Parisian Lingerie Hologram: l’Atelier lingeri
She appears and fades into stars after 9pm each night. It’s like a Cinderella for the grown mind.
Empreinte just opened their first store in Paris, l’Atelier lingeri.

Vogue Paris December 2011/January 2012 (Kate Moss) - Tattoos in Fashion
Tattoos - one area I have not found a conclusion in, within the industry in regards to removing or keeping them.
My good friend, Kevin Haveliwala, just returned from Paris and got me this edition (thank you!).
Kate Miss graces the cover of the latest Vogue Paris. The first thing I noticed was the tattoo, and I smiled.
Based on my own history with editorial work, usually most photographers I have worked for always try to get the makeup artist to cover tattoo’s before a shoot. If they for some reason don’t, they ask me to do so in post. They ensure this is going to be taken care of by including it in the notes during retouching, often with emphasis.
So why am I smiling? Because I don’t consider tattoos as flaws, even though a lot of people remove them in editorials. Then I see this, Kate Moss displaying it with pride.
I think this is also a special case, because that tattoo is part of Kate Moss’s identity. She has shown it numerous times without makeup.
For instance, another notable cover she had was this one below:
There have also been other times this has happened.
So I personally don’t mind this at all, but do know people who always try to remove them.
Public Question:
What do you think? If this was your job, would you keep it or remove it? Furthermore, if the model was not a notable figure (and you were shooting a standard spread), would you remove or keep smaller tattoos? Where do you draw the line with keeping it vs removing it?
Kanye West Makes Debut at Paris Fashion Week
Just kidding! April fools! He just came out on stage to make a guest appearance.
But sadly, I am not just kidding. I also don’t know how I feel about his debut. Check out the images below. What are your thoughts? Should celebrities use their name to come out with fashion labels? Sean Colmbs has done it with his Sean John line (shouldn’t it be Sean Colmbs?). Who’s to say that Kanye can’t do the same either? Well, apparently, no one can tell him what he can’t and can do. Money buys everything - for better or worse (except happiness of course). Shouldn’t there be some kind of prerequisite to being able to have your line in fashion week, like actual fashion sense and talent?
I mean, let’s put this in perspective for anything else - for instance, mixed martial arts. Just because you think you’re good, doesn’t mean you can step in the ring with the best fighter in the world just because you’re rich.
Anyway, what are your thoughts?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.
Kanye West debuted his womenswear collection at Paris Fashion Week and wore a plain white t-shirt, black Balmain biker jeans, and Air Jordan 6 “Infrared” sneakers.

Karl Lagerfeld for Macys with Coco Rocha
Macy’s behind the scenes look at Karl Lagerfeld’s 45-piece limited-edition collection. Shot on location at Karls studio in Paris.
It’s great to see Karl in action, behind the scenes. The complete simplicity of this shoot really puts their talent front and center.
Video: Travel Through Art - By Christopher Konecki
This wonderful art piece/stop motion like video comes suggested through amazing friend, and photographer, Paul Burlingame.
It shows a story of a painting, and it’s connecting factor in his travels to Paris. Starting out with him painting in San Diego, and ending with the painting in the destination depicted, in Paris, near Montemartre, where his GF lives.
How wonderful is it that art can be a connecting link in a story.
