Okay, firstly: Happy new year 2009 to all of you!
I´m not a friend of New Year´s pledges..but next year will be very exiting! I will study in another city and really have for the first time of my life the chance to act autonomic; and therefore I just want to underline the importance of patience and satisfaction. And peace. Because peace is the fundament of living together within civilisation..
Let´s close the year with the wonderful Freja and the expressive Cole.

Actually he looks like a science fiction hero from a strange universe...
Happy Christmas everybody. Have a lovely evening and morning! :)
Agyness Deyn and Freja Beha Erichsen for Vogue (Januar/February).
Both of them exude feminity; elegant and simple.
Moreover it´s really nice to see that Freja isn´t just the androgynous girl, who polarizes the fashion world..
Of late, Reykjavik has been outdoing itself in proffering a veritably groaning selection of creative confectionary; much to the benefit of the sweet teeth and slavering imaginations of the world’s culture vultures. But now, plucked from the top drawer, there is a morsel of such rare succulence that it is sure to gain attention even beyond the cordoning velvet rope that sequesters the art world’s N.I.P (Nearly Important People). Sykur (meaning Sugar) are a nascent 3 piece electro group (Stefán, Halldór and Kristján are 16, 17 and 19 respectively) whose tracks are sweet and fun enough to warrant pleated, waxen presentation cases (by Gazed Digital)
Prada is giving a whole new spin to its men’s wear ad campaign for Spring with the help of former Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane.
This is the first time Slimane has worked with Prada on such a project. Slimane, who resumed his photography career following his exit from Dior last year, took black and white portraits of Louis and Claude Simonon, sons of Paul and Tricia Simonon, the bass player and manager of Punk band The Clash. In a statement, Prada said the brothers were photographed “in moments of reflection and introspection. It is a symbolic yet understated approach to desire in men’s wear; a new classicism with a rebel edge.” The Simonons are still in school in England and neither have previously modeled before or worked with Slimane. The artist has strong ties to the music world and published a photography book entitled, “Rock Diary,” earlier this year. (WWD)
Like a lot of TFS visitors I´m a little bit disappointed...Slimane is replacing Meisel...
I´ve won a gift card at Les Mads Advent Calendar- 4 Pairs of Happy Socks!
So now I´m looking for cool socks..colours against the misery and cold winter :)
But there are soo much and therefore I´m not sure which I should take..
“There are no messages, themes or commentary to understand,” explained Diesel creative director Wilbert Das of the hipster take on David Lynch. “Our objective is to intrigue and provoke a thought.” As for fall, Das worked with Stockholm-based ad agency FarFar on the new campaign.
Diesel is continuing its surrealistic direction in its ads for spring, which will break in February magazines, including GQ, Details, Flaunt and Nylon, as well as outdoors in major cities like New York and L.A. Using black-and-white images shot by John Scarisbrick, the ads center on darkly enigmatic scenes such as an elderly foot fetishist worshipping model Jon Kortajarena’s Diesel high-top sneakers or a ramshackle apartment filled with cats. Rock progeny Alexandra Richards makes a cameo in one of the ads, which were photographed at 1896 Studios in Brooklyn.
