In the spirit of collaboration with artists they admire, each monthly issue will feature a “light catalog” of images from a particular artist.

One thing about the Rodarte sisters’ maverick status in the fashion world is that it grants them total freedom, a sort of unfuckwithableness that allows them to go as high or low as they want. Their myriad collaborations with artists and art institutions put them just this side of the fashion/art divide, but then they [...]
via Nowness “At a time when hip-hop was relatively unknown to those residing below New York’s 125th street, French photographer Sophie Bramly was there to document the cult phenomenon on the brink of cultural ubiquity. Her insider images from decades past are now having their overdue exposure. An exhibition of Bramly’s photographs titled 1981 & [...]
Perhaps another blog of cool people hanging around in their cool neighborhoods wearing cool clothes is the last thing you think you need, but wait! Backyard Bill is a long-running and standout example of this emergent type of fashion blogging. There is a clear vision across the sundry characters featured, but each post is a [...]
I’m loving this ongoing series of portraits from the folks over at A Blog (purveyors of A Magazine). I’ve always thought Kiki Smith was beautiful, and a muse in her own right, but these photos of Lawrence Weiner decked out in Ann Demeulemeester are taking it to another level. -christina
Prolific photojournalist, documentarian of early street art, and all-around smart lady Martha Cooper talks about her section of the Art in the Streets exhibit at the MOCA in Los Angeles, in this great short video from the street art blog VNA.

I know there’s quite a few skateboarders-cum-photographers out there, but it’s a completely natural progression; like the model-cum-designer or actor-cum-jerkoff. So don’t hate on Alex Olson for being a burgeoning photographer on top of being a sometime model and all-the-time shredder with a sexy dad (sorry, had to say it). Dazed Digital has a nice [...]

I know what you’re thinking: what the hell is that? It’s what I thought, anyway. This, my friends, is the GL30, part of a new line of Polaroid products supposedly designed by creative director Lady Gaga (which is beside the point; I’ve resigned to the fact that society allows her to try anything and will [...]
Everybody’s favorite skeezy-punk fashion photographer has a really great tumblr diary. Personally, I am a fan of Terry Richardson’s work (he has questionable ethics, but guy’s pretty much pioneered the now-ubiquitous overexposed photo style) and if nothing else, the diary is a fascinating insight into the lifestyle at the top of the creative class. See [...]
Yay! Kaiser Karl strikes again! This year’s Pirelli calendar – that promotional thing put out every yer by a tire company that’s always shot by some ridiculously famous photographer – actually takes on a more sophisticated look with Lagerfeld’s black-and-white portraits inspired by Greek mythology.

“Richard Avedon was one of the greatest image-makers of the twentieth century.

My Mom, The Style Icon is a touching photo-blog where readers can send in old pictures of their moms looking stylish and grainy, at turns bad-ass and subtly sexy, and sometimes posing with strange men in far-flung locales. The latter of these gems go into a section called Not Your Father, and it’s my favorite [...]
