The Refreshing Tommy Ton

 London

While browsing through magazines and websites I have come across the name Tommy Ton a few times now and really admire his photography and eye for innovative street style. When I took the time to do some research on him and examine some of his work and browse through his blogs I fell in love with his work even more.

He is a Canadian born fashion photographer who does work for a few different publications and websites such as GQ Magazine and Style.com. He has been in the industry from a very young age he is admired by many and has built a great reputation for himself

What I love most about his work is how he captures pictures of the moment and doesn't always wait for a pose. He is a globe trotter with photographs from various cities from around the world on his blogs which give fashion lovers like myself some worldly inspiration.

Viva la Magazine

Magazines being half the reason I decided to go to school for fashion, I’ve been dreading the demise of print magazines. Of course you can find everything in your magazine on their website or flip through full issues on your tablet, but there’s something special to me about actually flipping through those glossy pages. I swear I’ll be a crazy old lady with a house full of magazines because I’ll never stop collecting or be able to will myself to throw them out (hoarder alert!). So I was delighted when I recently read about the worlds biggest-ever magazine!!

And what a rare topic… ‘The Illuminator’ is a German magazine which is all about LIGHT, “in nature, culture, art, architecture and design”. The magazine measures in at 27 inches tall and 19 inches wide and the first issue came out just weeks ago. It will only be printed twice a year, which makes sense at 52 euros or about 60$ American an issue! Now I can definitely say, that is one magazine I’d like to get my hands on!

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Jump The Military Bandwagon

I am totally loving the whole military craze right now. There is just something sexy about people fighting for freedom for their own country. With Remeberance Day coming up, I thought I would do a little something for our fashionistas out there.


In recent years, women have been filling the role of a soldier in pop culture such as Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin or Demi Moore in G.I. Jane. Even with the new television show, Bomb Girls, it puts a feminine twist on how women are involved with the army. However, keeping it androgynous is key with strong rectangular silhouettes, broad shoulders, and a straight leg trouser.

Yes, camouflage has definitely made its comeback, but I think over the past year the whole military influenced fashion has blossomed into a more sleek and understated version that has a little bit more finesse. The boy-ish cuts of the garments makes people wonder about what curves lie underneath them, and I think a lot to do with being sexy is having some mystery.

What's really cool is the influence is not only changing clothing, but it's also inspiring different accessories as well. So if you don't feel like becoming a complete combat babe, you can opt for a more subtle way by accessorizing your "regular" style with a military trend-driven piece.
