Showcasing fashion’s most spectacular physiques in digital and physical book form, comes a personal project by leading industry photographer and KARLISMYUNKLE favourite Mariano Vivanco. Best known for his work with Dolce & Gabbana – and particularly his last book Uomini, Mariano has captured Anne Vyalitsyna, Melodie Monrose, Chiharu Okunugi, Sara Sampaio, Andrej Pejic, Caio Cesar and Garrett Neff in various modern takes on the classical nude.
Preview video and stills below.
The SS13 campaign film and images from Raf Simons have landed. Featuring Andrew Westermann and Matthieu Gregoire with photography and art direction by Pierre Debusschere.
The short film features some great Nirvana audio interview excerpts, the band that formed part of the inspiration behind the collection. Raf looked at Nirvana and the grunge scene (flower dresses, oversized style) as a source of inspiration but didn’t want to create a grunge collection or claim grunge for SS13, but simply nod to it. The video was produced by 245 FOREST.
Every outlet that posts the Jean Paul Gaultier SS13 campaign images is going to “live and breath for” Ginta Lapina as Madonna, Hannelore Knuts as Bowie, Jeneil Williams as Grace Jones & Maria Kashleva as Boy George – and they have EVERY right to. The perfect cast was shot by Sebastian Kim and is completely in line with the SS13 show in Paris last season where Gaultier not only stole the show, delivered on publicity but beneath the theatrics was one of the icon’s finest ready-to-wear collections to date. Watch the show under the cut.
KARLISMYUNKLE’s favourite stripper/rapper Brooke Candy
has delivered her latest offering in the form of the track titled Everybody Does, and it’s accompanying video directed by Renata Raksha.
Dazed & Confused has officially bought into the hype, dubbing stripper/rapper Brooke Candy “the gold armour-plated, trans-human fantasy girl of choice” – in part due to the fact that the magazine and media platform’s editor-in-chief Tim Noakes is executively producing some of Brooke’s content, including this.
The video was styled by Brett Bailey. Check out an incredible illustration by KARLISMYUNKLE’s very own logo designer Achraf Amiri under the cut.
Here’s an incredible preview of the new Givenchy Spring Summer 2013 ad campaign featuring torero Jose Maria Manzanares and artist Jared Buckhiester. The campaign shot by Mert & Marcus and directed by Riccardo Tisci also includes Kate Moss, Marciacarla Boscono (of course) and the incredible Marina Abramovic. Check out the behind the scenes video under the cut.
Indie pop princess Sky Ferreira has teamed up with Grant Singer once again for the fourth video from GHOST EP – Lost In My Bedroom. With Everything Is Embarrassing nailing every “Best Song of 2012” list that actually matters – 2013 had better be the year of the Ferreira (and Britney, Gaga, Beyonce, Azealia and the rest of pop). In all seriousness, if anyone deserves it, it is Sky. Her debut studio album, I’m Not Alright is set to drop in Q3 of next year and is produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, Jon Brion and Blake Mills.
2013 is off to an impressive musical start with Azealia Banks dropping the buzz single ‘BBD’ from her highly anticipated debut album ‘Broke with Expensive Taste’ – out on 12 February. BBD was produced by Apple Juicy Kid and Sup Doodle. The first official single from the album is titled “Miss Amor” with b-side “Miss Camaraderie”.
In addition to this, it is all but officially confirmed that Beyonce, Rihanna and Azealia will feature on Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP album track ‘Ratchet’. The artists have all dropped various hints on social media and Azealia confirmed it in a media interview last year. The track is produced by DJ White Shadow and the video is set to be the sequel to Paparazzi and Telephone but may be directed by Steven Klein as opposed to Jonas Akerlund (who directed the previous two clips).
Previews of the new issue of Man About Town magazine have been unveiled and one of the highlights is by far this image of a (once again) naked Marc Jacobs by Pierre et Gilles. Issue #11 is the “Not Thinking Straight — The Gay Issue” and features Mykki Blanco (under the cut), Richard Buckley, Inez & Vinoodh, LE1F, Matt Lucas, Ian McKellen, Alasdair McLellan, Pet Shop Boys and the boyfriends of five a-list designers who speak out for the first time.
Check out the image of Marc below along with the preview video for the issue. M/M #11 is available now.
In one of the most breathtaking editorials and cover shoots of 2012 comes the self-styled portrait of Daphne Guinness by David LaChapelle for Harper’s Bazaar China. The dramatic and semi anime piece titled ‘Slow Burn’ features in the December 2012 issue. Full spread under the cut.
The fourth part of what has fast become a club night visual content phenomenon has arrived. London’s exclusive nightlife scene has never been so on point and this time it hits NYC. Going back to its roots (the brand was originally inspired by the NYC club landscape) comes Room Service: The Sextape Part 4 – filmed and based in NY with some of the city’s hottest talent and starring none other than creative, pioneer and DJ/producer extraordinaire Jodie Harsh. The eponymous brand hosts pop-up nights on the other side of the Atlantic, so stay tuned for more in 2013.
The track features is If You Ain’t Got Soul by Kris Di Angelis with fashion by Jeremy Scott for adidas, Chockers shoes, Slick It Up, Patricia Field, Charlie by Matthew Zinc, STUDmuffin and Vita E Liberta.
