Afshin Feiz is a British designer who graduated from the avant gaurd Studio Bercot in Paris. In his earlier years he studied literature at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Since 2004 Afshin Feiz’s fun, flirty and truly exquisite designs have been growing in popularity all over Asia, Europe and North America. I especially love how Afshin Feiz combined light and sophisticated fabrics and shapes with intricate ruffle detailing in his SS09 collection, ‘Sometimes You Just Have To Let Go’. It is romantic and feminine while still complex and engaging. Check out NJAL for more on Afshin Feiz. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!

Ok Gentlemen, for the next couple of posts I’m going to be covering a few legends of style. These men exuded coolness and gave us inspiration even today. I’d like to cover a few of them before we head off to help make choices for your summer wardrobe.
First up we have a near-god-among-men, Steve McQueen. In this photo, we have McQueen showing us the best of summer; bare feet, warm weather, white slacks and t-shirts. Everything about this outfit is simple, but the ease in which it is worn is what makes it so cool. I love it and am now looking for a nice pair of white slacks.

Yes, that’s right. Tom Ford has come out with his own lipstick collection, ‘Private Blend’ Lip Color, and I have to say, the ad campaign looks pretty hot! I mean sure, why Tom Ford lipstick? But then again, why not? We might not need another designer brand of make-up, but I sure know I will welcome it!

So the sun is shining, and I’m in the library supposedly writing an essay – naturally that leads to procrastination. But this time I discovered something pretty cool. A Brazilian artist named Romero Britto, famous for his colourful crayola inspired art work, usually its a bit too crazy for me – multi-coloured kittens or giant flower power apples really aren’t my thing when it comes to art. But when I read that he likes to express his artistic madness onto cars, I was pretty intrigued to find out that one of his latest projects was to inject some acrylic madness onto a Bentley GT Continental. The contrast between this classically cool car and its bold blue and flowery body work look pretty awesome, and he is currently displaying it in a Berlin Gallery before he puts it up for a charity auction later this year — I wonder if they will let you take it for a test drive!?

Picture this: a movie about the beginning of the west coast hip hop scene (death row records) featuring Will Smith as Snoop, Morgan Freeman as Suge Knight and for some reason, Chris Rock as Dr. Dre. The movie is directed by Michael Bay (the guy who does all those explosion guy action movies re: transformers). That movie would be amazing. Here is the music from the trailer:

Natascha Stolle‘s most recent AW10 line is full of interesting patterns and shapes, however I am not as impressed as I was with the the SS10 collection. However what really blew me away was the site design! The half-German, one-quarter Italian and one-quarter Japanese, U.S. native now lives and designs in London. Check out her collections and moreover her amazing site!

Picked up some sick mashups from DJ E this week. Something that I think is really gonna start catching on more and more is mashups/remixes/originals that combine hip hop and dubstep. They’re two genres that honestly should have met earlier. This first mashup is a delicate blend of Mt Eden Dubstep and Wiz Khalifa titled “Say Dubstep”
Mt Eden Dubstep vs. Wiz Khalifa – Say Dubstep
And the second is a nice little blend of DJ E, The XX and Mims titled “Intro Like This”

A couple of us were agreeing that a Masquerade Ball (for all the preconceptions attached to the concept) attracts a wide variety of people. Tickets sold out, but the Champions Hall at the Old Course did not feel filled because of the Old Course’s capacity rules. The attendees were mostly 1st and 2nd years, but one has to remember that there are plenty of successful lowerclassmen events each semester and that the event will require their support if it wants to develop a reputation for the future. There was plenty of enthusiasm for the theme; everyone came masked, and not shabbily either. We were impressed with some of the homemade, authentic, and vintage pieces people wore. The raffle prizes were surprisingly fantastic (and the raffle itself was a great deal – you were entered with your ticket payment and for only one extra pound you could up your chances of winning something good). We might as well point out that for £20 you had a great deal over all, what with plenty of superb vodka and other drinks with your ticket.

First, an apology: At SaintAndre.ws we strive to keep up to date as much as we possibly can. Unfortunately, we all are students and are subject to deadlines and busy periods throughout the year. Rest assured, though, we are back and we’re not going anywhere.
Now, to the fun stuff:
Hope everyone’s break was amazing and all that it could be. A lot of people have for the most part, gotten over the fashion shows (scars healing, friendships mending, hangovers finally susbising etc) but there is one thing thats pretty much universally asked: where can we get the music? Well my friends, the time has come to talk of just that. Below is the music from both FS and DW with direct download links. Enjoy this beautiful ear candy and next time someone tells you St. Andrews doesn’t have a music scene, you show them these.
