These will probably be showing up on all over "Fashion Don't" lists - but I love the dropped crotch trouser that we're seeing a lot of for Fall/Winter 2008.
Brooklyn based designer Samantha Pleet debuted her namesake collection in 2006. Since then she has become known for her signature rompers which perfectly mix influences of “centuries past and modern Brooklyn”.
Vancouver based photographer Jody Rogac’s shooting style is the antithesis of what is popular in urban fashion photography these days. Her work is clean, airy and soft. No harsh flash, obnoxious posing, gritty surroundings and clothes that are “so bad they’re good”. Shooting mostly with natural light and very often outdoors, her work has an air of serenity around it that is so refreshing.
What first attracted me to Christine Navin's photographs was the honesty and rawness of her subjects. I was left intrigued, wishing to have been a fly on the wall for just a few more moments after the photo was snapped. Beautiful and slightly imperfect – Navin's photos evoke a nostalgic longing for those moody days of fading youth.
Born in Russia in 1985 and currently residing in Amsterdam, Elena Kulikova works both in front and behind the camera, as model one day, photographer another. Elena’s photographic work is moody and sensual. Still experimenting, Elena remarks “some days I don’t know where my work takes me or how I really want to express myself in this world because I’m still changing and evolving, and so my work and tastes evolve with me. But I do want my work to be playful, because life is a game – a beautiful experience that we should take lightly and enjoy, because afterward there’ll be new experiences.”
