RICK OWENSRick Owens is the unlikely American Fashion Designer; far from the Ralph Lauren's of the world, who's classic sportswear has come to define the wholesome American dream; Owens' vision rather, offers an introspective insight into the darker elements of nature and of man and it is often thought, into Owens himself. 
To the rest of the world Owens strikes a mysterious figure, a slender - softly spoken Californian native; an intellectual no doubt, with working ties to some of the most esteemed models in the world and yet no one embodies the aesthetic of Rick Owens more than the man himself. His trademark long locks and a self perpetuating uniform of black, monotones and shades of Grey, cloaked over white sneakers often draws critical comparisons to that ominous figure of the death: the Grim Reaper.\nAUTHOR CHARLIE O'BRIEN A culture enthusiast with a deeply-held passion for the written word, Charlie O'Brien graduated from Griffith University with a Bachelors in Communication and the dedication to become a professional writer. Charlie worked in high fashion for over six years with esteemed international brands Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss, making him the perfect fit for the fast-paced world of couture literature. He prefers the substance of timeless style over fleeting fashion trends and firmly believes all men look better in suits.When not writing about fashion Charlie can be found indulging his love of cinema, music and an eternal quest to find the greatest sandwich in the world. His most recent masterpiece involved beef cheeks, Swiss cheese and pesto on toasted sourdough.

Issey Miyake is an anomaly in the world of design and of men. The Japanese fashion designer not only shifted social perceptions on clothing, he pioneered the technology that made this shift possible and did so without forgoing the heritage of the craft. A survivor, inventor, philosopher and anthropologist who seeks to question the nature of a universal public as it navigates the modern world whom more importantly would have us questioning it too. 
Issey Miyake, originally named Miyake Kazumaru, was born on April 22, 1938 in Hiroshima, Japan. He rarely discusses his childhood and for good reason - his mother and family were killed when the first atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima when he was only a child. At the age of 10, he also developed a bone-marrow disease and walks with a limp to this day. Ever since this tragedy, Miyake has only ever looked forward preferring to think of things that can be created, not destroyed and that bring beauty and joy. Today, he is renowned for pioneering Japanese design and combining Eastern and Western elements in his craft.

STYLE ICONS Vol 8 Babes Certain creatures possess the primal spark, no matter how many bad tattoos they get or limousines they fall out of. Somehow the more accidental the power, the better. Chloe Sevigny, a fashionista and arthouse muse. One who claims she is not pretty enough” but she still has the bullet proof body of a pole dancer and the innate style of a thousand good looks on The Sartorialist. Like Kate Moss she was universally christened an "IT" girl, but then it was also revealed that she could act. Quite brilliantly. Her mouth looks like it is about to swear. Her eyes are deceptively sleepy. She’s got something. And it is fragile. We want to watch her, dressed as a boy or dressed as a Mormon wife or famously teetering in Balenciaga boots. In a sea of cookie cutter noses her asymmetry looks something like revolutionary and it is the small nuances that feed the myth. And confer class. Freckled Eva Green looks more like a society Bohemian in a painting by Gustav Klimt than a Bond girl, yet she is a bit of both. Her face is ancient and romantic and it’s quite impossible to imagine her sipping a slushie in an LA car park. Or rocking UGG boots. Like Monica Belluci, she embodies European élan and can talk at length about the freedom of art and nude scenes. The French, Italian and Spanish kittens are a bit existential about their beauty, a bit doomed. Penelope Cruz dares to play heroines who are beaten, hunted or haunted, the dark side of the mirror. Bellucci once said “They can forgive your intelligence but they don’t forgive beauty” adding sagely “In the future I’ll be better because beauty can’t be at the centre of everything.” But it is, Monica, and it always will be.

FASHION INDUSTRY BROADCAST Masters of Fashion – Vol 31 Americans In spite of the 200+ years of clothing production evolution in the US, and several challenges posed by outsourcing for cheaper labour supplies, New York has remained America’s fashion capital. Much like the fashion regions that would later develop around production in Italy, within New York an entire community of design, production, distribution, commerce and marketing existed. Skilled workers of Jewish and Italian descent, the giant retailers and department stores, the publishers, the advertising agencies, the design offices, the bohemian trend setting arts scene, the model agencies, and the factories all combined to form an eco-system that has managed to create a lasting American footprint on the world’s fashion walk of fame, giving us fashion titans such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford.

FASHION INDUSTRY BROADCAST MASTERS OF FASHION Vol 35 Heels Part 1 Shoes are much more than mere fashion accessories. On the one hand they are the most sensible elements of any wardrobe. They protect our naked feet from harsh environments and stony grounds. They stabilize our gait, and protect our delicate ankles, knees and hips. But whilst they ground and support us they also caress our feet, elevate our spirits and in the case of high heels they accentuate the butt, arch the back and make us into feline Goddesses of unlimited sexual power. No other fashion item has ever offered us so much.
