BOTTEGA VENETA: ENTERING THE (SHORT FILM) FRAY
With the last installment of Dior’s Lady Dior campaign (Lady Grey) premiering just a short time ago, one would think that designers might try alternative forms of communication to share their creative vision. However, Dior hasn’t been alone; even Karl Lagerfeld is directing short films left and right! The latest to join the phenomenon is...
SOUNDS OF THE RUNWAY: CHANEL
I’m just going to get straight to the point and say that Chanel has been killing it on the runway for almost a year now, especially when it comes to the mise en scène of their shows. At this point they should really be called “spectacles.” Every season Lagerfeld is able to re-imagine Chanel in...
ARIZONA, A TRUE MUSE
With a body of work that suggests an established face, it might be surprising to know that Arizona Muse didn’t make a splash in the fashion scene until the Spring/Summer 2011 season (Fall 2010). After the birth of her son Nikko in 2009, Arizona returned to the modeling industry after a false start in 2008....
SOUNDS OF THE RUNWAY: BURBERRY
This week, we’re taking a quick swim across the English Channel to London and the rest of the UK. Prepare your ears for another round of sonic pleasure! Burberry Prorsum Womenswear Autumn/Winter 2011 What I love about Burberry is that they are not afraid to put together a show backed up by powerful vocals. Music...
SOUNDS OF THE RUNWAY: DIOR
If you’re anything like me, those precious ten minutes between back-to-back classes are not for walking leisurely between buildings, but spent strutting confidently to the best walking song every created! As with most things, I’ve been truly inspired by these past two seasons of ready-to-wear and couture runways. I’m not sure what’s happened, but designers...
UNITY REVIEW
‘Twas a successful night of fashion last Sunday. Students filled the Louis Room in Norris University Center to capacity in anticipation of hot models, stellar performances and helping those in need. As the lights went down and the first collection hit the catwalk, the electricity was abound and continued until the last look turned the...
WAA-MU TURNS TO TYRA FAVE FOR FASHION SHOW
While Chet Haze might have been the major celebrity attraction for attendees at the Waa-Mu Fashion Show this evening, we were there to see another famous face. Northwestern’s own Zoe Damacela designed ten unique looks that were put on display to raise money for Waa-Mu, the University’s most famous musical revue that celebrates its 80th...
MY VALENTINE’S WEEKEND ROMANCE
This past weekend, my parents visited campus for my mother’s birthday! As we made our way down Michigan Avenue in the beautiful Saturday weather, we made a stop at Burberry. This fall I am headed to Paris for a year abroad and, to be honest, I always feel like I need more variety in my...
PUT A BELT ON IT
I am an avid believer that no pant should be worn without a belt (except tuxedo pants, of course.) In fact, I don’t remember the last time I didn’t wake up in the morning and put on a belt. Even if your pants fit the way they should, like mine, a belt is a classic...
IAN HENDRICKSON’S REGI-MAN: HAIR CARE
Two words (or perhaps just one…) Bumble and bumble. About a year ago, I began an adventure of discovery with my hair. For 17 years I had worn my hair so short that some might have thought I went to see Helen Keller for haircuts. Well done, but conservative, I was ready to make a...
THE MONOCHROMATIC MAN
As Northwestern students, I’m sure you don’t need help with a definition. However, to stay on the safe side, I’ll give you the photos in this post to help you out if you’re still having trouble understanding what I’m talking about! Even until recently, it was unlikely that one would encounter another guy on the...
IAN HENDRICKSON’S BEAUTY REGI-MAN: WINTER SKINCARE
Consider the phrase “attention to detail.” To me this is more than just the pair of earrings that perfectly compliment your ensemble, or an accessory that blends in so seamlessly that if it were gone it would be the only thing you’d notice about an otherwise great look. For me, “detail” extends well into the...
