A true must-see for all you fashion-photography lovers: ‘Arte e Eleganza’, a black and white photography exposition by Gian Paolo Barbieri. A collection of classic portraits of iconic women, like Audrey Hepburn, Vivianne Westwood and Sophia Loren; an international exhibition, but now displayed in Amsterdam.

Karl Lagerfeld launched together with Italian shoe tycon Diego Della Valle – fashion land calls them the Dynamic Duo – their latest collaboration for Hogan.

If there would be a photographer whose work I would like to see on my bare wall, it would definitely be Rankin. The photographer and co-founder of Dazed & Confused and Another Magazine, is also one of my favorites. Maybe I should make a Top 10 of my favorite photograhers? They are so inspiring!
But sticking to the subject…Rankin has an exposition in Paris at the moment: ‘Eat Me Naked‘.
