For Houghton’s Fall 2014 collection, it’s easy to see how designer Katharine Polk cited Katharine Hepburn + Bianca Jagger as muses.  Both Katherine + Bianca mastered how to wear masculine silhouettes with style + sex appeal, which was present on the runway in oversize robe coats with boxy pants.  Sheer lace looks highlighted femininity while suspender style dresses over a striped long sleeved tee to an A-line mohair short dress displayed it’s playful side.  Above all else though, it was great to see a lot of white in the collection continuing to dispel the truth about not wearing ‘white after labor day’.

As demonstrated by her pictures, German photographer Corinna Sauer knows how to capture not only different realities but create them.  Mostly interested in different realities within society + in a personal photographic approach towards her subjects, Sauer manages to capture them with great dramatic effect by obscuring their perimeter in black negative space.

If you love graphic patterns + color, you’ll love the latest fashion film by Cav Empt (aka C.E) featuring their SS/14 collection.  The custom soundtrack created by acclaimed British techno artist Actress only accentuates the calm + cool swagger displayed by the model above.  Launched in 2012 by Sk8thing + Toby Feltwell, this Japanese based label always manages to crush it.

Enjoy!

Vans Helps Out Cupid With Valentine’s Day Pack

Today, just in time for Valentine’s Day, Vans drops their Valentine’s Day Pack.  The pack includes classics Sk8-Hi + checkered slip-on with distinct romantic touches.  Along the sole there’s the statement ‘He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not’, in cursive, similar to what you’d find in an old school love letter.  The print on both sneakers plays into that statement by featuring daisies + petals, as if plucked off to see if he does or does not love you.

They are available at vans.com + select retailers.
