Black #10: The Girls & The Jewelry

The rest of Black's tenth issue is equally fab. 

The Waiting Comes In Waves

I so love the editorial of Kim Noorda. The colours are simply gorgeous and the juxtaposition of fabrics is great (tule, cashmere, silk, either). And those shoes are to die for - the brown leather stops them being too bondage.

Im 99.9% sure the jacket on the left is a Rick Owens - I would give my first born for one of his leather jackets. Its also nice to see those embellished Gucci pants from their now iconic (and much referenced/copied) Fall 08 collection.

Ps: Does Noorda make anyone else seriously want to get a messy bob? Or is it just me?

Karen Walker Jewelry

Love these ads, so stunning and quirky. The nostalgia of the ornament makes the jewelry even more special - gives it a sense of tradition and an heirloom quality.

Deadly Ponies Precious

Love that the amazingly talented Deadly Ponies do jewelry now. I've been semi-obsessed with their creamy flower pieces ever since I saw one at Superette when they first came out. There is something stunningly aged and primal about them (very different to typical flower based jewelry). Also, as I have also been obsessed with the solid fragility of bell jars my whole life, I love this shot; so evocative and shrine-like.

Black #10: The Boys

The menswear editorials in the latest Black magazine blew my mind. Completely and totally loved them (way more than the womens' for once). Incredibly  grungy, sexy and semi androgynous. I would so wear what they are. Stunning models - different to the usual models you see around (ripped all american beefcakes or skinny little slips of boys with better pouts than the girls).

Nineteen93

This is undoubtably one of the best eds I have seen anywhere in a long time. Everything is just insanely stunning; rich contrast of the lighting, amazing grungy clothes - paired with nailpolish. All the looks have a sexy, worn in and rumpled quality (morning after much?). And there's a shit load of my favorites like Stolen Girlfriends Club, Friedrich Gray, Ksubi and Chronicles of Never - most of it supplied by the heavenly store that is Black Box. And I love the long haired guy - I have a total soft spot for guys with long hair.

Stay Away From Being Maybe

Love the roughed up and layered white shirts here (I've got them on the brain, we are studying/designing them at uni at the mo). Super hot waistcoats, and love love a guy in a fur jacket. The v successful Levi Clarke is awesome in this. Such a different (and quite uniquely kiwi look).

Black Issue 10: Cover Teaser

The fantastic Black Magazine have put the male version of their Issue Ten cover up on their blog. I love this... Red plaid, limited colour, side lighting. And I'm a sucker for long hair on males.
