Fashion photographer Viviane Sassen

Fashion photographer Viviane Sassen: a different take | Fashion | The Observer: "Like a handful of mavericks before her – Guy Bourdin and Juergen Teller spring to mind – Sassen has reinvented the form by following her instincts. What is striking about her images is that the clothes and the models are mere props for her imagination: a pair of legs stick through holes in a wall; a girl with a bright red face leans over on a pavement as if defying gravity. She uses mirrors, scissors, paint and Photoshop to mess with the viewer's preconceptions about what a fashion photograph is. It is a long way from the glossiness of Vogue, closer to a post-digital photographic surrealism, though Sassen often still shoots on film and applies Photoshop "in the most amateur and unfinished way". She is, she says, "always impatient and eager to finish" and finds the constraints of "all the hair and make-up stuff" too frustrating. . . " (read more at link above)

The Armani Experience

The Armani Experience - NYTimes.com: " . . . For one thing, Mr. Armani is vastly more wealthy, worth an estimated $8.5 billion, much of that acquired since the recession. He has 9 homes and a 213-foot yacht. In the late ’80s, . . . In those days, he entertained three or four nights during the collections, taking advantage of his Peter Marino-designed palazzo. The shows were held in the basement theater, which seated 200 and was crammed. “He did go to great pains to be social,” an executive said. But the biggest difference is that Mr. Armani is now 79. He survived a severe case of hepatitis two years ago. Why should he listen to anybody? On top of that, he is the sole owner of a nearly $3 billion business. “Maybe in our world we feel he’s a little passé, but he owns every store and factory,” said a former executive, adding with a chortle: “He’s a big industrialist. He doesn’t care! He probably had to be talked into meeting at home, but wasn’t going to sit down for lunch. . . .” (read more at link above)

Bricks and Mortar, the Internet, Retail Fashion

When the high street meets the internet | Lauren Laverne | Fashion | The Observer: " . . . So I applaud Asos's record rise in sales (up 47% to £208m in its final quarter to the end of August). Its customers are right, too: online retailers are part of the high street. The bricks-and-mortar version must offer experiences, products and services that online retailers can't, whether that's advice, a bra that fits or a place to socialise. . . ."
