This Little-Known African Men’s Brand sure makes a Dandy Suit

I‘m not entirely sure of the path that led me here, all I know is that I was lurking in a pretty obscure part of the internet. What I do know is that these are some pretty dapper suits. At first, I thought I was looking at the impressive new collection of a well-known men’s…

Trending in Tehran: Notes from an Iranian Street Style Blog

I‘m not sure what I expected Iranian street style to look like. Western media is so busy talking about the country’s political state of affairs and showing us just how much their government hates diplomacy, that not much tends to come our way concerning what the cool kids of Tehran are sporting these days– or…

Taking a Bath in Hitler’s Tub for Vogue

Just hours after Adolf Hitler committed suicide on April 30th, 1945, former fashion model and Vogue correspondent, Elizabeth (Lee) Miller was photographed taking a bath in his tub.

An Underwater Fashion Show c.1947

So I went sniffing around the LIFE Archives again and this time found some rather unusual photographs from an underwater fashion show, taken by Sam Shere in 1947.

25 Swimsuits & Bikinis for Girls who aren’t into wearing Dental Floss

Pick a bathing suit this summer that allows you to go back to being a kid again when the only thing that mattered was building sand castles and crashing into the sea– not how far your bikini bottoms were riding up your ass. So I’ve done some digging for you and here are my picks…

The First Chanel Boutique: A Short Film by Karl Lagerfeld

Apparently Keira Knightley and her co-stars improvised their way through this thirteen minute short, making their lines up as they went along. The film celebrates 100 years for the French luxury brand, looking back at Coco’s first pret-a-porter shop in Deauville that was financed by her lover at the time, Arthur ‘Boy’ Capel. I’m not…

Salvatore Ferragamo and his Celebrity Feet

In 1914, sixteen year old Salvatore undertook the long journey to the United States to live with one of his brothers who worked at a cowboy boot factory in Boston (a cowboy boot factory in Boston?!). The eager young Ferragamo went to the factory to learn more about the art of making footwear. The modern…

Horse Meat, Sexual Favors & North Korean Style: Paris Fashion Week
