LANVIN HOMME- LUCAS OSSENDRIJVER.

Another ‘first-to-see’ collection for every men’s fashion week is Lanvin. While many know Alber Elbaz as the successor behind present Lanvin, the designer of men’s ready-to-wear is Lucas Ossendrijver.

Previously, Ossendrijver worked for Dior Homme with Hedi Slimane—Yeah, that collection that everyone raved about. With the success of Dior Homme, he soon joined Lanvin in ’05.

Lanvin Homme has its own identity, like how I think Miu Miu Homme, Burberry or Dries does, it is unique in its own way and you will never mistaken it for a Dunhill or a Zegna.

There is so many things that I need in life; a trench from Burberry, A bag from Hermes, a silk tie from dries but there are too many that I need from Lanvin; Let’s start with the beaded sneakers.

INTERVIEW, PETTER JOHN ANDERSSON.

Hey Petter, introduce yourself...

So, My name is Petter. I’m 20 years old, from Sweden and have been living in London since 2 years back.

How did u get into modeling?

Before I moved to London, I went over and got scouted by a fashion scout, who told me to start modeling, but at that time I wasn’t much into it.When I later moved to London, I got scouted again, with the same guy, and i thought I could try it out.

Any significant work of yours that we might recognize?

You might have seen me in magazine such as ID, Collective Magazine, Mykromagazine, Notion Magazine or Dazed Digital. And soon I’ll be seen in Rodeo, Unwind and Metal Magazine.

Name the (designer) names that you've walked for.

I walked For Gareth Pugh, Jean Pierre Braganza, Andrew Mckenzie, Roen, Aquascutum, and Tiger of Sweden.

Who (a male model) would you compare yourself to?

I wouldn’t compare myself to anyone, as I think I got a quite unique look, But people do say that i look like Russian model Danila Polykov.

What's the highlight of your career so far, most memorable moments?
I probably would say, when i opened up the show for Andrew Mckenzie, during Milan Fashion week.

What are you're future plans and what do you want to achieve from modeling.

I always wanted to go To New York, or Japan, so getting a agency there would probably be my next goal, but it is hard as a "long-haired" model.
Walking for designers like Vivienne Westwood, Issie Miyake and Alexander Mcqueen would also be something id love to do.

INTERVIEW, AYNOUK TAN.

Hey Aynouk, introduce yourself...

I'm a fashion editor in the broadest sense of the word. I mostly write newspapers as well as fashion magazines. The inspiration of my work comes from fashion as a social and cultural phenomena (all things modern, all things at the forefront of contemporary culture). I find it interesting how these cycles translate to clothes- how they reflect our 'zeitgeist'. I'm always on the look out for those artists, creatives, designers but also 'random people' (vagabonds, the baker on the corner, the secretary, farmer- anyone!) who are not afraid to experiment, provoke, stand out: those who question. These brave individuals are the mothers and fathers of the baby called innovation.  

How did you get involve in fashion, any formal education or simply street smarts?

I studied communication. As part of this study I did an internship at the Fashion Institute Arnhem: a prestigious masters for fashion designers. I met a great deal of talented designers (Oscar Suleyman- who now design for Viktor and Rolf, Bas Kosters, Klavers/ Van Engelen, Monique van Heist, Fransisco van Benthum etc.) which I modelled for every now and then. Some of them became close friends. I learned so much talking to them and watching them work. When I finished my education I was asked to write for Dutch fashion magazine BLVD. I developed my skills and interest in fashion from there. 

You kinda made your 'debut' in the webs via the 'infamous' portrait of Jak & Jil's The Watchmen, what are your response to those negative comments.

I must say I did not pay much attention to the image as well as the comments until now. I like Jak and Jil- I think it's very professional and one of the best of it's kind- but I must say it is not my favourite blog. Why? Tommy is all about aesthetics, the newest and the most beautiful- very Paris, Milan. I'm a great fan of humour though and the human side of fashion. why do people dress the way they do? What does it say about their character, their culture and the society we live in? I love pushing boundaries- please be as outrageous as you can be. make a statement, make people think, be bold, be provocative. Fashion contains so much more than just clothes- it tells a great deal about us humans. of course don't loose sight of aesthetics while doing it. but please, don't take yourself to seriously. Arrogance or pretentiousness does not flatter anybody.
Okido, I'm slightly rambling on. Ha. For the reasons names above- especially quote: 'make a statement, make people think, be bold, be provocative-' I loved the fact people reacted so passionate to the Watchmen. positive or negative. It's all about making people tick, making people think. If those 125 people who commented did that in any way I'm a happy cowboy. 

I enjoyed your work, Sandra on the first issue of MykroMag. What's next?

what's next? well. for now I'm really busy with a weekly column I'm writing for one of the biggest- and may I say most intellectual- newspapers of Holland. It is comparable to the International Herald Tribune. The title of the column is 'Fashion according to Aynouk Tan'. The newspaper came up with that! I dress myself every week in a different outfit and describe what I'm wearing. I tell the people something about the history of the clothing or what makes it so special and well, just to educate them in an accessible way about fashion. Next to that I am an editor for the Dutch L'Officiel, I contribute to Mykromag (because I like the product and I love Sonny), I organise fashion events in museums for instance etc. First and foremost though I live and breathe the art of fashion in my way, everyday. By dressing up, dressing down- reliving and recreating. Let's say I’m a professional fashion trooper. that must be taken with a big wink. of course.

Jeanne Lanvin (b. Jeanne-Marie Lanvin, Paris, January 1, 1867–d. Paris, July 6, 1946) was a French fashion designer and the founder of the Lanvin fashion house. One of the most influential designers of the 1920s and '30s, Jeanne Lanvin's skillful use of intricate trimmings, virtuoso embroideries and beaded decorations in clear, light, floral colors became a Lanvin trademark. When Lanvin died in 1946, ownership of the firm was ceded to the designer's daughter, Marguerite di Pietro.

A Designer A Day

When i showed my mom a picture of Karl, a good friend of mine at Chanel pre-fall 09 show, she mistook him for ...

Count Dracula. Does he really? That gave me an idea of a segment i can do on on OSN.You know how (most) bloggers try to sound almighty, squeezing a name (or two) of french people or designers even models and then you go like pi-vo-va-ro-va-ra-va who? Worst, blogs with too many sponsored entry ( The New Paper FastAds is that chu?) and they will end the post with "I would die to have those louboutins" or something similar to that. So if i smack a pair of Gabin pumps to your face,would you dig your own grave?

From the paragraph above,it concludes that i have not taken my medications. Back to idea- Thats when you will skip the post and go to the entry with Britney Spears. It's Britney bitch. Everyone knows Britney.If you don't, you must learn this: Britney Spears does shave and Karl, the person i mentioned earlier is the art director of Juicy Couture. See, you've learnt something new. Bravo.

I hope through this newly introduced segment called A Designer A Day we can all learn something.

:)
