They don’t teach you this in Art class. Paper+ Couture seem like an unlikely duo but artists Alexandra Zaharova and Ilya Plotnikov work their magic to produce an unconventional spread.

Lately I’ve been drawn to geometric art and have been inspired by the relationship of corresponding shapes and colours. Although I wasn’t exactly a top student when it came to geometry in school, I find it fascinating and soothing. Being one of the oldest sciences, geometry is considred the DNA of Design.
Here’s a look at the work of designer Andy Gilmore, a New York based designer and musician whose colourful pieces take on a kaleidoscopic and geometric style. His love and practice of music can be seen in his work as he represents the physics of sound acoustics.

Meet Petra Hogstrom. A graduate of Swedish School of Textiles, and a previous contender in the Mercedes Benz Young Fashion Industry Award , this woman knows a thing or two about evoking the imagination when it comes to how we dress. Her pieces are fiercely independent and rooted in unconventional sophistication and charm. Using contrasting materials such as glass and silk, Petra represents the dichotomy that presents itself in every day life through her collection.
Without further adieu…

London based Fashion Photographer Joaquim Barreto discusses the process of how to do a fashion photography editorial spread and breaks it down into digestible pieces.
It’s a great resource for anyone who would like to get a better grasp on the necessary steps. You can read the article here.
Charlie Le Mindu, the 23 year old designer known most recently for adding to Lady Gaga’s costume extremity, creates towering wigs as well as clothes and accessories out of human hair. A native of Bordeaux France, Le Mindu’s background is as surreal as his avant-garde pieces. He started cutting hair at the age of 13 in his grandmother’s hair salon and later moved to Berlin at the age of 17 where he worked in punk hair salon called Le Petit Salon. He later set up shop at club Rio unconventionally cutting hair of local club goers from 11 pm to 6 am.
Le Mindu is known for being the only designer at a major Fashion Week event with a show focused entirely on wigs. What happens to the wigs after the show? They are kept in a showroom so that stylists can borrow them. You can see 3 of Le Mindu’s wigs in Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance Video”.

London based Fashion and Beauty Photographer Ian Crawford makes a splash (sorry guys, I had to!) in his brazenly beautiful paint and powder Photoshoot which capsulates his subjects in a cocoon of colour and downright fierceness.
Ian’s client lists boasts beauty giants like Lancome, Max Factor, The Body Shop, and Givenchy among others. Paint has never looked so good on.

Mariya Sabotinova showcases a visual narrative of young woman’s “conversation with God” in this enchanting set that is thought provoking yet sober. The setting and styling are classically coordinated leaving room to digest the seemingly euphoric state the character is in. And it leaves me to wonder, is this a conversation with God or just a converstation with herself?
