SVSV aka Serum Versus Venom

>>This days I was looking for an interesting subject, after all that choosing and filtration I decided to write an article about not so young brand but still futuristic. >>Serum versus Venom also known as SVSV is a Brooklyn, New York based brand owned by David Gensler.The style of clothing they are producing till now has a traditional style with a modern touch.The brand is reinventing the old-school sweater pattern into a more minimalist like pattern. >>They see themselves as an "ANTI MASS AGENDA" brand and they refuse to call a product exclusive if it has been created for mass selling. >>What I liked is that they make the clothes in their own factory, this makes me think about them as an old school fashion house but with modern product with a futuristic approached in the cut and design. >>they had also created collection scissor for collectors and as a start for accessories collection they created bullet chains. >>Their collections are focused on jackets, shirts and hoodies and as you maybe noticed SVSV is a street wear and collector items brand.

My favorite 2 fashion editorials of 2011

After 2 days with no post because of the new year eve I thought it would be nice if I would post my 2 favorite fashion editorials of 2011.but i will keep this post kind of text free. >>The man editorial has that feeling of punk-rock being monochrome and with all that spikes , leather and dark clothes remembers me of the rednecks.On it's name "The Freaks" the editorial is made by photographer: Sølve Sundsbø and Jacob Coupe as model.

>>To keep it the same style the women editorial I choose is For ELLE UK by David Slijper and Agyness Deyn as a model. I like this editorial mainly because I like Agyness's personality and her boyish look.

FASHION ILLUSTRATOR |Beata Szczecinska|

I decided to make once a week a post about a local artist. It could be an illustrator, painter, sculptor or designer just to make peoples know that we have what to be proud about and make the good artists pop out and who knows maybe we will have the privilege to see some interesting and/or unusual collaborations.
So if you know an Romanian artist that should be known just let me know.
But I will start with a foreign artist that catched my attention
Beata Szczecinska is a freelance artist based in Poland
She's working as an ILLUSTRATOR/DESIGNER in London since 2005 when she graduated Academy of Fine Arts from Krakow.
Beata Szczecinska works under her artist pseudonym CITYABYSS
She had done commissioned work for famous magazines as ELLE UK and MUSE MAGAZINE.
Her style reminds me about old-school fashion illustrations combined with modern elements, backgrounds and techniques.

Iris Van Harpen A/W 2011

Iris Van Harpen just amazed me when I saw her Haute couture collection
She created sculptural and graphical dresses made of materials like plastic metal leather and even raffia.
The collection is based on mini dresses but also created full body suits ankle length.
I like how she uses the contrast between the shapes and rhythms.
The dress snake like remembered me of Greek stories about Medusa and her head full of snakes.
Also amazed me the bustier representing and exoskeleton with it's shapes and rhythms created on the model and reshaping her body.

1st POST

So...here comes my first post which will be about me and why I'm starting this blog.
My friends call me "Paperboy",I'm a 16 years old guy from Romania.What else should I tell you about me ... I'm passionate about fashion photography so you will see a lot of photo shoots and maybe a "TRAFFIC OF FASHION EDITORIAL".
'm also interested in fine arts, that's what I'm studying at the moment.
...So i think I can offer a view from another perspective about fashion shows, photo shoot and fashion industry in my country.You also should know that I'm not an
insider in fashion industry but i will do my best to give you fresh reviews photo shoots and interviews.
Hope this sound interesting, if not I belive I can catch your attention with future posts.
