, so yeah, these are LOUIS VUITTON FREAKIN MANNEQUINS for Love Magazine!
Having an obsession with mannequins, I would pay more than I probably should for these.
I especially love the first two!
Once again, please check out Gary Card's blog here.
But what is the point of having designers make olympic clothes that look like the sweaters in Walmart catalogues?
Left: Dsquared for Canada; Right: Ralph Lauren for USA
I do not understand.
I could have designed those sweaters, and no one would really care, because I'm not a famous designer. I mean, it doesn't take much innovation for THAT.
Not a summary of any certain show, 'cause let's face it, I'm too lazy for that, and fashion is not my forte, but that doesn't mean I can't pick out a few things I like and share my thoughts on them with you, right? ;D
So let's proceed. ;)
To the left (to the left, everything you own in the box to the left!) that is Matthew Williamson. Honestly, what can I say? I'm a sucker for neons. Albeit, it is the easiest way to make a statement, really...but nonetheless, neons never cease to make me drool. <3 Hearts for neons!
As we've heard, on February 11th, the great British fashion designer Alexander McQueen took his own life. He was notorious for his shocking runway collections and the world was recently gawking over his armadillo heels, worn by Lady Gaga in the Bad Romance video, along with many other McQueen fashions. According to Stylelist.com, he is believed to have hanged himself in his London flat, and it is presumed to be related to the loss of his mother on Feb. 2.
My personal favourite piece that McQueen has ever done are these crystal shoes from his 2009 Spring ShoeCollection:
And of course, the Westboro Baptist Church has to stick their noses where they don't belong, again. Click here to see what I'm talking about. Shame on them.
R.I.P Alexander McQueen, you will be missed. Long live your legacy.
Check out this bride and groom from the Chanel Spring 2010 Couture Collection. While the bride's hair (especially the bangs), thick lace material on the dress, and fabulous silver fingerless gloves look fantastic, all eyes are on the groom in this one. Karl Lagerfeld says about the collection: "an electronic flash in my head at five o'clock one morning."
It certainly does look electric! I would even say this looks a bit androgynous; typically all eyes are on the beauty of a bride on a wedding day, but as I stated before, how can you help but stare at the groom, shining in silver? (Source: Style.com)
