Watch and feel the mood and look of the Mads Nørgaard- Copenhagen collection. The Copenhagen Experience is his project that's going to run consectively through three of his collections- starting in SS08. His second short film came out in Feb and because Freja-Beha (as well as male model Eddie Klint and co.) is in it, there's no way I'm not blogging about this.
The SS08 video: which I didn't like nearly as much as "The Copenhagen Experience #2" for Nørgaard's AW08 collection, aka the "Paint it Black" collection. His current work is:
about simplicity and elegance - confronted by decadence, trying to give decadence an updated meaning. Paris in the early sixties has been important, so has London - Mary Quant, Courreges and Cardin - Bob Dylan playing electric at London Olympia in 1966 - the optimism - confronted by a touch of spleen, weltschmertz. The tone is slightly thoughtful, and at the same time sexy, shiny and elegantly optimistic.
Maybe because it's smoother (as opposed to the choppy cutting technique used in #1, but that's a matter of personal opinion I suppose) or that the pieces are more noir and black. Is it the fact that there is a stronger story behind #2 or simply because Freja gets more air time? Cred: The Copenhagen Experience, youtube
This set of Freja Beha photos, taken backstage at the SS08 Karl Lagerfeld show, were just too amusing (in a good way) that I just couldn't imagine not sharing! And then I thought "why just stop there!" I've decided to do a series on SS08 backstage pictures- from the insane and crazy to fabulous posing. Anything really... so long that they're different from what I usually see!
My caption? "Freja Beha! Irina's fashion model wonder-prop" It's just too funny! I mean... on one hand, we have Irina flirting with the camera. And on the other, there's Freja- concentrating on the documents at hand and trying to ignore her model best friend! Photo cred: firstview
Tattoos are endlessly fascinating and so intriguing, don't you think? The artfully done and meaningful ones especially! I don't know why but I confess that I hold a growing appeal toward tatts and am even considering getting one (But first, I've got to mull the idea over for at least a year or two...)!
And since I've brought up this subject, it's impossible for me not to mention Freja Beha, my newest model crush! A rocking dark haired long legged beauty with rocking tattoos who completely steamed up the SS08 catwalks in my books. Her list of markings are growing (she's actually just got some recent additions) and she's really looking magnificent with her new short hair!
From Left to Right: "this world tonight" on right wrist, "float" on neck, "this too shall pass" on inner right bicep, "M" on RHS of body, star on LHS of body, "redemption" on inner left elbow and three circles on inner left wrist. She also has an upside down triangle on the back of her neck. Photo cred: firstview, thecelebritycity
The CKIN2U commercial. Wow. Finally saw it when I walked through the city Myer store a few days ago. I absolutely had to dig it up online to rewatch, even though I hate the name of the perfume. First thought when I heard the name was not the best response- "This is Calvin Klein, not some IM conversation." But this is what I'd call amazing advertising- forced me to look again because it was that good!! And fyi, the scent is very light, very fresh. LOVE it!! Might buy it!! Once again, it proves my point that it's an excellent commercial, no? Freja looks breath-taking in it!! My favorite? The soundtrack and GOD! The beautiful elevator scene- Those cheekbones. That intense look in her eyes. The smile. She's so fine. As is the guy- actor Kevin Zegers. Cred: youtube
