    LOVE: ODE A LA ROSE

    February 10, 2020 - By 

    Stolen hearts and stealing kisses, Cupid’s long time partner in crime has always been a red rose or maybe even a hundred. There is just something completely and decadently enchanting about someone taking the time to choose a perfect blossom, thick, red plush petals spiraling out in beauty, and giving it to you. Pure romance. It is estimated that more than 250 million roses are given on Valentine’s Day. That’s a lot of love. But, some would say that not every rose is created equal. Particularly so of Louis and Olivier, founders of Ode A La Rose. These two French…

    MISSONI’S FALL/WINTER 2019

    August 14, 2019 - By 

    Missoni, the Italian brand, are not just fashion designers. No, they are really more like dream weavers. As they spin, and dye and weave their own special patterns in their factory in Italy it is at once clear to see that each fiber is telling a story in their very unique kaleidoscope of color way. It’s bold and unconventional, with more than a nod to the 70’s hippie ethos. This season they have once again paired up with Mert & Marcus under the creative direction of Angela Missoni, to shoot the Winter 2019 campaign in Cappadocia, against the surreal volcanic…

    EXCLUSIVE: DAMIEN ZANNETOU & AENEA SKIN

    June 11, 2019 - By 

    Much like a majestic mountain becomes a humble hillside by the insistent pervasive deterioration of erosion, imperceptible in the moment – bluntly obvious over time, so similar are the effects of aging on our skin. Time and the elements are written in our wrinkles, fine lines mapping out the truth that we have born witness to a multitude of stressors as we have boldly lived in the moment and took life as it came to us, standing in the storm of heartbreaks and acid rain, over exposure to the sun and the blue light of electronic devises, hormone swings and…
