Rock God

"I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments."- Morrison

Jim Morrison was best known as the lead singer of the band The Doors, and introduced the world of rock to a new kind of rock n roll by combining psychedelic rock with poetic lyrics.

Besides being a sex symbol and the ultimate rock star of his time, he was also a published poet. Throughout his career Morrison would avidly staged live spoken word poems. 

Some of his most notable hits with the The Doors were "Light My Fire", "People Are Strange" and "Love Her Madly", just to name a few. Morrison was also the lyricist of the group.

When we think of  Jim Morrison, we have this image of him in our minds and its the famous shots Joel Brodsky took of him titled "The Young Lion". These black and white images are the most iconic images of Jim Morrison.

His stage presence was enigmatic, he commanded the stage in a style all his own and connected with every single one of his enamored fans...

Terry's World

Terry Richardson is an American fashion photographer whose shots are quiet eccentric to say the least...

Getting his start as an assistant to photographer Tony Kent, Richardson has collaborated with many high profile celebrities.

Some of his campaigns consist of Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent. His editorials are standouts, when your flipping the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair or GQ you know when your glancing at a Richardson editorial. 

His style of photography is usually consistent of celebrities doing the mundane day to day activities, however glorifying it. A sense of sexual connotation is also quiet prominent in his work especially in his recently released work titled "TERRYWOOD".

His style of photography maybe a bit too bold for some, but however you view his photography it does grab your attention and make a bold statement.

Go Camo

The hottest trend right now are camouflage pants...

 Rock them in a super skinny or a boyfriend pant, both styles look fab. Rag & Bone's drop crotch turban style camo pants are perfect for the fashionista with an edge...

Wear them out on the town with a sexy pair of sling backs and a over sized black leather vest. One of my fav looks are rocking them turban style with a black lace peplum top, this gives your look a combination of military and romanticism... 

This trend is versatile, you can dress it up or down and it is definitely a wardrobe must have.

The Artist

American artist and sculptor Jeff Koons designs are truly out of this world. 

When you think of Koons first thing that comes to mind is the large scale puppy in front of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain. It truly is a show stopper!

One of my favorite works of Koons is his Celebration series. These sculptures and paintings consisted of large scale tulips, balloon toy dogs, and valentine hearts.

This series consisted of 20 varies scupltures and 5 different colors. Made of high chromium stainless steel with a mirror finish exterior the sculptures glisten in the moonlight...
