ALICE DELLAL
Alice Dellal has taken the fashion world by storm - due to her unique style and her rule-breaking presence. As the new face of Agent Provacateur, Dellal has graced the pages of Paris Vogue and was also featured in a recent MANGO Campaign. With her half shaved head and omnipresent nosering, Dellal filled me in on her favorite photographers (Diane Arbus…), her favorite places to shop (www.fetish.com) as well as her vices (ventolin inhalers et al….).

HUW GWYTHER OF WONDERLAND
Editorial Director and Publisher of Wonderland, Huw Gwyther always wanted to publish a magazine. After studying fashion design at St Martins and landing a gig working with Mario Testino - he knew that magazines were for him. Bridging the gap in the publication world for all things related to contemporary culture and style, Wonderland was created in an attempt to have content that everyone could take something from, and while doing so, target as many people as possible. With an exciting new project on the go titled rollacoaster.tv, Gwyther gave me a sneak peek as to what we can expect from the Dec/Jan publication. Take a look below (YB).

O.H.W.O.W. PRESENTS IT AIN’T FAIR
After last year’s unofficial Art Basel boycott by some of my favorite artists, this year is shaping up to be impressive. Al Moran and Aaron Bondaroff present their second exhibit at their Our House of West of Wynwood space in downtown Miami. Feature all the usual suspects, this looks like its going to be a good one. The exhibit runs from December 2-7.

MIA MORETTI
24 year old DJ Mia Moretti is a resident club fixture on both the NYC and LA scenes - spinning along side pals like Cut Chemist, DJ AM, and Steve Aoki. With her killer beats and awesome stage presence, Moretti knows hot to get a crowd jumping. Recognized for her skills as well as her innovative and progressive sense of style, Moretti and I chatted briefly about her favorite places to shop, the top 3 (unexpected) items every dude should have in their closet, and her in-your-face style. By Yale Breslin.
HARLEY VIERA-NEWTON
At just 20 years old, Harley Viera-Newton is known for both her accomplishments and her incredible sense of personal style. Currently at NYU studying Egyptology, she also lends her DJ skills to weekly parties at Lit and manages to play bass in Lissy Trullie’s band. With a unique sense of style that has taken on a life of its own, I spoke to Harley about what we can expect from her DJ set and what she believes every dude should have in their closet. With recent profiles in top fashion magazines as well as a segment on NylonTV, see what Harley has to say…. after the jump.
A NEW BREED OF MODELS
You know I’m a fan of Adam Kimmel’s deisgns and his past choices for models, and he does it again, but this time using older artists, actors and musicians. Amongst those featured in his lookbook are actor Dennis Hopper (top left) and artists Don Bachardy (top left), Larry Bell (bottom left) and Semina artist, Geroge Herms with his son (bottom right). I love that he uses “real people” for his lookbook.
HERON PRESTON
I’ve been following Heron Preston for a while. His website, Heronpreston.com is rare in a sense that it has always managed to keep me coming back. His blog is almost like a personal journal that I’m actually interested in reading, but he also dishes out some solid advice and documents his thoughts and hustles all through original photos, words and video. Heron moved out to NY from San Francisco to go to Parsons and now works as a Jr. Strategist at Naked Communications. I spoke to Heron about his new project, The Young and The Banging, his love for New York City and his favorite city in the world, Paris. By Kyle Morrison.
