A Stylish Freak Show

Top by Christian Dior

I love, love the digital age. As a matter of fact, I'm obsessed with the social and digital media, which comes with a territory as it's my profession. If you told me so a decade ago that I'd be using the expertise to make professional companies social and digital media savvy - I'd be very surprised by your predictions. But here I am - ten years later...dealing with the creative, social and digital media on a daily basis.

Before the digital - 3D - age, we had flat photography with, perhaps, a bit of the 'effects' of 3D, but without the actual 3D. We saw fashion designs flat, models flat, and background flat, although I still love the works of the old schoolers - Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton...But now it's all changing, and I'm not talking about the on-going battle with the too much of the photoshop retouching that sometimes makes the natural art look too unnatural and unnecessary...


Fashion Designers Reed + Rader  went even further - they did the animated fashion shoot in the theme of a 'circus'. While some sources call it a 'freak' show, I do like it - it's new, it's original, it's artistic, and whatever is artistic naturally appeals to me...However, the question is, how 'digital' we want the art go, how much to push the art form as for it to become too 'digitized"? Would the old charm of old-school art then disappear? Personally, I still prefer to see most of the films the 'old fashioned' way, and only those that base on the special effects more than on a story line, I could watch in 3D - [Alice in Wonderland, Shrek - 3, The Avatar...]

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:
