Mario Testino
Being photographed by Mario Testino is possibly a benchmark for celebrity and acknowledgement by the fashion industry. Celebrating a career spanning 30 years, the photographer is well known for his ability to undress and ‘reveal’ the person beneath the clothes. He’s shot everybody from Lady Di, Lady Madonna and Lady Gaga to Queen Kate and last night received another award to mark an impressive point in his history.

The Loney Beast
The Lonely Beast from Chris Judge on Vimeo.
Sometimes it’s up to us to go out and find things. This is a short film about The Lonely Beast on his trek to find others like him. Photographer Cliona O’Flaherty has also found that she now rocks as a cinematographer too. One of her first forays into film, this magic piece is based on the character from the picture book ‘The Lonely Beast’ by Chris Judge.

Where Were You?
Garry O’Neil has been working on putting together a book of photography featuring Dublins youth cultures for the last few years. I’d heard rumours of his search for images of Teddy Boys, punks, mods, rockers, ravers and skaters and now it looks like it’s all about to happen. Alongside the publication Still films are also trying to produce a feature length documentary charting Dublin street style since the 1950s, taking in a scenic route of skinny jeans, winklepickers, flares, platforms and polonecks. The joint project is up at on fundit.ie and with just 6 days left to reach the target, get busy this morning contributing towards a piece of fashion history.

John Stezaker
Just in case anybody is fleeing the shores with St. Patricks snakes, I’d totally recommend catching the last days of the John Stezaker exhibition in the lovely White Chapel Gallery, London. Stezaker has been cutting up old movie images, magazines and postcards since the 70s to create unique works of art, revealing the subversive force of images and imagining a new visual language. The Louis Vuitton Maison on Bond Street is also hosting a display of his work to coincide with the artist retrospective and runs for an extra day until the 19th of March.
