This photo reminds me of a friend of mine that answered “girls riding a bike” to the question: “which is your kind of girl”? Alexa Chung in fact looks absolutely lovely in a flowered chiffon playsuit by Anna Sui, riding her bike in the streets of New York and wearing the super cute Charlotte Olympia Kitty flats.

Questa foto mi ricorda un amico che alla domanda “che tipo di ragazza ti piace?” rispondeva sempre: “quelle in bici”. Alexa Chung infatti sta benissimo mentre pedala con la sua bici per le strade di New York indossando una playsuit di chiffon di Anna Sui e le ballerine Kitty di Charlotte Olympia.

Here they are! The rockstar and the lovechild some kind of together in a (un)happy wedding setting, photographed by Mathieu Cesar for the Fall Winter Collection 2012/13 of Eleven Paris. Her in a silver biker jacket and a “Lana” (yes daisy chains got this name since Del Rey started to wear oversized roses variations in many occasions) flower headband and him in a pretty classy tuxedo. Surely both of them have the right irriverent mood and sense of humour to embody the I just don’t mind spirit of the brand. Still, I must say, despite the fact that He can be a good model in a smart suit, as a true rock’n’roll fan I always hope to see again Iggy Pop barechest and live on stage when He’s singing Raw Power.

Eccoli: la rockstar e la lovechild assieme in un (in)felice quadro matrimoniale, fotografati da Mathieu Cesar per la collezione 2012/13 di Eleven Paris. Lei in chiodo argentato e una corona di fiori “Lana” (si’, ormai si chiamano cosi’ le coroncine di fiori dopo che miss Del Rey ha lanciato la versione oversize con rose) sulla testa e lui in un elegante tuxedo. Senza dubbio entrambi sono i personaggi giusti per incarnare il mood irriverente e col giusto sense of humour dello spirito I just don’t mind tipico del brand. Pero’, devo ancora aggiungere, da vera fan del rock’n’roll aspetto sempre di rivedere Iggy Pop a petto nudo sul palco mentre canta live Raw Power.

If you like this black and white photographs above you should also take a look to the site of Mathieu Cesar, this young and promising french photographer that portrayed the couple.

Se gli scatti in bianco e nero sopra vi sono piaciuti dovreste anche visitare il sito di Mathieu Cesar, il giovanissimo e promettente fotografo francese che ha ritratto la coppia.

..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.
