//288/ Photography: Muizenberg Beach

Muizenberg Beach, Cape Town, South Africa

//This is where I grew up and it will always be one of my all-time favourite places. I love that black and white film adds a kind of synthetic antiquity to photographs.

//287/ SS2013RTW: Dolce & Gabbana



Dolce & Gabbana Spring-Summer Ready-To-Wear 2013


//Here are some of my favourite looks from the 80-strong Dolce & Gabbana collection. Despite the fact that there were so many different looks (some I haven't included here, such as the horizontal stripes or the ones with lace), Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana managed to maintain a strong brand identity and that is what I love about Dolce & Gabbana. They consistently re-create the Sicilian woman, either lively in colours and prints or regal in black. One could consider this predictable, but I feel as though they manage to innovate in spite of sticking to the same theme.

//Also, this collection is unapologetically spring.While with some spring-summer collections it is difficult to identify the spring in them, this one is so bright and skimpy and simply unmistakably spring.

//More on the collection on OOOK.

//286/ Streetstyle 044



//The real beauty of these two photographs was lost in the black and white: this girl has fiery red hair which made her look super fierce in a really cool way. Her hair kind of belied her personality...she was in fact really soft-spoken, super shy and somewhat perplexed as to why I would want to photograph her.

//I would love to know if she is really swedish or if Swedish is just a trendy nationality to be at the moment...
