Procured some incredible photos of Tomi Kono’s work. Welcome to his world…. Comme des Garcons Junya Watanabe’s 2014-15 collection shown in Paris was a study in black textures; oodles of patchworked pieces in movement, like the bits and pieces of a broken record slowly inching in different directions.

Fashion reveals the monsters within every one of us ◎ 今日の美学：モードは私達の心を明かせるの？
Two portraits capturing two eras in fashion, both by Irving Penn. We have the infamous VOGUE cover from 1950 on the right, and a portrait of an Undercover look from 2006 on the left.
