Kanye West on VMAN

February 9, 2011 |

Kanye-West-on-VMAN
Here are the best words to generally sum up things about this cover, and my dear music idol Kanye. “In Kanye’s only magazine cover shoot of the season, he shows that he’s finally done talking and wants his art to speak for itself. He has literally put his money where his mouth is, and in tandem, VMAN has issued a promotion where one in ten covers contain REAL dollar bills. It’s the ‘thrill of the game’ – and who better to illustrate this than one of the most controversial music and fashion icons of our generation.” VMAN’s “No Risk, No Reward” issue, with Kanye West photographed exclusively by Karl Lagerfeld, is now available on newsstands.


The 16th issue of VMAN Magazine features 10-page spread shot entitled "Gentlemen of Leisure" photographed by fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld and styled by Jacob K. with models Baptiste Giabiconi, Iris Strubegger, and Oriol Elcacho wearing pieces from Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Versace, Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus, Yves Saint Laurent, Dries Van Noten, etc. "Spring’s finest-cut suits hark back to a time of old-world elegance and tailoring. Inspired by icons like the Duke of Windsor, Rudolph Valentino, Gary Cooper, and Baron Nicolas De Gunzburg, these photographs beg the question, how well kept are you?"

VMAN Magazine issue #16 hits newsstands November 17th.

Karl Who?

July 11, 2009 |


We first noticed the statement in a cloth bag worn by a great designer who happens to be Karl Lagerfeld. Now, it's even more interesting with the statement on the shirt from Naco. Thanks to Colette, things would be much more at breeze since you can get this at the online store now. So, who the heck is Karl again?

Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, here are the photos for the Chanel Cruise 2009/10 ad campaign with models Karen Elson and Baptiste Giabiconi. With Venice as its main inspiration, the dim-lighted concept captured the essence of the Venetian lifestyle and Italian Spirit.


Black and white stripes, suited-sailor theme, and the lovely Venetian setting, that would be the whole definition of what Karl Lagerfeld did to the resort collection of Chanel. With inspiration coming from Tatjana Patitz's son, Tadzio in the novel "Death in Venice", the cardigans, shorts and the well tailored suits defined a modern sailor paddling through the water ways of Venice. Synonymous to a love story, two lovers wouldn't get a happy ending without an antagonist, just like Lagerfeld's use of the infamous color tandem of black and white, the red seems to be contrasting yet stunning that made me think of what red had symbolize in the 1971 film.

Motorcyclers get ready for this. There's a new helmet in town that will surely keep you on the groove while you're on the road. His excellency, Karl Lagerfeld and Les Ateliers Ruby collaborated for this extraordinary headgear. Fresh from the runway of his F/W 2009/2010 show is the Tweed Helmet, one of the few helmets in the collection. Same fabric used in the famous Chanel jackets, i never thought that a helmet would look so subtle yet striking. Also, the tweed has a pocket for your Ipod which makes the headgear ultra stunning.

Immortal it is, Karl Lagerfeld reigns supreme in his field. He has been through a lot of scenes and everybody knows he is the real DEAL. He has done unbelievable things before and spectators of his shows can prove that he can do anything beyond the usual (like doing a fashion show at The Great Wall of China or creating an enlarge version of a carousel for a fall/winter collection). Coming from 10.Deep's Spring 2009 collection is a Karl Lagerfeld/Terminator shirt which has the best graphics so far. Comes in two colorways: black and white, the shirt has "IMMORTAL" text at the back part. Immortal shirt is available at 10.Deep.
