Dressing Up In Daisies

Terry Richardson is an American photographer that is most well known for his provocative and sexual photographs of models, celebrities, fashion, and even himself. He is famous for his risk-taking advertisements, editorial photographs, and fashion photographs. There's something so eye-catching and different about his work that sets him apart from other photographers of today's time. The images that he produces are so raw, and he has this unexplainable ability to bring out a side that is so weird and outrageous in his subjects. I love that whenever I see one of his pictures, I instantly know "Oh, that's a Terry."

He recently collaborated with ultimate artist herself, Lady Gaga. You know that when you pair up two creative geniuses like them, you are bound for spectacular perfection. The last two pictures above are from their book, Lady Gaga X Terry Richardson, and as you can see, Terry catches this rare "behind-the-scenes" side of Gaga that the public hasn't seen before. Shock-value is something that is experimented with by both of them, and it is clearly present in the work they have done together. I need to get over to Barnes & Noble soon to get this!!

I recently spent my Saturday afternoon watching a beautifully captivating documentary about Bill Cunningham, an 82-year-old street fashion photographer for The New York Times.  Prior to viewing this documentary, I had never heard of Bill or any of his amazing work, but after watching this I was disappointed that I had never even heard of this extraordinary man.  Anna Wintour, goddess of the fashion industry, mentioned in a featured interview, "We all get dressed for Bill." This shows the widespread importance and influence that Bill has over the entire fashion industry.

I fell in love Bill Cunningham's inspiring soul as the series of his daily events unfolded on my television screen.  He doesn't care about celebrities, fame, or even social hierarchy; and that's what sets him apart from paparazzi.  All that Bill cares about is the clothes; he is strictly fascinated by fashion.  What I am most in love with about him though, is that he isn't into this 21st century idea of fake, artificial, and cookie-cutter "fashion" that so many people claim to be a part of. He isn't interested in "celebrities and their free dresses", he is purely interested in the excitement and individuality of people who aren't afraid to stand out and make a statement through what they're wearing.  I admire a person that is completely and passionately devoted to what they do with their life; there's never a day where they wake up and don't want to face what the day has in store for them, and Bill is exactly that. The documentary shows that he can barely even hold a conversation with a friend on the street or at a party without-click, click-getting distracted by and running away to- snap, snap-a picture of some beauty that has caught his eye. It's a sign of true passion when you see that he has been riding around New York City on his bike for forty years to capture the evolution of fashion on his old film camera.

I think Bill Cunningham New York is currently On Demand, and I can't express how much I suggest that you watch it. After I bought it, I watched it twice in a span of 24 hours! If any of you have already seen it or watched it after reading this, feel free to comment below!:)

There's something magical about the west coast girls and their incredible ability to look unique and individual, yet without looking like they tried too hard. Living in California myself (west coast represent!!) I know that most girls here have this very effortless way about them that all women should aspire to have.

Before Andy Warhol began creating his famous pop art, he did many lovely shoe ads and magazine covers to make extra cash.

Isn't this a fantastic picture? :)
