Gaga's "Alejandro" Video is Typical Klein.

When I heard that Lady Gaga had collaborated with fashion photographer STEVEN KLEIN to create a music video for her newest song, Alejandro, I knew it would be something very uh... sexually charged.

Yesterday, when the video was finally released, I heard the shock in my friend's voices as they described to me what they had seen: "All I can say is there are men in fishnets" was the only comment I had to hear to know my prediction would be correct.

Before I show you the video, take a look at some of Klein's typical work......

Now, picture these images in real life and add some Gaga music to it.......you'll have this video.



So, what do you think? Personally, I love it because it just screams Klein. In fact, I see more of Klein's style than Gaga's in this video. Lately, the combination of fashion and film (also known as fashion cinema) has been immensely popular......I'm glad to see that Gaga has embraced this trend by using a fashion photographer to direct this video. In my opinion, Klein brings a high fashion perspective to this video which makes it that much better.

A Tribute to Alexander McQueen

Yesterday on February 11th 2010, the fashion industry was devastated to hear the terrible news that British fashion icon Alexander McQueen was found dead in him apartment in London earlier that morning. The industry could not possibly think of a more saddening way to start off fashion week. McQueen may be gone, but his innovations in design and style will live on forever.

It is safe to describe McQueen's style as being over the top, with a somewhat edgy/whimsical appeal. His designs carried the common threads of beauty, strong silhouettes, and dramatic features.

Here are some examples of Alexander McQueen's workMcQueen's designs were favorites among superstars such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Madonna. Lady Gaga even wore one of McQueen's designs in her "Bad Romance" music video.
Please note Gaga's 12 inch armadillo shoes. This style was one of McQueen's signature pieces which has taken the industry by a storm.

The following images are also from McQueen's collections.


McQueen will be missed by all. His influence over fashion was a great one. It is a sad day when the life of someone as talented as he is is cut short.

Wake up in the Morning Feelin' Like P.Diddy

Maybe it's the popularity of Kesha's hit song "Tik Tok" that made Anna Wintour choose to put P. Diddy in the February 2010 issue of US Vogue alongside supermodel Natalia Vondianova. This editorial, shot by Annie Leibovitz, highlights the exact reason why we love fashion photography...and that is because it tells a story through the images. Take a look!

Watch as Diddy and Natalia "Go all abroad a classic Hollywood love story"

Diddy takes a double take.

The quote by Diddy on the bottom left of the photosays "Natalia has these intense eyes; she plays this game...she can definitely make you blink first."


The relationship gets....err, closer.


Time for Natalia to say farewell...so sad.



Natalia and Diddy's brief encounter comes to an end as the train pulls away.
The End.

Now, on a side note, has anyone noticed US Vogue is featuring more celebs alongside models for the most recent editorials? We looooooove this one featuring P.Diddy, but the December 2009 editorial with Lady Gaga as the evil witch in Hansel and Gretal was not HALF as amazing...


In all honesty, Lady Gaga looks Ga-God AWFUL! But we still love her anyways!
