Kellan = Calvin Klein UNDERWEAR =)

Twilight stud muffin Kellan Lutz is Calvin Klein's "new Mark Wahlberg," according to Fox News. "Kellan has been signed to Calvin Klein for a huge campaign that will feature him in his skivvies all over billboards and in magazines," a source tells them. The label reportedly wants to re-create Wahlberg's ads, and thinks Lutz is the best person to fill out the manties. Calvin Klein underwear is a mighty campaign to land, a coup for Lutz, his personal trainer, and the Twilight empire. And so as 2009 draws to a close, there could be no better time to reflect on Twilight's fashion journey, from its humble beginnings to ridiculously glamorous future.
The saga has had quite a mystic fashion adventure over the past year. Landing most noticeably first in Hot Topic stores, Twi merch bolstered the retailer's sales in the third quarter of '08, one of the worst economic periods in decades, keeping the chain not only from going under but also astoundingly profitable. The rest of the industry drooled over those financial returns, and companies quickly began scheming for their own fashion-derived pot of Twilight gold. Nordstrom was quick to launch its own Twilight line of Team Edward T-shirts, jewelry, and other nonsense. Increasingly ridiculous Twilight product launches followed, including makeup (more than one line), "Edward's smile" necklaces, and vampire-fang veneers, which cost from $250 for a dentist to apply.
The power of Twilight did not escape the notice of the fashion media, which also fell on incredibly hard times in 2009. Desperate to recover and, like too many of us, unable to ignore the psychodom of the Twilight empire any longer, fashion editors let loose their fangs and sank them into the vulnerable horde of teens and their parents, now hungry to know themselves what all this fuss was about. Hedi Slimane shot Robert Pattinson — an ex-model, in fact — for the September issue ofAnOther Man. Next came Harper's Bazaar, the December cover of which starred Kristen Stewart and R-Pattz, further fueling relationship rumors with a dark, romantic spread inside the issue. Before the Lutz news broke, rumors surfaced about shirtless star Taylor Lautner signing on as the new face of Armani.
After all that, where are these stars to go? They've sparkled, vamped, and muscled their way from the dredges of Hot Topic to high fashion. They can have only one final destination: Vogue. E! Online reports that Robert Pattinson was shot for the magazine at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art along with his Remember Me co-star Emilie de Ravin.
Photographer Norman Jean Roy is said to have shot them in several spots throughout the museum, including interior and exterior setups. "It's kind of edgy in a Vogue way," the source says. "Emilie is wearing high fashion but it's like sort of tattered-looking. Rob is mainly in suits."

Sure, Vogue will publish the photos under the pretense of Remember Me coming out. But that's only because they missed the Twilight train in the heat of New Moon. They may have been wishing it to disappear like the rest of us, but with the rest of the industry hooked and profiting, the mighty beast can go ignored no longer. And if that magazine came around to Lady Gaga, they can come around to anything.

Thank you nymag for the article and the pics!! =) xo xo :el fano:

Tengu Special Edition


tengu

Tengu Special Edition
This Tengu comes in a special black case. He responds in the same as a regular Tengu, but looks extra fly!
We only produced a small batch of these little guys and once they're gone, so why not stand out in the Tengu crowd with a special edition character.
Tengu is a USB-powered character that lights up and lip-syncs to music, or your voice, or whatever noise happens to be around at the time. Tengu has different facial expressions that you can match to different music. When there's no sound he'll simply fall asleep, as soon as he detects some noise he'll wake up again. Tengu is a fun little character who guarantees to raise a smile as he mimes along to your favourite songs.
Tengu is a stand-alone device that does not require any additional software on the host computer. To change Tengu’s facial expressions you just need to blow on his face for a second (his face will change automatically if he hears a lot of loud music). Tengu responds to sound level and with the right music he magically synchs with the singer.

What does he do?
Tengu reacts to sound: plug him into a USB port on your computer and his face lights up and reacts to the sound around him (your voice, music, the dog barking - he'll react to anything he hears!)


Check out the faq, watch the videos or drop us an email if you're still unclear about anything Tengu-wise!
What's in the box?
1 x Tengu special edition
1 x 0.5m USB cable
1 x Instruction booklet


The Tengu packaging is 12.5cm x 8cm x 2.25cm (height x width x depth), and each box weighs about 100g.

OM[f]G!!! tengu now comes in BLACK! =} ... so thanks to my BFF!! =) I've had "THE ORIGINAL" TENGU for [eons]! {lol} and he is always a delight for friends and clients alike! Always causing trouble [of the BEST kind] and always ALWAYS laughing with me! [and well, a lot of the times AT me] lol .. but, I LOVE HIM!!!! =) perhaps I could do EBONY and IVORY if I get a BLACK [ltd edt] TENGU!! ohhhh the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!!!! TENGU = FUN for the WHOLE FAMILY!! =) xo xo :el fano:

MANUEL ALBARRAN PUTS PEDAL TO THE METAL



The November issue of Dazed recently featured Spanish designer/artist Manuel Albarran's metal couture and we take a look at his new collection that are at once both futuristic as well as making historic reference. Traversing between art and fashion means Albarran's work sit just as well in fashion editorials as they do in installations or potentially films (his dream is to collaborate with Guillermo Del Toro and Ridley Scott). 

Dazed Digital: Where are you based?

Manuel Albarran: Between Barcelona and London

DD: What materials do you use to make your pieces?
Manuel Albarran: Mainlly all metals combine with leather, fabrics, feathers and wood

DD: They are often quite warrior-like or mythical looking, what is the story behind them?
Manuel Albarran: That's one of the subject I like.

DD: Who do you have in mind when you design?
Manuel Albarran: Depends some time blank mind and just follow my instinct another I just follow some ideas and developed them.

DD: What inspires you at the moment?
Manuel Albarran: All historic and futuristic subjects

DD: Who would you like to collaborate with?
Manuel Albarran: Guillermo Del Toro and Ridley Scott

DD: How would you describe your own style?
Manuel Albarran: When you see one of my pieces you will know it is mine but if I have to say some thing will be Heavy Couture.

DD: If you weren't designing, what would you be doing?
Manuel Albarran: Martial arts.

DD: What are your plans for the future?
Manuel Albarran: I'll like to concentrate more in my one sort art films and art exhibitions, fashion for me is a platform to reach my aim.



{these "METAL" couture pieces [i am 4-seriously] in love with!! thank you dazed digital {as always} for the images and the interview.. [more pics here] xo xo :el fano:
