October fashion screensaver inspired by Kirafashion

(click here to upload the screensaver or print a copy.)

In a whim, I drew the October screensaver inspired by the beauty, natural grace and stylish love for fashion, expressed by Kira, who writes the Brazilian fashion blog http://www.kirafashion.com.br/.

Until pen touches paper, I actually never know what I am going to draw, and this month was no exception. My pencils just sort of found their way around the page, until the message came through.

When I’m drawing I want to bring the viewer into an imaginary world that is filled with the mood, the feelings and the glow of the natural changes in the seasons that inspire my fashion swings.

For October, I’ve carried Kira into a forest, filled with the gentle winds of fall and styled her with a black leather biker jacket, thigh high boots, lacey tights and the denim Parisian pouf skirt (naturally from my book, Denim Revolution.) It’s a romantic mix of old and new, the familiar and the unexpected, reflecting the friendships that we value. I hope it inspires you to be free, express yourself and enjoy October and all that it blows into your world.

LACOSTE - evolução francesa

2009 is the year of France in Brazil. Evolução Francesa is a project from Lacoste that brings the French culture to Brazil. I've been involved in this project to take picture of +100 people wearing Lacoste (mixed with their own clothes) around the world. The pictures are going to be posted every day on that blog until December. At the end of the project I'll be going to São Paulo to photograph the final event!

Man Fashion: America Football Jerseys

The Throwback Jersey was first introduced in the NFL in the 1994 75th anniversary season and continue to be popular with both fans and teams. A wide variety of throwback designs have been worn in the NFL, with varying degrees of accuracy.


If you claim yourself to be a football fan, you should definitely get yourself one of these great NFL throwback jerseys. In the older days of football, the NFL was known to be more than just a commercial sport.


Critics who used to pour their love over football are now saying the NFL has become more entertaining than it should be, and players, are now playing for themselves more than for the team, such as Tim Tebow, The Heisman Trophy Winning quarterback.By the way, if you follow the news closely. Tim Tebow literally got slammed and injured by the Kentucky defense and took a hard blow on his head yesterday.


Whatever you hear, we are more into the trendy jesseys rather than anything else.

How to mend and patch jeans like a fashion pro

- click here for tutorial -

Sometimes jeans are literally hanging together by threads and it's time to express your fashion prowess, experiment with your sewing skills and start mending and patching. Not only will it improve the durability and life of the jeans ... but it is so fun to enjoy the results.

On this blog, I am going to share with you some mending and patching tutorials - starting right here (click here) with my most basic technique, and also a heavenly one - just for denim - that I call, "cat and mouse."

Hope you love it, and shoot me any questions or images!

Denim is our comfort clothing and more

(above and below - Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 collection)
Denim is our comfort clothing. And when it becomes shredded, worn, ripped and stained it is even more appealing and personal. That's the moment when our jeans take on a new energy – built around a romantic history of having lived, loved and traveled. Designers know this and try to find ways to satisfy and define their denim beliefs. Carine Roitfeld and French Vogue rarely let an issue go by without a denim story or at least the "model's own jeans." Currently, at the spring 2010 fashion shows on both sides of the Atlantic, designers are sending jeans down the catwalk, that look like they are the model’s own, accessorized like model’s do, with all the knick-knacks that they seem to inherit from the previous shows or fittings. The look is never more charming when it is authentic and you do it yourself, mending, patching or beading your own way.

L’Oreal Silver and Gold Holiday Ad and Collection

L’Oreal Silver and Gold Holiday Ad and Collection. If you're on the hunt for a good holiday makeup collection be sure to check out the L’Oreal Silver and Gold line. The colors truly make you think of the Holidays since gold, silver and bronze are perfect for the holiday season. Beyonce is featured in the ad for the Holiday collection and she looks gorgeous wearing a fringe gold dress and her eye makeup looks wonderful. Check out the ad below and I love the packaging for the products.

L.A.M.B. By Gwen Stefani Spring / Summer Collection 2010 NYFW

L.A.M.B. By Gwen Stefani Spring/Summer Collection 2010 NYFW. Stefani has been making quite a name for herself in the fashion world and for the Spring Summer Collection 2010 many of her designs used drapery, the use of showing off the shoulders, and baggy/roomy silhouettes. Overall I loved her collection and you can see some of her designs for the spring summer season below.

Man of the month: Brat Pitt

This was his dressed down casual wear spotted at the 57th Annual San Sebastian Film Festival earlier this month.


Donning bomber jacket, newsboy cap and sunglasses, Brad Pitt remained mostly hidden behind his graying beard. Even looking like the Unabomber, he still manages to cut a stylish figure, I like his latest look.
