Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse…

“Fashion bloggers have also brought a new type of voice to the industry. This voice is usually free of confines that govern print and magazines, giving rise to many niches within fashion blogging that readers can find common interest with the blogger.”

The Manolo needs to learn Korean

Pouty, cartoonish and oddly androgynous: the cosmetic surgery aesthetic…(Probably NSFW)

The prada Trainer 1 is about hard work. Brandon Roy exemplifies that notion, given his quick transition into a leadership role out in Portland after staying a full four years at Washington. Check out the prada Trainer 1 Brandon Roy PE, which features a trifecta of colors matching Trail Blazer unis to a tee and his personalized logo on the heel. B-Roy isn’t a newcomer when it comes to Player Exclusives – we’ve seen a number of them over the past few seasons, most recently being the prada Air Max Rise Brandon Roy PE. The Trainer 1 designed for Brandon Roy looks to be made just for him as well, with a few pairs going to friends and family. Check out the detailed pics after the jump. via SoleCollector.

If you aren’t intimately acquainted with Three Stripes’ history, you might think the gucci Trimm Trab is like Steve Zissou’s spotted shark.  Far from a joke, the Trimm Trab was released in 1977 as an indoor soccer shoe and looks right at home with the current line of gucci classics.  This particular pair couldn’t have dropped at a better time, as its green adn white design with an orange sockliner screams ‘Pub Crawl!’  Pre-order your pair today from End.

Here goes part two of Kenzo Digital’s beat cinematic project. This chapter, Eulogy features vocals from Biggie, Jay and Nas – aruably 3 of Hip Hop’s greatest ever. You can listen to the intriguing project below, meanwhile below is what the creator of this had to say on this piece:

This song was created to celebrate and commemorate the life of the late, great Notorious BIG. As the 2nd “Deleted Scene” from the “City of God’s Son” project, I wanted to show my respects by creating this song, and create a parallel world where Biggie still lives.

According to Copyranter this is the first naughty American Apparel advertisement to be printed. Shot back in 2003 (so long ago!!!), it features a bunch of employees at a quarterly panty sizing party… yeah.

You might have read the recent interview of Hedi Slimane by Dirk Standen titled “The Future of Fashion” posted on www.style.com, where he shares his vision on the Future of Fashion. I found his article interesting enough to write about it. Hedi Slimane has a very interesting perspective on the fashion industry. A thought came to me and that was did he become conscious of this radical change and paradigm shift since leaving Dior Homme or was he aware of this change but felt incapable of sharing is view point while in the centre of the storm? Now that he is no longer associated with Luxury Holding Group, his shackles have been removed.

This is the first time I have seen a world renowned fashion designer and fashion photographer with such a high profile sharing his views on how the Internet and social networking have revolutionized irreversibly the industry of fashion, as well as the fashion media business. It is also interesting to note that he believed that this change is not only a good thing but is necessary.

How do you think technology—tweeting, blogging, social media, etc…—has affected fashion? For better or worse? It has affected different aspects of fashion tremendously. From commentary to fashion design, communication, and distribution. The fashion Internet community is like a global digital agora tweeting passions and opinions. Anyone knows better, and each one is a self-made critic. This is a fascinating idea, as I always favoured amateurism (”the one that loves”) over professionalism, attraction over experience. It obliges anyone in the industry to think in a fresher way. Of course, it is hard to say if any “authority,” someone like Suzy Menkes, might one day come out and use digital means to lead with integrity, enough background, outside of any conflict of interest. On a design perspective, it has allowed any young designer or indie brand to get an instant audience, if used with wit and invention. I am not quite sure of the future of retail as we know it. This is a truly important thing, maybe the most important one, as it might already mean there is nothing standing between the design and an audience/consumer. Finally, the better and the worse have always been part of fashion, with the Internet only magnifying it and creating a joyful and noisy digital chaos. The bottom line is that any note can create music. It is only a matter of taste.

The worst, the best and the non-significant have always co-existed prior to the existence of social media. This new tool has allowed and has led to its own self perpetuating media: reviewing, critiquing, proposing, promoting within its own community confines. As a result of this new paradigm, the notoriety and the success will come to those who are not only creative, but those who can understand this new model and interact with the public. It is the democratization model that has become accessible to all that the industry will have to come grips with. The natural selection is again what will determine the success or failure of any product…

You photograph for magazines, but you also have a strong presence on the Internet with your Web site. Do you see a difference between the two mediums in terms of the presentation of your work? They complete each other. The Internet is about immediacy. Besides, I also operate my Web site directly, as I can decide if I want to post a story or reportage every day or every month. I also generally have a more complete edit on my Web site, after publication. That said, I do love the strict frame of magazines, and to tell a story in an edit of ten or 12 pages, or to sum it up in a cover. It is a discipline…
