” You have to put up with the risk of being misunderstood if you are going to try to communicate. You have to put up with people projecting their own ideas, attitudes, misunderstanding you. But it’s worth being a public fool if that’s all you can be in order to communicate yourself”

Edie Sedgwick

Inspiration: Let it Bloom

Kate Moss as David Bowie, Again! Let’s Dream On in Glitter

..She did it again!

I must tell that I love David Bowie, and Kate Moss too. Actually this cover of Vogue Paris is really breathtaking, and you know why? It’s not for the look itself, that by the way is perfect (Balmain suit), it’s mostly for the feel: looking at this photo you get just right into this glowy warm orange light, where someone is looking at you with that misterious and piercing stare, and I suddenly go back to my childhood when I was looking at the photos of David Bowie on the magazines and just wanted to be as sparkly and fascinating as him.

Kate was shot for British Vogue in May 2003 by Nick Knight, always as David Bowie, but as in the photo (aka the cover of Aladdin Sane) taken by Brian Duffy:

The two were also together in a photo shoot by Ellen Von Unwerth in a Blow Up mood.

Speaking of Bowie, I’d like to share with you some photos I took a few months ago at the opening of Brian Duffy’s exhibition at Idea Generation Gallery in Shoreditch, London. And yes, the Aladdin Sane photos were all there on sale, including a fantastic version in black and white. And I am broke. As always.

Today’s Inspiration: Star Spangled Banner

We need to customize symbols of our society and embody them starting from our personal points of views, depending on our epoque, needs and esthetic feelings.

It’s really interesting how many things through the years and different points of views this flag and its colours can still express.

America like a canvas to tear apart with studs and safety pins, like a soft sweater that reminds you of someone and a place, like a flag to play with your friends, like cool bold colors put together, like the stripes of the big white socks you were wearing for rollerskating in the 80s.
