Fernanda Suarez illustrations [the animal in you]
In an era where people are fascinated by vampires, werewolves and zombies it is sometimes good to remember the childhood stories we were all fond of, like Snow White or the Red Riding Hood. These stories find special meaning in Fernanda Suarez’s illustrations. The beautiful, dark and edgy designs are full of mixed emotions. Usually […]

Luis Toledo, also known as Laprisamata, is an art director and digital artist from Madrid. His wide clientele includes companies such as Warner Music, Heineken, EA Games and others, all impressed by his beautiful digital art.

The rockiest pâtissier in France
The only place where you can actually eat macarons and get a tattoo almost at the same time, opened December last year on no 95 of Rue Saint-Honoré (1st) by Guillaume Sanchez and Adrien Moisson.

Horiyoshi III: the “tattoowear”*
(*LA Times used this term for his clothing line) Horiyoshi the Third is my latest discovery. I found out more about him after reading Editor’s Fashion Week Survival Guide at Vogue’s blog; and more specifically the part where Sarah Mower’s described her airplane outfit.
