Girl next door - Miss Unkon/Spring and Summer 2010 lookbook

 

Tropical punch/desert storm - Anja Rubik, Kim Noorda, Angela Lindvall, Tori Praver, Kate Moss

 

A steamy basement grumble/sweat and beer vapors imitate the moisture of the jungle/Rhythmic gamblers gyrate into the murkiness of early morning's corners/a serpentine lust fest set to skipping records - "Let's Get Lost"/Interview, May 2010/Daria Werbowy, shot by Mikael Jansson

The moments are passing. Say yes now. 
1. Confederate irony - play on the flag with layers of retro-revival; shirt knotted around the hips, chunky Docs, and the utilitarian backpack

2. Viva la femme - pink on nude brings out the bad in the good girl with knots and cut-outs; visibly brushed hair doubles the "tease" effect

 

3. I die for tie-dye - take bleached-out and surf's up nonchalance to the city streets; pretend the clash matches for smart disregard

4. Be a spicy wannabe - a dose of Ginger's sass works in form of the undersized, stretchy mini with the the oversized saucy symbol

5. Wrinkled and clean - freshly washed cotton and khaki in a pale palette feels rugged when cinched with awkwardly-knotted leather and unstyled locks

 

"...Or it was just a flagstone wall

with a flaw in the stone, an understandinG cavity

for burning young men with smooth dreams—

the true circumstance is gone, the true

circumstances about us all then

are gone. But when I kissed her, all water,

she would close her eyes, and they into somewhere

would disappear. Whether she was there

or not, I remember her, clearly, and she moves

around the room, sometimes, until I sleep..." 

-excerpt from "Seniors," by Albert Ríos

Go on and find what you deserve.

South-of-the-border tourist glamour calls for over-shadowed lids to protect eyes from high-noon sun, welcomed sand between the toes of fiercely stilettoed feet, glistening skin damp from blocks of buttery leather and eyelet suede, and bursts of untamed color to offset the prep to your khaki. - "Keep it Short"/British Vogue, June 2010/Constance Jablonski shot by Regan Cameron
