LOVE NUDES!
LOVE magazine had my attention with Beth Ditto from Gossip stark naked with fiery red hair for their debut issue, then later a slender Alex Hartley, a relatively unknown bloke with very feminine and boyish charms. It is speculated and leaked that the third issue will be a tri-cover with tri-nudes, with Lara Stone, Jeneil Williams and Kristen Mcmenamy. LOVE magazine has great covers, but...

Dior Homme live in your living room.
Dior Homme will be showing this Saturday in Paris at 1500hrs, which will be 2200hrs here in Singapore. As we, the people here at THURS EVE, are a tad busy to be in Paris at the moment, will be missing the show. But thank god for super technology, the show will be streaming from the Dior Homme site. Be sure to be strapped down to your seat by 2100hrs to avoid heavy site traffic which caused the...

Prada boy goes though puberty.
The Prada men, had always been defined as a refined gentlemen especially for the past 2 seasons, no less. However this season, a gentlemen still nonetheless, seemed to have gone back in time.
The collection presented had the same regular pieces, the tailored blazers, a peacoat, albeit a little slouchy and geared with a bigger collar piece, the tailored shirts, and immaculately cut pants. There...

Cathy Horyn on Twitter
Cathy Horyn would start unleashing her cutting fashion comments on twitter for The Moment for T magazine. Could online social networks like facebook, twitter and tumblr be the next new form of fashion journalism? Especially with twitter that only allows you to post a sentence worthy of a thought? Perhaps a little dessert or espresso after a full meal? Or maybe she might twitter about how her tea...

The fragrance you’ve been waiting for, the Maison Martin Margiela fragrance, but without the smell test of Martin Margiela himself, since his departure since late last year. The fragrance is created by Firmenich perfumer Daniela Andrier, which had her latest offering of L’Eau Ambree for Prada.
The non-label approach is applied for the Maison’s first fragrance, aptly named...

Terry and New Terry
Terry Richardson is now posting his pictures with celebrities, and top fashion models here on tumblr.! I think it is an interesting progression of fashion photography, a top fashion photographer posting pictures up on a blog, delves more into the question of photography being a medium of voyeurism today. Also, Terry is very fun to watch, especially with his new me.

The LOFW: Land of Free-Will (issue one)
Written by Jade Lee
Introducing The Land of Free-Will
There is silent consensus amongst inhibitors of this land. Every wink or smile; every look or touch, the recipient of these gestures will immediately know each message conveyed effortlessly. They seldom speak. Sounds making out syllables of words mean nothing to them. Instead, symbols are used just like the ancient days or the beginning of...

Choose your Color!
I was surfing the WWW, and came across this fabulous concept from France. 180g gives you the choice of your color for jackets, shirts, and even exclusive pairs of Nike sneakers that are available at their store. Choose from a palette with more than 100 distinct colors, each numbered and apparently stored in bottles that looks they’re from a Science lab.

Parco next Next
It had been nearly a week since the Parco designers showed at Milennia Walk. There were 25 designers that showcased their works, and each with their view of how fashion in Singapore should look like today. Although some had a forward vision of how it should look, many seemed to be stuck in their own dimension of time.
Last week, I bumped into Emma Dick, the fashion head of department of Lasalle,...

Frozenbovine and Animeguycumming on Facebook Chat
Frozenbovine
what kind of issues fashion-wise (or not) do you think need to be raised anyway? am curious
Animeguycumming
oh I wrote an article about rei kawakubo with her recent collection and referenced her to Kant, Kant's view of art and her rejection of it showing fashion as art. fashion has always been closely associated with art culture, society but never really been discussed
Animeguycumming
in a manner where art is, there are some articles and papers on fashion but very very rare i think that is an issue, the discussion on fashion especially in singapore, which explains the market here being so immature
Frozenbovine
interesting!..i suppose it would apply to the general approach towards design in singapore too
Animeguycumming
yeah and art
Frozenbovine
the underlying problem being that maybe since its considered as a commercialized art (fashion and design), people tend to see it ONLY as commercial in its existence when it does reflect a lot more, sometimes.
Animeguycumming
yeah and you can't blame it
Frozenbovine
haha yeah!
Animeguycumming
because our education system and culture doesn't fit into that!
Frozenbovine
i blame the culture really
Animeguycumming
but then there's a confusion or argument
Frozenbovine
why?
Animeguycumming
art is also a money making vehicle sometimes even more money damien hirst murakami
Frozenbovine
lol celebrity artists..
Animeguycumming
commercial art? so, still art or not? hmm this conversation
Frozenbovine
art, but unfortunately tainted by art politics?
Animeguycumming
should be published! and where does art politics come from then?
Frozenbovine
lol in the totally underwhelming form of a facebook chat from the commercial gallery system hahaha
Animeguycumming
when did lines become so clear for art? or wait has it always been that clear church commissioned artworks are the modern day commercial artworks art superstars
Frozenbovine
that's quite hilarious
Animeguycumming
michaelangelo assimilable to hirst? haha
Frozenbovine
that today's sistine chapel is damien hirst's preserved cow?
Animeguycumming
hahaaha!!!
Frozenbovine
no wonder some people hate modern art really takes a piss at "respectable" art
Animeguycumming
haha funny how these words are made these divisions are drawn "respectable" because it is more historical?
Frozenbovine
respectable because enough people said so, i think van gogh was barely anybody until he died, THEN critics suddenly found the genius and innovation in his works
Animeguycumming
well yeah he was ahead of his time a visionary perhaps
or or or or very bad at marketing haha
Frozenbovine
maybe, but i also think it shows that other people play a strong role in defining what is art.. you know, in today's world, he would have been brilliant at marketing
cutting off his ear? total tabloid material
Animeguycumming
hhaah! yah man its true that people have a great role in art. rich people like charles saatchi made hirst a gazillionaire and the art world being a completely ludicrous hierarchy system, but also divisions that are so blur that the poorest painter can be at an opening sipping champagne
Frozenbovine
its the reason why he's at the opening actually. hahahaha
Animeguycumming
haha
Animeguycumming
need an alias?
Frozenbovine
its not that often i get to talk about these things too nah, nothing incriminating here lol
Animeguycumming
frozencow? i will be....
Frozenbovine

Animeguycumming

Frozenbovine
the diamondskull is quite fab though
Animeguycumming

Frozenbovine

Animeguycumming

maybe that is why it is fab

Pen it Down.
Writers are a honest bunch. To be a good writer, you will need to be transparent and express with courage. You will tend to magnify seemingly insignificant negative emotions, and analyse them a great deal, in order to capture the attention of readers who shouldn’t have bothered to bring negative attention upon themselves. It is easy to draw inferences, albeit from a single statement, about a...

The Rising Index of Fetish Heels
During the past few seasons, the heel length had been experimented, had caused physical abuse to the models, and also burning holes in many women’s pockets.
This season, Alexander Mcqueen decked out an army of “aliens” in his collection aptly titled Plato’s Atlantis, wearing these sky high 12” heels. As a result, the models walked in a peculiar way that resembled...

WatchBeth Ditto on Fashion
“People are like oh, Fashion is so shallow. Well, the people in fashion thinks really shallow. I don’t ever feel like the designers are really shallow. Because i always have my experience with them as that they’re incredible artists with a very broad spectrum who are working in a very narrow industry.”

Margiela's retirement
Indeed, as of 26th October 2009, as reported in “The Cut” , Margiela’s retirement from the Maison is confirmed. Diesel’s Renzo Rosso expressed that he was very close to naming the new designer. Thus, it is time for a new hero, and with that responsibility, the new designer would be put under great pressure to revive the Maison’s radical movements in fashion and art.
