Lorelai's Things: February 2011

Style Icon, Bjork

February 27, 2011

She's a very unique singer/composer/actress from Iceland and definitely a fashion icon. Her eccentric taste and her stylistic choices in clothes have made her appearances on and off stage extraordinary and so theatrical. Either you love her or you hate her. Personally I love her looks, she's very innovative and she started it way before Lady Gaga did. She has collaborated with Alexander Mcqueen (she has chosen many of his clothes for her appearances and her album cover 'Homogenic' was designed by him.) and Jeremy Scott. Like her music, everything on her, her beauty an her style are different, creative, inspiring and so unique. Enjoy her photos...

The song, Bjork wrote to honor Alexander McQueen.

The photographer, Nigel Tomm

February 24, 2011

Nigel Tomm is a famous photographer, but is really hard to be 'googled'!(I couldn't find out any piece of information about him!) He is a writer, photographer, musician, director and painter and obviously wants to remain a mystery!His work is different and unique!He's a genius and he puts weird long titles to his photos! He has very innovating ideas and he offers you a whole new optic angle of the photography. See what I mean...

Read his blog here and find out more about the mysterious artist!

Minimarket-swedish fashion

February 20, 2011

I recently discovered the swedish clothing label MINIMARKET. Three sisters are behind this fashion business, Pernilla, Sofie and Jennifer Elvestedt and they launched the first collection in 2006. Since then, MINIMARKET was awarded as 'best designer of the year' by swedish Elle many times. Recently the girls added accessories to their line, with focusing on shoes(Lady Gaga alredy bought a pair of shoes from Minimarket's collection). They have cooperated with designers, brands and shops such as Tatty Devine, Topshop and Roxy.

I really loved the latest collection SS11 ... especially the accessories...see...

Head-master-pieces

February 19, 2011

As you may have seen I love headpieces, I think is an accessory that can make the difference in an outfit and is by itself a fashion statement. So searching through Etsy I found these three artist that create fabulous masterpieces for your head!

Get Inspired and be unique!

Dalton Ghetti,The pencil sculptor

The artist Dalton Ghetti, who lives in Connecticut but was born in Brazil, uses pencils and creates miniature masterpieces!He is a professional carpenter for the past 25 years and he turns the pencils tips to amazing miniature sculptures using only a razor,sewing needles and a modeling knife BUT NOT a magnifying glass coz' he just refuses to! Dalton says that it normaly takes a few months to finish a mini sculpture, but the longer he has spent on a pencil was two and half years!

It's also amazing because the artist has not made any money from these pieces, he's only doing it for himself! Well, I think he's an original artist and I truly respect all people with that kind of patience!!
