About.

My photo
Visual Journalism Student/ Photographer/Fashion Blogger. I love finding beauty where others don't, and I believe art can be found almost everywhere. Old and new, we can learn from all, and getting to a place where you can realize that is probably the most freeing a person can feel ever. But basically I love Fashion, and the designers are the artists with visions and their canvas' are us and the world, and I love helping spreading that message. "Ultimately isn't that fashion is about? We're all a bunch of big kids playing dress up." Feel free to e-mail me @ andrewwwhester@gmail.com to talk about anything!

There's One in All of Us.


(picture courtesy of Warner Bros.)

I remember reading "Where the Wild Things Are" when I was in Kindergarten and we would go to the library for our "reading" day when the librarian would read to us and we got to look for books to check out for the week. Never did I think that this book would become picked up and made into a movie and now an influence for a collaborated jewelry line.


Spike Jonze, the Director of "Where the Wild Things Are" The Film is collaborating with line, Opening Ceremony for a few pieces that are a bit 'wild', but the amount that's just right.
With wife Michelle Williams being the Chic chick that she is that I'm pretty sure she also had an influence on the pieces...or at least I hope so!

(pictured above from left to right, Michelle Williams, Matilda Ledger, & Spike Jonze)

ANYWAY!...Here are the pieces (above) Jonze and Opening Ceremony are presenting. Pretty cool if I do say so myself.

Everyone will be Famous for 15 Minutes.


INTERVIEW - SEPTEMBER 2009 Issue


On the Cover : Natalie Portman
Interviewed by Jake Gyllenhaal (LINK)


Chace Crawford has done VMAN before, and Ed Westwick has done Interview before, now it's Chace's turn to do Interview. He's stepping outside of his typical Preppy/Armani style (if those two can even be slashed together as I just did) & slicking back the hair and wearing Prada suits and tattoos. In the spread he talks about Gossip Girl (of course), living with Ed Westwick, his Mom, and most importantly, Footloose. He will taking over the role after winning it from Zac Efron. (Chace is a much better Kevin Bacon than Zac any day.) (LINK)


The issue also focuses in on The September Issue, and what Interview calls "Vintage Wintour".


What I love about Interview is that MY $10 is worth the subscription because they ALWAYS give me what I want in EVERY issue. High Fashion in a World in a current Depressed State of Mind. It gives me motivation. Ahhh.

It's Her world, we're just living in it.


V's September 2009 Issue, which features Lady Gaga, it has plastic removable glasses on the cover. Gaga is wearing a Spring 09 MJ Look on the cover, and the glasses are suppose to be similar to the ones used in his Fall 2009 show!!! If anyone reading this knows me, then they know that I flipped out when I read this online! :-) Can't Wait!


& I NOW feel OBLIGATED to Buy a Fashion's Night Out Tee!


I made the Animation (above) all by myself BTW!!! :-)

Take a Bow.


Well, it's not American VOGUE, but it's just as good, (ITALIAN VOGUE) and the cover is INSANE.
& It's a Couture Supplement Issue!!!


So, Bravo Rhianna!
Take a Bow! HAHA

(Original New Story from NYMag The CUT)

They're Baaaack.


A New Poster for the GOSSIPGIRL Season 3 Premiere was recently released, yes, we're all drooling, OMG.


Apparently I have been in the dark about singer/songwriter CASSIE collaborating with the brand, DIMEPIECE, which makes me very sad because it looks insane...-ly AMAZING.
The prices are very reasonable (STORE LINK), and while looking around the website, there is a blog which features when Celebrities are photographed in the designs.
I should have known that when she shaved half of her head that she was going to blow up again. (Link to where I blogged about her new 'do' earlier this Summer.)


Especially excited about this DimePiece T-shirt I saw with a Drawing of Karl on it! & for ONLY $30?!

STOP TALKING & SHOP!

ATTN : No Zac in the Park? & GG is Chic Again?


ATTN : I'm sure that ALL Fashionistas and Fashionistos alike have heard that Zac will not be presenting in Bryant Park during this upcoming Fashion Week. Instead he will be at the Altman Building, which is apparently a smaller venue that Charlotte Ronson has used in the past. Hopefully Leighton will not be too cramped on the front row! :-) (NYMag The CUT)


Speaking of Leighton Meester...she was spotted this week on the GG set wearing shoes that look to be the exact Opening Cermony shoes designed by Chloe Sevigny. Is this GG's attempt to make Blair more Chloe and less Jackie O. or is this just her on her way to wardrobe? Let's hope for Blair in maybe...Balmain or at least more Opening Ceremony in the future! :-) (Nylon)



&
ZARA released a look book for the A/W 09 trends, and I'm OBSESSED with this jacket. I DO need a NEW winter light/army/conductor jacket! (MensRag)

CALLING ALL "FASHIONISTOS"!


GQ is in need of Fall Interns!!!


Why the EFF am I currently a Full-Time student?!
The Internship is not a paid one, they want your hours of availability in your introductory e-mail, and they are practically throwing you into the magazine on Day 1!!! Ahhh, What I would do for a check of about $20,000 to just go live in NY for the fall and work for GQ while not being paid.


This building (above) is Conde' Nast, which is home to VOGUE, GQ, W, and many more successful magazines...for those of you who didn't know about this Heaven made out of Steel in Downtown NY, now you do!

It looks like model veteran Linda Evangelista is playing dress-up in the NEW issue of V Magazine in a spread where she has looks that, TO ME, look like George Clinton (below) and Glenn Close (3rd photo, right) as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. (4th picture) Odd, yet interesting & inventive none the less.

Overly Religious Quarterbacks, Modern and Fashionable Vampires, and The New & Improved Sonny & Cher. OH MY.


This month, GQ features University of Florida's Quarterback, Tim Tebow in an interview/editorial in which his religious-ness and love for t-shirts and sweats are discussed. Yawn. (GQ) --- & This picture just cracks me up so I had to add it.

Also featured in a pretty big spread focusing on Fall Fashion is Ryan Kwaten from HBO's True Blood. Here are my favorites picks and (pics) from the shoot! (GQ)

& MenStyle has dubbed Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson as this generation's "Sonny and Cher". More than likely from their new collaboration together for the song "Relator". (iTunes) (GQ)

Something Evil Lurking in the Dark.



Michael Jackson is still getting Magazine Covers even after his death.
He has the cover of the GQ SEPTEMBER 2009 issue.
You know what they say about becoming more famous than you were
before you died, after you DO die.
Congrats!
Oh, AND the feature is called "When Michael Was Cool"...
What are they implying?! That the King lost his cool before his death.
More than likely Yesss. Woops.
