Agyness Deyn rocks out a retro Hollywood Glam look, thoughts?

Cutting edge model / muse goes bouffant a go-go… We ‘re usually not into model mania here at FOS but in homage to last night’s “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” gala at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art Costume Institute, we thought it was apropos to take note.

Glamour, mysticism, and the power of queens… Dagger, series of pictures whose inspiration is very diverse, from the comic book mysticism of Indiana Jones to the glamour of perfume advertising, to the powerful pictures of queens makes its way to Dubai. It started when I found a beautiful object in a souk in Taroudannt, Morocco.

The idea came to sublimate the object which had a potential for beauty and to empower the women who held it. By holding the dagger, the women

In Their Words: Fashion Designer Eyola Shares Personal Style Secrets

Simple 5-Step DIY Plan to Personal Style… The success of fashion lies in differentiation and paving a new way forward. Becoming fashion forward involves an individual vision, continuously transforming yourself and transforming people's stereotypical perceptions of fashion. This recipe has proven successful with the likes of early fashion protagonists Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and Paul Poiret.
