RUNAWAY.



























I am absolutely obsessed with this video.

Each frame is a portrait. The intricacy of that magnificent phoenix costume. The vivid lush colours of champagne, peach and tangerine. The white upon battered wood. The theme of his dinner party. The strict dress code and gold accessories. Surrealism of the garden, animals and servants. The strength and elegance of ballerinas. The explosions, sparks and fireworks.

Note his love for sunset colours; the transition from the initial set into an almost, vintage/whitewashed, formal set (of course he's going to show off some swag) and finally back to a stark detonation of African shades.

"Let's have a toast for the Douchebags"

Kanye does have a voice and an agenda. He not only proven to be a creative genius but his taste, the detail and attention he's put into every element (notice how the servants' nails are french manicured; the perfect compilation of a plethora of cream and gold during the inspection of the tea set; showing of a vanilla lemony lining against the navy of his suit as he wakes up)

True masterpiece. Truly inspiring.

Truly Kanye.

My Favourite Disco Doll

Abbey Lee Kershaw has been a stunner since her debut of being the first face about half a year ago. Her doll like face, framed by this structured haircut highlights her exquisite beauty. Her long slender body is almost fragile which allows the feminine mix of outfits here to drape and fall so lightly on her that you almost want to reach over and allow the lace dress to drape on your back, or personally experience how soft those ostrich feathers feel.

Nicole Bentley captures the relaxing days of the 70s through this fall’s collections of shimmery revealing dresses, autumnal colours, all complete with a final fur/feather-like flair.

Exudes the warmth of an Indian summer, yet undoubtedly oozes glamour that comes ever so naturally in

.. the last days of disco..
