For the vision-impaired amongst us, it’s even gone glow-in-the dark. What has remained fairly predictable, however, is the box. Take a trip down the intimate aisle of your local pharmacy and you’ll be faced with a wall of chiseled gentleman entwined with open-mouthed young ladies in modest states... read more

Author and photographer Anthea Paul is the consummate devotee of DIY. “I’m a great believer in doing it by yourself, on your own and with a video, if possible.” She’s talking about yoga, but the sentiment could certainly be applied to the Girlosophy project, an initiative that has come to embody a message of fun, savvy and free-spirited femininity. Under the Girlosophy flag, Paul has produced a series of self-help... read more

VOGUE SNAPS TAYLOR TOMASI HILL’S NY APARTMENT

Though former Marie Claire US accessories editor-turned-Moda Operandi artistic director, Taylor Tomasi Hill once had us drooling over her New York apartment in the West Village, the hip red-nut has moved just a little uptown to a new abode.

JIM HODGES: WE ARE POEMS

YO NO HABLO ESPANOL

In 2011, photographer Christopher Morris returned to Central North Mexico, capturing the banality of the everyday and giving it a sense of dignity. In his forthcoming exhibition, Yo No Hablo Español (I Don’t Speak Spanish), he reveals the resolute pride of landscapes and life in a parched Mexico rarely glimpsed. As one of our regular contributors, we follow Morris’ work quite closely, but generally it’s only the fashion side of things we see. It’s through personal works, such... read more
