Katsuya Kamo

Katsuya Kamo (Japan) is a renowned hair and makeup artist, who is most known by his incredible head pieces. Kamo said in an interview that he wanted to be a fashion designer but didn’t know how to do that. A friend showed him hairdressing work and he gave it a shot instead. His dramatic approach of hair styling is a kind of sculptural work in which he uses the most varied materials as feathers, paper, wood, plastic and hair itself.
One of his most important collaborations is with Junya Watanabe and in the Spring of 2009 he created the whole headpieces to Chanel's collection from paper flowers.
By the way, take a look at his wonderful house at the Selby.

'Like a Doll' - Tim Walker and Lindsey Wixson

We are amazed by this shoot entitled 'Like a Doll' with one of our favorite models, Lindsey Wixson. It is on Vogue Italia January 2012.
It is an ambiguous set of images in a fantasy world that only our dear Tim Walker can create.
Enjoy.

CO|TE

CO|TE is an italian brand and the name means shelter and protection. It has been created by Tomasi Anfonsi and Francesco Ferrari, both graduated from Istituto Marangoni. Their design focus on geometrical silhouettes and the tradition of italian quality. This spring/summer collection shows a mix and match possibility from the basic shirts with minimal cuts, the color choice and range of accessories. We find the feathered shirt colors to die for especially by the variety of colors (that you can see on their website) that always gives a twist on a basic outfit.
