8843618473?profile=originalThese extremely long overdue pictures from my last trip to Musée du Bonbon Haribo are just too tempting not to share with my fashionista friends. If you’re a Haribo fan and happen to be in Southern France, do pay a visit to Haribo’s one-of-a-kind fashion showcase at the sweet museum and feast your eyes on the edible collection made from the signature gummy crocodiles, marshmallows and black licorice wheels. I’m not really a big fan of this 100-year-old German confectionery brand but its creativi

Cheongsams or qipaos (旗袍) are believed to have the most alluring body-hugging silhouette that highlights feminine curves in the best way ever.

To promote “Hong Kong Week 2013@Taipei,” Institute of Textiles & Clothing (the Hong Kong Polytechnic University) a

A comic by BKDSCOMICS

The Legend of Nardo - The Belt, tells of a young man who wanted to become a model, unfortunately he did not meet the criteria - he was too short!

Being the Same is the New Original

I am sure when reading the title of my little rant, (not sure if that will be the case) you are probably thinking, "is this guy bi-polar or what?". Well, both Frédérique and myself have come to the conclusion, that in order to succeed in the Arts today and specifically as a commercial Fashion Photographer, you have to become as homogeneous as skimmed milk.

I have noticed the literal hundreds of pages of fashion spreads that look like they could have been done by the

Sunday Therapy

At some point in our life, we’ve asked ourselves the question “What’s my purpose? What do I want to do with my life?” Heck, my dear friend and SXSW partner in crime Melissa Pierce is making a documentary about it. I was reading Sassy, Savvy Mom’s post, What I Am and What I Am Not. Don Shapiro commented, saying he was very interested in the life experiences of all the women who’d commented there. I discovered that Don is writing a book in which he asks the question:Have you ever followed an inner

My Healthy Mind, Body, Spirit, and Economic Values

My past has helped me to develop a long-term routine when it comes to my creation of a healthy mind, body, spirit, and economic value environment. It has taken quite a few years for me to build this healthy environment because I never had help or advice from others until this year. So I am still learning my ways, especially now that I am on my own for the first time in this HUGE city of Atlanta, GA. I now have the freedom to focus on me and live the way I want to live.My Mind.Every day, I dedica

My Creativity

Is a glass filled half way to the rim half empty of half full? This is a psychological question that questions the way a person may perceive something. I have always had a different view on things and lived outside of my stereotype. I often think about how and why things are created. For instance, what natural resources make plastic; or how can a person watch an entire movie through virtual glasses like the G00 80 inch cinema glasses. A person who is not creative would not think about the "how a
