Ray of Inspirology: Wonderland, The White Queen

I have always been Kirsty Mitchell fan as her Wonderland series is really inspiring and beautiful! Kirsty disappeared for quite some time on her site and just when I thought she was done with the Wonderland series, few days ago, I saw few new images popped up on the site.

This series is all about her version of White Queen and I am blown away by the images. From costume to location, everything works together flawlessly. The best part of this shoot is the steel ships! I still cannot get over how amazing they are!

Below is my favourite photo of this White Queen series and you can click here to see the rest of the images. Trust me, you will want to take a little time to read it because this diary entry tells you how this concept comes to life! Be sure to watch the behind the scene video as well!

Bravo!

March 2011 Memories

It has been an amazing month for à la mode this time around as we have quite a number of exclusive entries!

For our [Un]Discovers department, we are honored to be able to interview these 5 talents: fashion designer Dimitris Petrou from Greece, illustration duo IC4DESIGN from Japan, innovative jewelry brand Chao & Eero from Finland, bear skirt designer Erika Mizuno and shoe designer Kobi Levi from Israel . We are very happy to be able to find these talents from all over the world!

You may know we are currently collaborating with 12 individuals/groups for this year and this month, we are working with the powerhouse blog FASHIONIGHTS. We have created a special section called Fusi[on]ights where you can see some model profiles and editorials we have never covered before. We would love to collaborate with FASHIONIGHTS in the future! We are hoping you will make it to the I Scream Awards this year!

Last but not least, our collaboration with Swide continues this month with some amazing line up. We are honored to be able to interview Katie Rodgers AKA PAPERFASHION once again for the online magazine. Also, we are very lucky to be able to interview 3 of our favorite photographers: Kirsty Mitchell, Elena Kalis and Aneta Kowalczyk. Also, John Woo is one of the illustrators who has been on our radar for quite awhile now and you cannot miss that interview on Swide. Keep an eye on this blog as we will be doing a more in depth features with some of these artists!

March is a fantastic month but hold your breath, because April is going to be a busy month for us as we are gearing for FAT week! Stay tuned!

Art[s]ense: Kirsty Mitchell

I am sure you have seen Kirsty Mitchell's photos before if you are into surreal fashion photography and this week, I have the honor to ask her some questions for Swide. It is very interesting to know why she decided to pick up fashion photography and later in the future, I will have a more personal feature on her on this blog. Stay tuned!
