Kuroshio Sea

One of the most stunning videos I’ve seen. Although it makes me sad to see such beautiful creatures in a man made environment. They should be out in the ocean, where they belong…

A paper-thin, flexible screen: the future of print media? I certainly hope so…

Coincidentally, in the same week of the book’s release, Rio de Janeiro was chosen the host of the 2016 Olympics. Brazilians must be proud.

A jewelry line focused on masterpieces you can wear.

Published: The Fashion Spot

Sisters Aimeé and Katia Suero are not new to the fashion scene, especially after holding a repertoire that contains stints at Óscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, Simón Alcántara and Edmundo Castillo. But back in 2006, the duo decided to branch out and spring anew to invent jewelry on their own. Milla Concepts was then born out of sisterly love and a background that proves to be a perfect fit. Aimeé Suero studied at the Altos de Chavón School of Design, a well-known institution in the Dominican Republic affiliated with Parsons. Aimeé handcrafts the pieces, while Katia Suero bestows her marketing expertise to promote the brand.

The result of their collaboration consists of three collections aptly named Princess, Chains and One of a Kind. Their seemingly bricolage approach to conceiving their impressive necklaces for the One of a Kind collection, for example, is in reality a meticulously orchestrated design. Each necklace features a distinct color palette, varying slightly in form, but all echoing an almost Fulani tribal aesthetic. Their other collections include über-cool plastic chain necklaces and delicate designs – all with a defiantly feminine mystique. The pieces are made of luxurious materials such as silk, nylon, semi-precious stones and Argentinean silver.

Milla Concepts centralizes on handcrafted creations that are truly masterpieces for your neck. The Suero’s believe in timeless, wearable art. That’s what drives their design process, culminating in intricate pieces that are meant for today, tomorrow, and forever.

Following several intensely controversial spreads, most recently featuring a pregnant model smoking, Carine Roitfeld once again styled a polemical editorial for French Vogue by showing Lara Stone in blackface makeup. Yes, a white model was painted black.

Photographed by Steven Klein, the October issue celebrates supermodels and showcases Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer and Eva Herzigova among others. Interestingly, no black models were present in the rag except for the 14-page spread of a “black” Lara…

Leave it to Carine Roitfeld to sourly draw attention towards a fashion glossy.

I just wanted to share some of my all-time favorite songs for this first ever Weekly Playlist. I’ll post a variety of songs specially curated for TSOL readers pretty soon. Stay tuned!
