Shred your face

This crazy art project by a French artist Frederique Daubal, is pushing the sensitive debate on the Muslim niquabs that is becoming a huge topic in Europe these days. She shredded some pages from fashion magazines and made them into masks, creating a statement on identity and transformation.

Norwegian Woodies

The Norwegian designer duo Sigve Bø(18) and Lars Sunde(20) established their design company Boe&Sunde in 2009, and a year later the first Woodies were flaunted to the public.

Their frames are hand crafted exclusively from unique pieces of wood. The sunglasses get their individual identity from different types of trees based in specific locations in Norway. Most sunglasses that are made today go through some vigorous and energy demanding manufacturing processes, but the Woodies are donated from mother earth herself and through decades of photosynthesis. Boe&Sunde prides themselves on running a highly ethical standard of manufacturing, avoiding wood from areas with depleting natural resources, and they value the unique quality the frame material possesses.

Cover ME V

Here at Mage we never really cared for V magazine, mediocre at best but we care about their new cover. All the covers, with the exception of Adriana’s, are available in limited edition scratch-off pages in order to reveal a more erotic look for each model.

Now Note the nail polish color matching the stockings….the devil is evidentially in the details…….

a Canadian tuxedo, refined

This three piece, all denim suit is a brave yet approachable look. Not many people can pull off the denim suit without looking, well . . . not so good.  But with tailoring like this and the right attitude, we think this could be a very smart outfit. japanOscar
