Kim Gordon's music has graced our ears for years. Her style has set major trends from the music industry to the runway. Constructing a band,Sonic Youthin 1981 associating with the "No Wave" movement in NYC, Gordon always expressed her taste in fabric with fitted shirt dresses, Disco sequin infused tops, and trashed denim. Even though Gordon refuses the title of "Fashion Icon" she is very much so involved in the fashion industry, so much as that she created her own line, Mirror/Dash .In an interview with the New York Times, Kim Gordon explains the intentions of her line:
“We’re actually trying to do something a little less trend oriented, a little more classic, that might appeal to someone say who used to shop at Urban Outfitters but wants something slightly less young looking.”
Hint magazine called the collection “edgy” and “feminine,” adding that Mirror/Dash includes “minimal, wearable and with organic materials, featuring slouchy T-shirt dresses and smart cropped blazers.” This line is what numerous Urbanheads, People who shop at Urban Outfitters 24/7, are strutting down the paved sidewalks in New York. With classic lines and shapes as well as rocking out to my favorite Sonic Youth jam, "Sugar Kane", Kim Gordon is a Stylecon.
We've patiently waited, I guess, and it's finally here! Cassie's music video for "Must Be Love" is not quite what I expected. Although I must admit, I do love the song but the video is mediocre. The lighting I'm loving! The concept is blah. What is wrong with these video directors?! Lack of creativity. I'm not just going to blame the directors, The artist as well should have an input! How the hell do you follow up a good song with this low quality video? GaGa where are you?
The "Love Game" Singer, Lady GaGa and the talented Kanye West are set to tour together this upcoming fall! This isn't going to be just your ordinary tour, GaGa and West are marked to both take the stage at the same time! How? I have no idea.
Staring at you straight in the eye on the July 2009 cover of Harper's Bazzar, Uma Thurman experesses her versatility when it comes to her look. I always admired Thurman's fashion file cabinet and the way she steps out on the magic carpet, ageless. No matter what she does through-out her career Thurman manages to stay poreclein-like, regal, and timeless. Pick up your copy of Harper's Bazzar right now!
Debuting from the new "IT" label, Isabel Marant, comes these lovely shoes. I know I'm late on posting the RTW collection but these I had to post! For the french designer's Fall 09 collection, Marant included super delicious wearable tunics, suit jackets with pagoda sleeves and rolled to a ¾ length and animal print skirts along with sophisticated and sexy mini dresses . Many fashion addicts may not get the idea for this shoe but let me tell you, I do!
Who said you can't be conmfortable and stylish? Right now I'm in a simple monochrome world and I'm truly appreciating the shades that compliment the foil texture and the amazing fur coats! I'm loving the over-sized coats with the leopard pieces, A chic mini dress topped off with a sharp black blazer is sure to turn heads!
The name is Olivia Broadfield, a British songstress whose voice and mellow flow will take your mind on a trip down memory lane in every shape and form! Broadfield shimmers with an electro-pop vibe while delivering a sweet and warm vanilla mood. "Don't cry" I believe is the best way to introduce her mesmerizing symphony.
Sounds like: A scoop of Frou Frou/ A tablespoon of Feist/ A pinch of Regina Spektor
"American Woman" singer Lenny Kravitz's offspring, Model, Actress, Singer, and Socialite, Zoe Kravitz, is making a stamp on the fashion world through her vibrantly funky yet elegantly cool look. Dealing with numerous fashion art magazines implementing your closet to regurgitate what you should wear for the season comes a fresh face with a F*ck you attitude. Undeniable style added with respectable trendsetting abilities. Its pleasingly fresh to see Zoe becoming a fashion icon through plenty of wardrobes with different personalities. Kravitz goes from one extreme to the next but always making it look effortless. Loving the art that is fashion and appreciating vintage, Zoe Kravitz is a Stylecon.
One might not know that Zoe is indeed in a band! Elevator Fight is the name and thrashing the mic is the game. I honestly haven't heard a group like this in a while and their music makes me wanna jump up and down with a 40 in my hand. A sound that has that rock & roll foundation and then built up with all the new sound that is out now makes the perfect jam session when you're ready to rock out! So far my favorite Elevator Fight jam is "Paloma" and "Broken Glass".Deep. Check out their introduction:
UNEARTHEN designer, Gia Bahm, takes her time creating these spectacular gleaming crystals infused with a potent empty bullet shell.The distinct powers and potential in each of her crystal creations allow a mezmerizing addition to any wardrobe. Each single crystal has it own character and is completely unique from the next. Take on Black Tourmaline, a stone known to repel and protect against negative energy. Kyanite, mentioned to stimulate/inhance communication and the continuation of goals. Even though these beautiful necklaces are on the high price end, their healing powers are incredible!
UNEARTHEN Introduction:
It is possible that most Unearthen pieces have already chosen their bearers. The uniting of the crystal and empty bullet creates a powerful opposition, causing old dreams and new beginnings to fall upon its bearer. For this reason, the stone with the right properties for your needs will inherently attract you. Each crystal carries distinct properties. Its aims may be to clear your mind, focus your heart on goals you struggle to achieve, provide comfort in difficult times, or simply remind you of the balance between destruction and creation. Please choose your Unearthen piece with care.
I see spaceships over the ocean at night It calms the waters Revives the temple where I lay my head The new morning beams awaken the spirits It is time for brighter beams to nourish my roots
The first time I heard of Wale was when my best friend was humming the melody to this track. All I needed to know was Lady GaGa was featured on it and I was on it! This is a good look for GaGa, expanding the wings. Wale is sure going to get airplay for this one!
"Look at that, look how they lookin' at me, Eyes all sticky like honey on bees."
Kanye West- "Paranoid" (Starring Rihanna)
I find it funny how Rihanna is starring in this video. Truth be told she was the one paranoid looking through Chris Brown's cellphone, hmmm. I like the concept of the video but it's just blah. A lot more couldve been included, more fashion perhaps? Any who cool concept, blah execution.
David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland- "When Love Takes Over"
Well, well, well, Miss Kelly. I'm actually diggin' the song and video, just not her last hair style. This is definitely a feel good track! This is exactly where I'm at in my life! You get this sensation crawling through your skin and then B A M! You embrace a feeling of freedom. A feeling as though you can accomplish anything in the world because you just don't have love, you indeed have the best love possible, self-love. When love takes over.
MGMT- "Kids"
MGMT has kept us waiting entirely too long for this! It's actually worth the wait! MGMT has always delivered for me. They completely rock my dress socks! Next time you go out to a club, request MGMT and watch them GO!
