WWD just announced the shut down of COSMO Girl…I will be sensitive to the fashionistas that will now loose their jobs( that sucks),December will be the last issue.Nonetheless as people in media, we should pay more attention to our surroundings…For alot of publications it’s just a matter of time…Don’t get me wrong I still get so much happiness from flipping through mags and reading great features, but some marketing tactics and features are just dated…
Where I stand fashion magazines should become more special, the disposability of them makes the eco- consciousness inside of me cringe!In the end I think they should become more like books, things people would want to keep,but for that they would have to get beyond trends, and if we must constantly revert to celebrities let’s have something substantial to say about them…As women don’t we love to hear our peers deepest experiences and world views ect…I know alot of them have so much more to talk about than their favorite shopping spots…
Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with a satisfying shopping spree,but you get me right?
NY Mag is earning major points with me lately…Their most recent feature on The CUT is a Q&A with the talented beauties of A Peace Treaty: Dana Arbib & Farah Malik.There are so many talented and stylish women out there ,Love it when mainstream media takes the time to feature them instead of the latest starlett scandal or media appearance…
Vogue Man in India recently chose Hrithik Roshan for their May/08 cover.The Bollywood Star is ….So easy on the eyes I had to share.Bollywood movies are some of the coolest movies out there! The music,the dancing and the hot actors make the three hours fly by…
This is a cool project! Colette has partnered with Lomography on a book project focusing on the unique perspective of the woman’s lens. Some guests include Fafi,Claw Money,Feride Uslu and You ! Our fab /female Highsnobette readers!more info about the project here The slected photographers also get a Limited Edition Diana F. Cam !
We are excited to announce the second annual YOUNITYart exhibition entitled Heart & Soul opening on October 17th, 2008 at Alphabeta in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. As a celebratory theme between 60 international women artists and what they identify as "heart and soul," the exhibit promises an urban landscape installation piece that unifies and pushes the boundaries of graffiti, photography, urban contemporary art and fine art. In addition, YOUNITY will release Heart and Soul, a book featuring works from all 60 artists including: Lady Pink, Martha Cooper and Swoon. With so very few art books that explicitly showcase women’s urban contemporary art, Heart and Soul will debut as much needed authentic niche material for the ever-expanding art industry. Artists Alice Mizrachiand TOOFLY, founders of YOUNITY, look to unify and empower established and young artists through expressive art.
The exhibition will showcase original artwork by current YOUNITY members as part of an indoor/outdoor site specific installation that pays homage to the urban landscape. Members include world-renowned artists: MAD C (Germany), Aiko Nakagawa (Japan), Faith47 (South Africa), Krista Franklin (Chicago), and Diana McClure (NYC), to name a few. Only 60 out of 300 female urban artists were selected to participate in this special exhibit. Works will range from hand-styles and graphics to collage and abstract riffs—all expressing ideas on female identity, the urban habitat, life and love

Obey Clothing has teamed up with the legendary lady of urban photography, Martha Cooper on a collection inspired by the fun days of summer in the city and pieces from her "Street Play " Titled Summer Madness. All you needed was to be "outside"on the side walk in from of the building and engage in a dance routine with you best gal pal( Dancing in the Street/above) or play in the fire hydrant.Full of nostalgia I could not think of a better partner than Obey to make a project like this happen…Love it!
