Rich Magazine's First Issue: Things I Love

One of the blogs I read, Coute Que Coute, always finds amazing fashion spreads from magazines around the world. This one, from the first issue of Rich Magazine in Japan, I thought was so compelling and touched on such a variety of themes.

From the life sized pearls, to the glittery Balmain-esque jacket, the shots were so well styled and really intriguing.

Below I've included a couple of my favorites. The whole hat series was awesome but I particularly liked the mask (is that Lucille Ball?) with the bowler hat (and one mouse ear), and the glossy red lips of the model.


And here I loved the color, the fabric, the draping...




Enjoy!

Things I Want: Balmain F/W 2010

I've really gotten into Balmain the past couple of years, starting with their recent explosion with their women's collection. But their last two men's collections have really started to pull me in.

I especially like the translation of the iconic tough military shoulder from their women's jackets into a piece for men. And I LOVE the kneepad/riding pant design in the look pictured below.

Sign me up for this whole thing!
