Akasha Rabut was born in California and raised on Kauai where she started dabbling in photography at the age of 15. She received a merit scholarship to the San Francisco Art Institute and graduated with a B.F.A in photography in 2007. Askasha currently lives and works professionally as a photographer in Chicago. She loves ambiguity, teenagers, vivid color and negative space - all of which are common themes to her work.
I've been silently stalking these shoes since they were first released, checking the website more than necessary. I've walked past the Acne store in Berlin on numerous occasions, hoping to get a glimpse of these beauties in person. No luck - until this weekend when I stumbled across the Acne store in Amsterdam.
If only I had a life that allowed me to wear clothes like this on a daily basis! I can't stop browsing the Fall/Winter '09 lookbook from Thai label Sretsis. This has to be one of my favourites collections of the season. The strong construction mixed with bold colours and playful accessories gives the whole collection a very quirky fee.
The model's make-up really creeps me out, but I'm willing to look beyond it because the Fall/Winter '09 collection from Vienna-based label Awareness & Consciousness is stunning. Designer Christiane Gruber primarily works with high quality jersey and as a result is able to achieve absolutely beautiful draping.
