Pallet Homeless Project

A group of college students at Emily Carr University built some tiny houses for the homeless as a school project.

The students built three prototypes and at first local governments weren’t interested in using them. Luckily someone came to their senses and today they are in use by the Vancouver Aboriginal Transformative Justice Society. They are no larger than 64 square feet, provide shelter and a warm place to sleep, and cost less than $1,500 CAD each to build.

Frances Bean Cobain

Hedi Slimane captured Frances Bean Cobain in a way that makes me tingly all over. Being rock royalty cant be easy, but at least she makes it look good. Daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love is revealed. This series also makes me want a tattoo... damn girl


French designer for Yves Saint Laurent from 1997 to 1999, Hedi Slimane has turned to rock photography and became the International Designer of the Year in 2002, and worked for 
Dior Homme (2003-2007)

90 Days One Dream by Kristian Schuller

Although Kristian Schuller was ought to be a fashion designer, skimming the Paris fashion shows alongside his teacher Vivienne Westwood, things turned out differently when he was struck by his passion for fashion photography.

After his initial introduction by Isabella Blow to Condé Nast Publications in London, Kristian has continued working internationally with various fashion magazines and commercial clients. His work has been published in magazines such as Vogue Hellas, Harper’s Bazaar, Stiefelkonig and Vogue Gioiello ever since; and besides Gisele Bündchen, Amber Arbucci and Heidi Klum, Kristian also provided his work to Duran Duran to shape the Astronaut’s album cover.

Colourful, dreamy, surreal and fantastic, Kristian’s style is definitely well recognizable. In the 90 Days One Dream eBook, Kristian travels to the most beautiful places in the world, accompanied by young girls full of dreams. An unusual and exciting challenge for the fashion photographer that inspired an intensive fashion project. The result: A road movie of fantastically staged photo shoots, an adventure that for everyone involved became mainly one thing in the end – a dream.

Cow Nipple Dress

Londoners can hardly be called prudes, but a dress made from 3,000 protruding cow nipples—not yak, as People.co.uk erroneously reported—had Fashion Week attendees clutching at their pearls like disapproving dowagers. Designed by Liverpool-born designer Rachel Freire, who fashioned the nipples into disarmingly genteel rosettes, the floor-length gown has raised the ire of the British public, politicians, and animal-rights groups alike, who have branded it “inappropriate and disturbing,” “absolutely grotesque,” “sickening and repulsive,” and a “runaway freak show,” according to the gossip website.

Pow Wow

These photos were taken at the annual pow wow in Bishop, California, where Native Americans come together from across the US and Canada for a little friendly competition in traditional dancing, singing, and drumming. Their clothing and regalia are all handmade, either by themselves or by family members as gifts. Their wardrobes are also typically handed down within their families—one elder was wearing and dancing in an outfit that was at least 85 years old.
