Lara Stone, Daphne Groeneveld, Kristen McMenamy and more for LOVE #6

After a full day of traveling, one lost suitcase and spending two hours trying to track it down, I finally arrived in Seattle exhausted.  To my surprise this morning though, I woke up to a treat from the magazine world, this spread for the already extremely anticipated LOVE Magazine is gorgeous and features Lara Stone, Daphne Groeneveld, Kristen McMenamy, Mariacarla Boscono, Katie Grand and Panos Yiapanis.  The beauty story was shot by Mert & Marcus and features all the models crying, which I am hoping they don't make every single picture like in the issue. Regardless, this is awesome, check it out!

LOVE Magazine Fall Covers

I am OBSESSED with these fall covers for LOVE Magazine shot by Mert and Marcus.  These are seriously gorgeous and have two of my (and apparently all of the fashion world's) favorite it girls Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign star Elle Fanning and Miu Miu's Hailee Steinfeld.  Not to mention Kick Ass star Chloe Moretz look amazing on her cover.  These are just the first three and five more covers will be released in September.  These are going to be hard September covers to beat, so which one is your favorite?

The Original Party

Antes de mais, desculpem a ausência, tem sido complicado vir aqui actualizar nesta fase final de mestrado mas hoje já chega ao fim, tenho a defesa oral do trabalho final de mestrado esta tarde e férias.

Apesar da minha vontade de terminar o mestrado, a verdade é que passei muitos bons momentos e aprendi imenso. Conheci muitas pessoas diferentes de mim, com outras culturas e personalidades muito distintas, aprendi e cresci com elas. Entre vários projectos individuais e em conjunto, este ano passou a voar.

Um desses trabalhos foi uma publicidade em vídeo para uma marca à nossa escolha, a escolhida foi Adidas.
O conceito foi simples, Adidas é para todos, e a ideia era juntar todos os estilos e tipos de pessoas numa festa Adidas, num ambiente de felicidade e diversão onde não há espaço para a preocupação.

E o resultado foi este...



Before anything else, sorry for my absence, it has been complicated coming here in this last phase of my master, but today it comes to an end, I have my final presentation this afternoon and then vacations at last.

Although I'm really eager to finish, the truth is I've spent really great moments and learned a lot. I met really different people from me, with other cultures and distinct personalities, I've learned and grew with them. Between many individual and group projects the year passed by so quickly, and I'm going to miss it.

One of those projects was a video campaign for a band of our selection, the chosen one was Adidas. The concept was simple, Adidas is for everyone, and the idea was to put together all styles and different people together in an Adidas Original party, in a fun, happy and free care set.

And this was the result...

Remembering Amy Winehouse through editorials

So as most of you probably know, Amy Winehouse passed away this weekend, and I think it's incredibly sad that such a young and talented person lost her life probably as a result of addiction.  Over the years, Winehouse has inspired a lot of editorials and her wing-tipped eye liner, bee hive hair do and rock 'n' roll style has greatly influenced fashion.  Here's a look at some healthy and happy pictures of Winehouse and the editorials she inspired.

Adriana Lima, Daul Kim, Ash Stymest and Isabeli Fontana as Amy Winehouse.
