E.P. Cutler has just published an insightful interview with the influential fashion illustrator Piet Paris. 

Certainly inspired by the Dutch artist's well-known female silhouettes (above) and "abstract fashion statements" which have embellished major publications such as Vogue Nippon, W Korea, and Elle, photographer Vandenbrink and stylist Groo decided to present their guest himself as a silhouette,... almost an abstract statement!

  

The results are breathtaking, as you may see here.

On the other hand, if you have any real interest in modern fashion, you should take a look at the complete interview at:

I can still remember the days when "magazines" were all "printed" stuff, and you had to eagerly wait for the new number to be issued or your subscription to arrive. The Internet has changed all that. Now you can get updates of your favorite "e-zines" almost every day!

But even in these days of virtual reality and instant gratification, there's nothing comparable to browsing through the latest number of, say, Vogue in it's printed edition, impeccably published in bright paper and gorgeous pictures. 

That's why the top magazines are still published in the "old fashioned" way, even if they can also be accessed on-line through their websites or blogs.  

And it it classy and chic for a major fashion blog or site to appear in a full fledged printed format, such as the one recently launched by one of my very favorite sites, Mykromag.

It can be ordered at their on-line store.

The debut edition features editorials by Jason Kim, Petrovsky and Ramone, and other artists. Among the stylists we see, of course, the Mykromag team, Sonny Groo and Jean-Paul Paula.

Dressing the part

I'll be referring today to some of my favorite "fashion-bloggers", the ones who write about fashion and style. Often, just as I do in this blog, they promote "male fashion freedom", that is, the liberty for us men to wear items traditionally considered "too feminine" or otherwise "inappropiate" for the gentlemen.

One might wonder, do they actually do as they preach? Do they really go out in high-heels and skirts? What are they wearing as they blog?

These are just a few authors of the many blogs I enjoy:

And well, at this point I guess I't only fair to include a pic of my own style, isn't it?

I'm no model, and the shot is anything but professional, but I think it's not that bad.

I know I'm leaving a lot of people out.

There are many wonderful blogs out there whose authors are also "free-dressers", but not all of them publish their pics or haven't done so recently.

Is there anybody in particular you'd like me to include? I'm sure there are some good blogs I'm even unaware of! Tell me about them!

Do you want to share a photo of yourself? Sure! Send in the pics!
