Band of Outsiders

Band of Outsiders is an Los Angeles fahion label by designer Scott Sternberg. His fall fashion collection is amazing. Both Band of Outsiders and the female collection Boy have incredible stuff and sweet lookbooks. See, their collections are photographed around LA with nothing more than a polaroid.

Here's the men's fahion collection modeled by Jason Schwartzman in Chung King Road:








And here's the Boy women's fahion collection modeled by Marisa Tomei:

Inglourious Basterds

This is not a movie review.

While I liked Inglorious Basterds a lot (and I mean A LOT), I have been skeptical of ultra-violent movies like this one for a while. I used to love them. Just now I have begun thinking about the implications of changing history on a movie and doing it as violently as Tarantino did it.
But that's not the point of this post since this is not a very serious blog.

What I wanted to tell you was that I loved the look of the movie. I especially loved the fashion. I saw the looks and wanted dress like that. I've always loved the look of the 40s, but after Inglorious Basterds I think I understand people like Miriam Parkman of Kafferepet.
Although I liked the look of Diane Kruger, I loooooved the look of Melanie Laurent who played Shoshanna Dreyfus. All in all, even if the movie had had the worst story, the worst photography, the worst dialogues, ugly people, bad direction, no publicity, it would have still done it for me because of the costumes.
