Let's talk about sex..

Of sorts. Well talking about a man who encompasses sexuality in his very beard is definately someone worth talking about. Sebastien Tellier. He takes eroticism in music to new levels. He also happens to have great style and be more French than a baguette filled with Napoleon.

Unfotunately in this picture he is without his signature sunglasses.

That's a good starting point. His HUGE sunglasses. They are wonderful. Like staring into a void filled with piano and Tellier. He is not only an instrumentalist but has also played parts in films such as Steak, which had the original soundtrack written by himself, Mr Oizo and SebastiAn. The C.H.I.V.E.R.S, a super slick gang in the film, have these jackets. I want one. If anyone knows where to get it please let me know! But back to the fashion.

He is known for his suit wearing prowess and rightly so. Whether on stage or just relaxing he always looks on top form. Ahh enough said ebout him. Just go to one of his gigs. Then you will understand his majesty.

HORROR!

Lock up your daughters. The Psychobillies have hit the street. And they are out for blood! Like Jack the Ripper but without the rape it's the new breed of goth.

I love, love, love Ipso Facto. For their style. Yeah it's all about the style.
They have THE hair of gods. The style of gods. And the looks of Aphrodite herself. WHAT A COMBINATION. If only they could multiply. OR clone themselves.


THEN we have the KINGS of goth. They have made having a bowl cut cool and although they may have legs that could be used as toothpics they are still ULTIMATE. in fact i may have to take my jeans in further so that they are that skinny. With names like Spider Webb and Coffin Joe they have given the once night-crawling goths among us a license to bed every young maiden upon the streets.


The dickenzien ladss and laddettes are making a stir, with heavy influences on runway fashion such as Dior and Louis Vuitton (check out their new men's shizzz). I can see this sticking around, if not on the underground scene. And hey if it goes underground then I'm going to go and live on the Victoria Line.

Wednesday's Icon Watch

Just a little look at those people I deem to be worthy of IT status. Today's choice is Alexa Chung. What a darling!

Born November 5, 1983 this lovelly lass has done it all. Being scouted at 14 and then 16 she hit the Storm ranks and landed cover shoots with Elle Girl. She has been gracing our telly screens for a few years now, most famously presenting T4's Popworld (which I love), which she still does. I would talk about her boyfriend but it makes me go green with envy. If only she was a few years younger. Haha.

I happily leave her with the status of IT Girl. She certinaly deserves it.
love 'er

Le Grand Opening!

Here it is!


The very first entry into what should be a nice long blog life. And what better way to start it than with a look at a four of my favourite IT boys and girls

I would do something on the new S/S collections. But that would mean hassle. Maybe later

Well let's see. I know...with Debbie Harry
debbie harry

She basically brought the white wayfarers to the world and is my favourite fashionably, musically, wonderfully, amazing woman. The peroxide bombshell wowed the world with her new looks and she is THE style icon of her era.



Then we have what I would class as her modern day equivalent; Agyness Deyn
Agyness Deyn

She may only be in her twentiesbut this mancunian is quickly becoming the ultimate style icon. She has hit the catwalks with force and coupled with her muse and mate Henry Holland she would appear unstoppable! This girl is certainly going places.

Enough of the lasses let's go for some lads! If I could become anyone for a day then it would have to be Devonte Hynes.

Dev

The ex Test Icicles and now Lightspeed champion boi has gone from post punk nutter to the nerdy boy that your mother loves. Even so he certainly has some clothing taste and managed coin the ultra skinny jeans look before it seemed cool! I love him and although my hair will never look that good I can only hope!

Finally I thougt I'd make an ode to a band who have the geek chic look diwn to a tee! HOT CHIP (who also happen to be my favourite band)
Hot Chip
They are the nerdiest, funniest, yet coolest band obn the planet. Huge glasses and funny moustaches. They have it all. To keep it short and sweet; nerd is good. VERY GOOD
