So Terryfic!

11/30/2011 by chicquero

He’s so up to his old tricks! Super cool photographer Terry Richardson is totally messing up around stunning naked models. This is an editorial shot for Purple Fashion Magazine and styled by Christopher Niquet and it’s not recent (Fall/Winter 2009), but it caught so much my attention for it’s fun, even with the nudity… and it reminds me of Tom Ford’s campaigns (which I’m a huge fan). Anyways, Terry definetely doesn’t shy away from gorgeous models Eniko Mihalik, Freja Beha, […]

Rain without pain!

11/26/2011 by chicquero

Photographer David Burton did a phenomenal job capturing Elyse Saunders in this wet and super fun shoot for Elle Magazine Italia April 2011. Love the fact that the styling went from boots to pumps, multiple jackets, various shapes of umbrellas without losing the wicked and colorful style! Considering that rain can be so painful most of the times (excluding when you’re cuddling super cozy at home holding a mug with a hot mocha), this shoot really shows you can […]

A slap in the face for Society

11/22/2011 by chicquero

I´m a huge fan of great drawings and illustrations, especially those expressing some great satire. The Polish artist Paul Kuczynski (he needs to improve his website), has a great hand, not to mention his great mind. Take a minute to analyse each of the following images, they all have a great cause and a truthful message behind. In my opinion, his work is very well done in terms of colours, form and production. There is a social political commentary communicated and […]

Mustache Freaks Mustache is that facial hair grown on the outer surface of the upper lip. It may or may not be accompanied by a type of beard, a facial hair style grown and cropped to cover most of the lower half of the face. The word “moustache” derives from 16th century French moustache, which in turn is derived from the Italian mostaccio. Dave Mead is an Austin, Texas-based (why I’m not surprised?) photographer who shoots advertising and editorial with a primary focus on the […]
