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!

Refinery29 Reserve x StopTalking,Thanks.



Refinery29 x RESERVE

I was recently contacted by the fantastic people at Global Fashion Blog, Refinery29, to promote their recently launched Reserves site which features exclusive deals and products from designers and boutiques online and in New York and San Francisco, and it is seems to be nothing short of amazing!


With recent deals from Rag & Bone, French Connection, Alexander Wang, and boutiques in New York such as Wink, infamous vintage shop DeacadesTwo.1, and Tenover6, these are deals that cannot be passed up!


Currently, the Summer Hookup deal seems to be attracting my eye at the moment. With picks from Refinery29 Editors, Global and in NY & San Francisco, (Connie Wang, Kristian Laliberte, & Katie Hintz-Zambrano) from Alexander Wang, Jeffrey Campbell, and more...this deal is a must!







Please use my Personal Link to direct to the site to help with a quick login and quick start into looking at the exclusive deals that will change out weekly!!

Gaga Jerky, James Franco shoots a Menswear Daze for ELLE, & Florence Welch is Touring in Gucci.

Gaga Jerky 'on the Edge', James Franco shoots Agyness Deyn as James Dean for ELLE and also sells his body for a good cause.

Lady Gaga has released another video from her ballad filled 'Born This Way'.
"The Edge of Glory"



& Gaga's infamous meat-dress has been turned into jerky to be displayed in the
Rock n' Roll's Hall of Fame. Definitely some 5-Star jerky in my opinion.

"Raw Raw Raw Raw Raw meat..."

Jerky gone 'Gaga'.

Lady Gaga and Cher at the 2010 MTV VMA's.

James Franco shot Agyness Deyn for ELLE JULY 2011 in a Menswear/James Dean inspired shoot.


I am jealous,...to say the least.
Franco also supported amFAR (an AIDS research non-profit) at a Gala/benefit by auctioning off a PERSONAL photo shoot with himself and the winner.
The winning bid went for $17,000!
(Story from the GQ Eye)

***Also spotted speaking with Ke$ha at the event, which is actually more interesting than the price tag on that photo shoot, well to me anyway!

News was recently released that the beauty that is Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine will be wearing Gucci on her Summer 2011 tour. I can't think of anything better.

This trip was a life changing experience for me. It was just so surreal to stand around and take it all in knowing how many artists have come and gone after being inspired by such a beautiful cities. Paris helped me make up my mind on where I would like to live other than my dream of New York. The air, people, lifestyle just exude such a positivity to project the BEAUTIFUL in life.
