street style muse: Caroline Issa

Caroline Issa has a contagious smile & knows how to rock the colour red. Aside from making a chic statement in the front row at shows & being a sartorial magnet for street style blogs, she’s the publisher and fashion director at Tank, an independent art and fashion magazine based in London. Always a favourite of mine, this exotic beauty with brains is my Street Style Muse for today!

ampersand

my guest post last week for Freeworld Design Centre…

The scrolling symbol called ampersand is not only has visual appeal with its curvaceous loops but also equips us with added speed & efficiency while typing or writing... just think how much time you’ve saved by hitting just one key instead of 3!

According to Wikipedia, ampersand can be traced back to the 1st century A.D. and the Old Roman cursive, in which the letters E and T occasionally were written together to form a ligature, which is when 2 or more letters are joyfully united together as a single glyph.

So join me for a little blogging ligature of my own... a joyful sojourn where typography & street style live happily ever after.

night visions

this hyper-dramatic night time editorial captured by Thomas Whiteside for the August edition of Elle US exudes glamour & a sense of mystery. The elegant styling by Grace Cobb using pieces from Tommy Hilfiger, Oscar de la Renta & Carolina Herrera supports the surreal lighting & photographic techniques. Loved this!

ethereal

Natalia Grzybowski’s Hybrid collection of floral prints & origami-inspired silhouettes creates a tranquil tale of ethereal serenity in this exclusive editorial for Fashion Gone Rogue. The delicate balance of style & nature is beautifully captured by Sydney-based photographer Mikael Wardhana. Such a peaceful yet striking editorial.

still life

last week my guest post for Freeworld Design Centre showcased the still life photography of an extremely talented man…





Still life & advertising photographer Niklas Alm has a uniquely graphic quality to his work. This Swedish photographer began exploring the world of pictures while still a child in his parents' darkroom. His passion for creating compelling images with a personality of their own is evident in his editorial and advertising commissions. There’s a strong sense of the playful and the humorous in the work of this award winning photographer whose clients include international brands such as Adidas, Amnesty, Bosch, Lucky Strike, Toyota and Samsung.
