As the Autumn season approaches, certain men and women around the globe mark it as their most coveted time of year. Why, you ask? While most people are out and about collecting pumpkins, and dare we say it, finishing up their holiday shopping, us fashion admirers are anxiously anticipating Spring’s next chapter. One editorial that left me speechless was W’s Haute Couture Confections. With Karlie Kloss front and center, we ogled over delecate embroidery at Chanel, feminine frills at Armani Privé, and glitzy accessories at Dior.
Mario Testino is recognised as the ultimate fashion photographer of his generation but his pictures of Kate Moss transcend fashion. The consequence of two decades of extraordinary friendship, and phenomenal glamour, this iconic collaboration is an intimate insight into the lives and minds of two of the world’s definitive style leaders.
This book is Mario’s personal homage to his greatest muse: a young girl that captured his heart and eye with her beauty, humour and spirit, and whose image in his photographs has captured imaginations the world over. – Available at Complex Birmingham, or visit www.ComplexMI.com.
Jonathan Adler, a kooky and creative design aficionado dedicated to bringing style, craft, joy, and a general feeling of grooviness to each persons home. Who wouldn’t love that? Here at Complex, we carry his scent collection. Each candle takes its name from one of the places that its creator has drawn inspiration from throughout his travels. Pretty cool.
Ben Sharkeys 1st solo gallery exhibition last night located at the N’Namdi Center For Contemporary Art was nothing short of mind-blowing!
The concept came from a few different directions: “We are continuously bombarded with images of perfection, altered, photoshopped perfection. The eyes are made bigger, skin is smoothed. Lips are pumped. Media has pushed this on us because, well.. we all know that “sex sells.”
The Doll Face series is a commentary of that culture, and a parody of how beauty is altered. These aren’t real faces, the proportions are completely unrealistic. But they are masks.. they are Doll Faces.
Ben, Our great friend and incredible talent has truly made his mark. We wish you nothing but the greatest success.
