Inspiration File #1-Vorpal Images

Welcome to a brand-new column: The Inspiration Files. Once a week I will update with what's inspiring me, be it runway fashion, photography, or the work of other artists. Each file will contain a lush collection of images designed to ignite and inspiration the imagination. Feedback is welcome!

Installment # 1-Vorpal Images

Oregon photographer Vorpal Images creates atmospheric portraits and fashion photography, full of lush colors, sensuous content and swirling, elaborate hairdos. I initially discovered them while doing some internet research on Rococo fashion. This hot pink and highly detailed confection caught my eye instantly, but Vorpal is no one-trick pony. Browse their editorials and archives on flickr for an astounding body of work that is one-part fashion and one part fantasy.

Auxiliary Magazine-Rewriting the Rulebook on Alternative Fashion

I'm excited to announce that the 4th issue of Auxiliary Magazine is up online for your browsing pleasure. Auxiliary Magazine is a very high-quality publication that brings you the alternative fashion, music and lifestyle articles. Best of all, it's free as a downloadable PDF, or you can snag a paper copy from Magcloud.



While it's true that I write for Auxiliary Magazine and am obviously biased as a result, I think I would still love it if I wasn't involved. There are very few publications in this particular vein that pay such attention to layout, quality content and exhibit such diversity of material. Auxiliary seems to exude rare sensibility that keeps one eye on the underground and one eye on the going-ons of contemporary high fashion, which is a breath of fresh air.

If nothing else, the pictures are pretty and it is FREE. My friends, you have no excuse now.

Royal Rendezvous Series Part II

"She had a heart full of love and devotion.
She had a mind full of tyranny and terror."

There are times when I am lucky enough to work with people who are not only talented but kind and fascinating in their own right. In this series, Dori captured the essence of this look--a deviant aristocrat full of passion and pride.
