The First Lady of Fashion

Oh what is a first lady to wear to the Inaugural Ball? WWD asked 34 designers to imagine what Michelle Obama could wear for the Inaugural Ball on January 20th, Christian Lacroix's images (pictured above) are the most impressive by a country mile and put the other designs/designers to shame frankly, see for yourself, more here.

Is it a bird, is it a fashion statement?

I had to share these incredible films by fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø, working in collaboration with SHOWstudio, Sundsbø has produced a series of films and spectacular images of a parakeet, although they can't seem to decide which spelling to use for their show: Parroquet, Perroquet?

View the films HERE, gorgeous slow motion flight filmed on high-speed cameras and then graded in post-production by The Mill, to create rich, vibrant and intoxicating short films.
