Roberto Cavalli has a new Autobiography...'Just Me!'

Book: Just Me!

Photo By Courtesy Photo

Talk about ICON status! My favorite fashion designer, Roberto Cavalli, is finally finished with his autobiography called Just Me! {which took four years to write}.

I remember doing a report on Cavalli when I was in fashion school, which is when my love affair began, he is truly awesome.

This is going to be a refresher..a great detailed story from the artist himself. I like to get in the mind of creative geniuses and learn priceless thoughts. 

Just Me! was launched at a press conference in Milan {yesterday} by the Mayor of Florence {Matteo Renzi}...this is a BIG deal!

Looking forward to purchasing my copy as sooon as it becomes available in the US!

Lady Gaga covers 4 covers for V Magazine {Fall Issue}

Lady Gaga is on four covers of V Magazine's Fall 2013 issue. I'm not sure if it's the September issue, but her new album ArtPop comes out in September {though another source is reporting Nov.}so she has perfect timing, again! Lady Gaga is back, or should I say 'strikes back' at the scene with a new look... actually we never know which one will stick..its Gaga.  

I like her different looks for the covers, in which she almost looks unrecognizable. It's a more toned down Gaga {I like over-the-top Gaga too}. The shots were taken by Inez &Vinoodh Check out all covers below!

Azealia Banks shares her thoughts on the Fashion Industry

Interesting news going on in the fashion industry. Here is a great article and discussion piece:  Hip Hop artist on the rise, Azealia Banks, feels that the fashion industry eats up new artist and spits them out for the next {I'm paraphrasing here...a little strong lol}.

Photo: Azealia Banks {Facebook}

via Fashionista:

“I think that too much fashion attention as an artist can actually smother you, and it can actually really, really distract form your music,” the rapper said. “I almost got there with it where…I was this fashion darling. And I was putting out records and the only record anyone would listen to was ’212,’ that was the only Azealia Banks record people would listen to.”Full story..

Honestly artist should never allow another industry or situation to outshine the very reason they hit their certain platform.  You got to roll with the punches too, because the fashion industry can be brutal...for real.

I'm glad AB voiced her thoughts.  Other music artist take heed!

Oh! and here is some new music from Ms. Banks
