Araks Yeramyan Makes A Dreamy Fall Lookbook With Susie Bubble, Richard Chai And Other Talent

Araks Yeramyan has created a beautifully creative collective for her ready-to-wear & lingerie line. As a designer, her focus is creating pieces that reflect effortless beauty. That anchor sure comes across with the lookbook campaign that features the creative of model Coco Young, filmmaker Casey Neistat, director Gia Coppola, blogger Susie Bubble, fashion designer Richard Chai and other well-knowns and local superstars. Each individual was given license to put on the lingerie or put it on someone/something else--style the shoot and photograph it however it seemed fit. The end result is dreamy, personalized and a perfect reflection of the collection.

Oeuvres of Outerwear

Burberry Prorsum's Fall 2010 collection last year presented what has come to be known as some of the most flawless pieces of outerwear that has ever been introduced into the fashion community. Namely, that highly coveted unisex shearling aviator jacket that has had editors, models, photographers, and street-wise style subjects drooling in fascination. The reason being that this shearling jacket exhibits all of the most desirable aspects of the ideal outerwear garment: perfect proportion, sleek lines, and just the right amount of edge to push the boundaries of your own sense of style. And when it comes to men's style, pushing boundaries is essential. In our world, outerwear is a reliable source of variation and that certain je ne sais quoi.

Think about it. The typical "stylish" attire for men usually includes something surrounding a button-up shirt, a nice belt, a great pair of trousers, and oxfords. Not bad, but nothing special. Slip on a Burberry trench, a Rick Owens leather jacket, or a Prada duffle coat, however, and all expectations are thrown out the window. Taking such a simple step as adding one more piece makes the world of difference between an "ok" ensemble and its incredibly chic alternative.

New Video From M83: "Echos"

M83’s new video for “Echos” is simple yet beautiful, thanks to its melodic harmonies that are beyond heavenly (in addition to some epically stunning images that will touch your soul). The electro/dream pop act that consists of Anthony Gonzalez recently told Spin that a “very, very, very epic” double album is on the horizon. Gonzales, who moved to L.A. from Antibes, France, also said that those who loved M83 before will “love this album even more.”

He mentioned that the new album will feature Zola Jesus and instrumental pieces from the likes of Beck and the bassist of Nine Inch Nails (interesting, right?). While the release date is still unknown (maybe October), fans can rest assure that M83 is getting ready to release some more majestic musical efforts, with “Echos” as a small taste to satisfy your M83 cravings!
