Bella at Isle of Weight Festival

Purple Diary friends at Isle of Weight Festival 2010, photo by Bella Howard. LOOOOVE the feeling of Festival, summer, le fete forever.

Anna Trevelyan

I first noticed her shocking pink hair somewhere on a random streetstyle pic on the internet (months before all the blogs around got flooded by those sweet pink, mint, blue-ish coloured hairs in fancy magazine editorials), to find out a little later that she was actually a fashion-stylist, assisting Nicola Formichetti among others, named Anna Trevelyan. Once I knew her name and occupation, more of her work got my attention. She teamed up with photographer Saga Sigurdardottir, blogs en styles for Dazed and Confused, did an installation with Charlie Le Mindu, likes to set up some shocking menswear show with Jaiden rva James and more and more. Recently the Untitled Magazine was launched in Tokyo, so from now on she's a fashion editor too. On her blog she updates daily with her latest work, inspiration and personal photographs. Keep an eye on this girl, cause she is growing faster than you can die (the tips of) your hair in whatever hippest shade you can think of.

So, this is the hair that got my attention:


And in those pics you can see her styling:

To Almost Die For Suits

Watch it from ca. 2:45, and feel the freedom of those suited skaters riding down Californian hills. Saw this video at the Ari Marcopoulos exhibition in Foam, about which I told you before. It was made by menswear designer Adam Kimmel for his SS09 NY Fashion Week presentation, with Marcopoulos' film making assistence. You might call it al little late to share it now, but such a spirit of freedom never gets out of date.

Sacred Geometry

Super sick shirts by Elena Gallen, an artist and designer based in Barcelona. Her designs appeared in Nylon, Glamcult, and even Marieclaire featured her in the shopping section. Some cool people, like Giles Deacon or Gala Gonzalez, have allready been spotted in those pieces, so time has come for us to join that club.

Dom Smith

Dom Smith is a photographer based in New York. Follow the link for more work. I love the calmness in his work, how his models show a certain imperturbability, without looking uninterested.

Marc Roy - Excerpts of psychedelic daytimes

Pretty spacey stuff by Marc Roy. Some of it is actually as he says "a visual narrative of some of my psychedelic experiences." He is a graduate from Brighton University, now working for Urban Inks at Post Expose Studio in New York, doing some freelance work besides. Without knowing, I was allready familiar with his work, because this sick cover for Crystal Castles' Crimewave was done by him. Judged by his writing on his site, he's pretty much into thinking about the logical, eternity, geometry, deity, intergalactic happenings, matter and time, the irrational. It sounds as if he sometimes wants to dissolve into pure natural cosmic particles. There is much more I'd like to show, but I'd suggest to just take a look for yourself here and here.

When two friends collide, it sometimes make for brilliant shots. here's douglas neitzke shot by Ilovefake favorite, viktor vauthier

Anders Lindén

Anders Lindén has a minimalist approach in his dark, moody pictures. He doesn't need much to create this atmoshpere. There's nothing really creepy around, but still his pics give an unheimisch feeling to me. I wouldn't feel very comfortable walking around in his scenery, getting the creeps from every crispy sound or sudden movement in the corner of my eye. Don't stare too long at this if you're planning to sleep, or it might hunt you in your dreams.

Dylan Forsberg

When dylan forsberg, (ex)model, photographer living in New York picks up a camera he's not afraid to experiment with light and analog cameras, what makes him interesting to me is that he's not afraid to take very personal, often dreamy photos of his friends without censorship.

For the lucky ones in Toronto..
