Swarovski presents 'Anna vs Anna' film



This video is pretty spesh and we have the same name so win win. The gorgeous clothes are from the Rodarte archives customised with crystals from Swarovki Elements.

'Anna vs. Anna' is the latest avant garde film from acclaimed director and photographer Barnaby Roper, created exclusively for Swarovski.

Staring model Anna Jagodzinska, the film showcases a selection of exquisite pieces, selected by stylist Keegan Singh.

Inspired by the supernatural, the film demonstrates two sides of Anna's character, trasporting the viewer magically from shadow to brilliant light.

The film offers a unique experience, allowing the viewer to manipulate and interact with the imagery in 360 degrees.'

To use the 360 experience click on the lick below and chose which direction to go in by hovering the mouse over the screen.

Eternal Style



“New year, new me” is probably the phrase you hear the most in January. So in theory our style evolves every year but what will we look like 20, 30, 40 years down the line?
I’ve always been fascinated by elderly people who don’t take the safe route when it comes to growing old. Who are just as adventurous with their style in their 60's/70's/80's+ as they were in their early 20's ad 30's. People like...


CATHERINE BABA (no-one is really sure of her age but her myspace says she's 75):



VIVIENNE WESTWOOD (age 69):


ANNA PIAGGI (age 79):


IRIS APFEL (aged 90):




Im so glad that there's now a blog documenting such awesome style. Check out Advanced Style. When I get older I want to be just like these ladies.


And I'll leave you with some of my favourite shoots with slightly more mature models from Schon and Dazed and Confused magazines.
