Jean-François Jonvelle

Jean-François Jonvelle






Born in 1943, and later first assistant to Richard Avedon, Jean-Francois Jonvelle worked primarily with and around women, touching on voyeurism and feminism (subjectively of course). Presenting sexuality within the realms of respect and familiarity, his first willing models being his sister, mother and grandmother. Jonvelle shot nothing but natural light, beautiful women in intimate situations (of varying degrees) and maintained a level of distinction which cemented his name in photography well past his expiration date.

Deliciae Vitae





Making out in the movies is a right of passage as a teenager, PERIOD. It’s been done since the beginning of time, and is still a favourite for kids (and grown kids) today. There’s something about it, not sure what, but it’s amazing. It’s the first date jitters, it’s the dark room away from your parents house where you can’t get caught, it’s a chance to get down in public. If you feel as though your formative years have been stunted by the missed opportunity to take a young lady or handsome gent to the movies and hockey tonsils like the bruins, I implore you… go. Make out like kids on heat. Dry hump your companion. I swear on my own grave, you’ll have a ball… or two. New found blog, sex and fashion... gotta love it just a little bit close to the edge, who cares 18+ enter now.

French, Fashionable and generally Fabulous.






So in my opinion there is nothing better than a fashionable French man with a great bit of facial hair, this is why I am  presenting you with the one and only French BABE of the moment,  Jacquemus. Not only a beauty in his own right this 21 year old is already on his 3rd collection called L'usine. The collection revisits the uniform traditionally worn by workers of french factories. A single piece of clothing with a pastel palette and simple cuts. Extraordinary!

Corinne Day










"Something very strange happened to the terminally ill fashion photographer, Corrine Day as she came closer to death.
She discovered glamour. Looking back, it's quite a shocking transformation. Shocking but inevitable at the same time. As Day's life drew to a close, her fashion photographs no longer dealt with the grubby realism of run-down tenements and the strange but fascinating ways of the inhabitants. Most probably she no longer wanted to look at that kind of thing. Almost overnight, rawness was replaced with refinement. It was a natural evolution."
