The youthful appeal of the new Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2010 campaign is exuberant, playful and quite sexy. Starring Lindsey Wixson, Siri Tollerod, Ginta Lapina and Daphne Groeneveld, the fantastic campaign is shot by the fantastic duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. The campaign video is prersumeably shot by Madonna herself, after interrupting the campaign shoot, under the guidance of Mert & Marcus, using the amazing remix of “Generations Of Love” by Phunk Investigation vs. Boy George as the soundtrack.
Supermodel royalty, Kate Moss marks her thirtieth Vogue UK cover with a simple and Rock & Roll glamorized editorial that is typical of Moss (even at her most elegant self), titled “The Moss Factor”.

Anyone who has been following the latest fashion shows, trends or events, knows that escapism is a much sought-after concept in 2010. This is only the beginning. I am guessing that since the world is becoming, at times for genuine refinement and at times for convenience, a more and more global world, brands will evolve into new shapes and forms. Their scope will encompass the diversity of our planet even further and that is the aspect we truly endorse at SQUA.RE. An example particularly on point here is Casha: the London based maker of luxury Cashmere ponchos imported from Nepal. An attractive concept and here is why.
She is definitely one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, a fashion icon and a great actress, Scarlett Johansson collaborates with Dolce&Gabbana again (and again and again and again) for the Spring/Summer 2010 cosmetics campaign, and looking beautiful as ever. Channeling Marylin Monroe, “the sensual images capture classic feminine rituals and expose one of the most intimate and personal of feminine moments: a woman applying make-up in the privacy of her bedroom or sanctuary” (from the press release).
The Prada men and women get together for a great night out in the 60s. The campaign, is sexy, moody and photographed by Steven Meisel. While supermodel Angela Lindvall stole the show, the campaign also stars Daria Strokous, Valerija Kelava, Miranda Kerr in fabulous beehive hairdos, and Clément Chabernaud, Kim Dall’Armi, Mark Cox and Mathias Bergh as the male leads. The campaign is accompanied by a short film with a fanatsic sultry rendition of “Fever”, performed by Katey Judd (and Angela Lindvall does a great job looking gorgeous and lip-synching).
Always pushing boundaries with fashion, whether it was the latest phenomenon in social media, war or the recession; Vogue Italia never shies away from pushing buttons, and always staying ahead of the crowd. Causing global news worthy controversy in their latest August 2010 issue, Vogue Italia depicts the atrocious oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, in a beautifully conveyed editorial that is both extreme and heartbreaking. Titled “Water & Oil” by celebrated photographer by Steven Meisel, and styled by Karl Templer. Starring supermodel Kristen McMenamy; covered in oil, waste and the best of Fall/Winter designs.
I had the pleasure to interview musician Sophie Delila. She is a multi-talented vocalist, producer, pianist, guitarist and writer who is exploding onto the scene in Europe. Her brilliant musical talent showcases an edgy pop sound with a jivey blues flavor.

In his latest exhibition at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York, legendary photographer and artist, David LaChapelle enthralls with great controversy, “American Jesus”. The photographs depict the great Michael Jackson as a modern day martyr, in a tribute for the late legend’s epic life. The result of the notorious exhibition exams the state of the Catholic Church in today’s pop culture.
Titled “Spanish Revival”, the always elegant and classically beautiful, supermodel Jessica Stam stars in Harper’s Bazaar August 2010 issue, in an editorial that is all about the love for Spain (where all my friends are at right now for summer!). It reminds of me Madonna’s “Take A Bow”. Photographed by the half Peruvian, half Polish, English born, and extremely fantastic photographer, Alexi Lubomirski, who always seems to find an extra layer of something interesting in all her photographs.

Jessika Zen is an up and coming artist exploding onto the music scene with electrifying hypnotic techno vibes. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessika about her music and her life as an artist.
James Johanson: Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you began as a musician.
Jessika Zen: I was born in Bandung, Indonesia and moved to Sydney, Australia at the age of 5. I learnt classical piano at the age of five and attended Berklee College of Music on a performance scholarship. Growing up, I was rather an inspired & curious contrarian who was always interested in obscure art and was sort of an odd child. There really wasn’t anything like the indie-pop movement and less individualism. Growing up in Australia we would just get fed American and UK pop. So, my influences basically come from burying myself in my dad’s record collection since he listened to world music, film scores, jazz and had a large collection of culturally deep, “high-concept” films, foreign films, and design/art books. I was the only kid at school listening to Brazilian, Latin, and classical music. Read the rest of this entry »
