Ocean & Other Stories by H&M

After getting an insight into the accessoire collection and the new fragrance from H&M's new label "&Other Stories", today they carry us away to the deep blue. The recent video tells the story of the ocean prints which were created for the Spring/Summer-collection 2013. The atmospheric interpretation leaves us wanting to float in these wonderful patterns.

YOKO OH! OR NO ?

It's a phenomenon one can observe many times - An iconic character is revived again in a new context. 

These days it seems to be a subliminal hype surrounding Yoko Ono. Besides appearing in Karl Lagerfeld's "The Little Black Jacket" exhibition you can wear Yoko now printed on your chest aswell.

Furthermore 1 week ago it got confirmed that the japanese artist and autor, well-known from her marriage with Beatles legend John Lennon, is going to launch a limited menswear collection at the online retailer Opening Ceremony.  Since two days brave young men can now order the eccentric collection of the japanese artist and autor and while we really like the illustrative video we are quite uncertain about the fashion itself. 

Do we really want to see the sunny male side in these fabrics?

Some extracts of the collection and more about the recent Yoko-hype after the jump.

And What's is better for the final touch of a fashion comeback than a T-Shirt with the face on it? No surprise ZARA recognized the Yoko trend and transformed it on the most simple fashion medium - The white shirt.                                            

F/W 2012/13 ZARA 

What do you think? Yoko OH! or NO?

“BUT THEY SAY IF YOU DREAM A THING MORE THAN ONCE, IT'S SURE TO COME TRUE.” (Walt Disney Company, 12 Princess Stories)

As the chilly weather slowly but surely reaches our city we dream of hiding away. Hiding in our most beautiful dresses and dreaming ourselves away in a calm, fairytale-like world.

 This feeling is perfectly represented by a favorite photo series of Samuel Hodge he shot for I Love You No.5, The Princess Issue.

During a fashion casting you have to stand out at first glance. You are just one of many beauties - a true challenge for your ego, no matter how talented or famous you already are. 

But not just for the main role. One travels along a rocky road until they find the perfect face, picture, and mood for the imaginary story which is going to be told. Trough the following photo series our beloved stylist Ann-Kathrin Obermeyer and photoraph Adrian Crispin captured a (not-so-)random casting situation for our EGO ISSUE. Additionally he mentioned just a fraction of what is admirable in the women's nature.

VIVA PARIS her t-shirt says “all you need is me” — she came in with two other russian girls all wearing really strong perfume and putting on their high heels in the stairwell 4.) ANNA CANTEROT @ MARIL YN PARIS she recently moved from
