Vive La Decadance

 

The women in this shoot by Jeff Bark for Dazed and Confused are not so much decadent as satirically perverse. The shoot lacks the overflowing macaroons and ribbons of Marie Antoinette and replaces them with figures reminiscent of a syphilitic whorehouse. While their forms might be discomforting, the photographs are undoubtedly beautiful. They immediately reminded me of John Currin's paintings by their ability to make unapologetic fetishism beautiful.

How to Ride a Subway in Style

The New York City Subway is the most beloved and despised city institution. It is notorious for unforseen service changes and urinating homeless people adding excitment to every trip. Of course, there are some fun surprises too- the busker singing Radiohead covers or Raquel Zimmerman dressed like a disco queen on the A train.

Dynamism

These photos by Petrovsky & Ramone is among the most dynamic fashion photography I've seen. While their exact location is unclear, the cement, wire fence, and other urban geology gives their shoot a street edge. The colors are also in motion, only heightening the energy of the scene.

Fashion Week Street Styles

Fashion week street style keeps the eye educated. It is the time when women with taste and the money to buy taste, strike poses whenever physically possible. Capturing street style takes energy, agression, and chutzpah, which creates an increasingly blurry line between photographers and paparozzo. Needless to say, however, their efforts are changing the way that we think about fashion. Although their subjects hardly represent "street" style, they are making waves by pushing the creative envelope and creating a new level of fashion consciousness.

Party at the Palace

Was there a party at the palace last night? There seems to be quite a few girls strewn about on the lawn. Take out the trash and don't forget to water the plants.
