Acne Resort S/S 2012 Collection

Swedish brand Acne showed its Resort S/S 2012 collection first for the first time in NYC. For once more the concept was great: a huge stage studio transformed into a David lynch - inspired surreal room within a room. The place was crowded, 200 guests from the world of fashion, art and architecture, with Garance Dore, Taylor Tomasi Hill, Tom Guiness and Peter Marino among them.

As for the clothes? Amazing as always.. A joyful colour palette with bright blue and orange, neutrals and printed off-whites with some serious dose of dark blue. And of course, the styling combinations were brilliant, with smart layering of dresses and pants topped with sophisticated eyewear and teased hair.

Bahebbak Morocco by Ricardo Ramos de Leon

After the success of his Reconstructing Klederdacht collection, Berlin-based designer Ricardo Ramos de Leon is moving forward with his new couture line for S/S 2012 titled Bahebbak Morocco. Inspired by the exotic mystery of the Moroccan culture and its traditional costumes, the collection features versatile but ultra-luxurious and special pieces, really well-made with extravagant and rich detailing.

Below you can have a look of the promo video of the collection which will be showcased on the 6th of July during the Berlin Fashion Week.

Voguing

  

A rare documentary film with footage from 1989 about Voguing, world's most famous dance form. Born during the 60's,  influenced by the Black and Latino gay scene and evolving by the late 80's, this bizarre but magnificent dance involved a unique combination of music, fashion, extreme model-like poses and extravagant costumes.
