Monica introduced him to the sounds of Joan Jett. He never stopped listening.
Just Blazing
“In my opinion every woman should own at least three blazers; one navy, one black and one that is light in both weight and color.
During the fickle spring months, nothing transitions from a day at the office to a night on the town quite like a cream blazer in a romantic cut that can finish off any outfit.
Add masculine energy with a tie and sleek bottoms or keep it feminine by pairing with a blouse and skirt.”

During WWII, Polish-Jewish artist Arthur Szyk’s highly-charged, acidic caricatures of Axis-power leaders in his trademark illuminated manuscript style, reportedly enjoyed more popularity than pin-up girls on the walls of American military bases. With an alleged bounty issued by Hitler on his head, Szyk emigrated to the U.S. in 1940 with the sole assignment of “popularizing the struggle of the British and Polish nations with Nazism in the New World.”

Maurizio Anzeri
Maurizio Anzeri is an Italian artist who turns vintage photographs into canvases. Using different coloured threads, he traces portraits with stitches and transforms ghost like images into eye catching, intricate designs. Anzeri’s elaborate needle-work set against somber backgrounds results in a sharp juxtaposition; and despite the history of both the technique and the images used, he produces work which treads new ground. In doing so, he challenges our attitudes towards the relevance of traditional techniques in contemporary art.

Rick Genest (a.k.a. Rico) is 25-year-old model from Châteauguay, Quebec, Canada, who shot to fame after appearing in Lady Gaga’s video for ‘Born This Way’. Known as Zombie Boy, Genest’s body is covered in skeletal tattoos making him resemble a decomposing corpse.
Prior to January 2011, the self-described ‘punk’ was living on the streets of Montréal taking on an array of odd jobs, including working as a circus freak, to pay for his tattoos. A popular local figure, Genest had over 20,000 fans on his Facebook page where Nicola Formichetti, Thierry Mugler’s new creative director and Gaga’s stylist, first found him.
Now serving as Formichetti’s muse, Rico has become the face of Mugler’s fall/winter 2011 line and is enjoying a new found career as a model. Genest has been featured in the spring/summer 2011 edition of Vogue Hommes Japan and can currently been seen in an editorial for nightlife.ca (seen here) photographed by Raphaël Ouellet.
Genest is entirely tattooed from the waist up but says he is not done yet, he wants to extend his body art down his legs and recently had his tongue slit to make him look like a reptile.
