Space Invader!

Lady Gaga took to Twitter last night to unveil the album cover for her latest release, Born This Way. And in keeping with the theme of being Born This Way, Gaga has gone all Sci-Fi for the cover, which to be perfectly honest I think is stunning.

Lady Gaga has become such a force in the music world, and in such a ridiculous short space of time, so naturally there will become a point to over exposure, the feeling of too too much, but I think she has kept the balance quite well. The cover was shot by the wonderful Nick Kinight.

The first single, Born This Way, will be released Friday.

Gareth Pugh. What can ya say? You either love it or hate it. Actually I like to think you either GET it or you don't.

Kristen McMenamy gets it.

Kimiko's Genius

In the words of Victor Mancici:

Brilliant isn't the right word...


But it's the first that comes to mind.

I am so blown away with the work of Kimiko Yoshida. Her self portraits are some of the most beautiful photography I've seen in a long time. What maximizes the beauty is the incorporation of cultures from all over the globe. Feather headdresses, beading, jewelery, all transcending gender, race and ethnic origins, she has transformed herself in each picture.

We have this upcoming brief in college, to design a poster for Templebar's Culture Week, and I am definitly gonna reference Kimiko's work, it really is beyond inspiring. My current thought palette is heading in the direction of Bjork/AlexanderMcQueen/NickKnight's Homogenic album artwork.



So much inspiration, hopefully it will lead to an great final piece.

Cole + Koma

Did everybody watch X-factor this weekend? Im sad Rachel got voted out, I liked her alot. Anyways the main thing everyone was talking about this morning in college was Cheryl's dress. I loved it. My housemate Diane hated it. So like everyone else were divided over it. The dress is by David Koma, who just graduated from Saint Martins and everyone has already labeled him the next big thing. Lady Gaga has worn his clothes recently so he's well on his way...

Oh did everybody else know that Cheryl's album cover was shot by the amazing Nick Knight? I only found out today. Cheryl is really stepping up her game.
