Our fabulous Aurelio Costarella’s leather jacket was featured in a fashion shoot for Denmark’s ‘S’ Magazine.
This beautiful shoot was photographed by Enrique Badulescu and inspired by a fusion of discotheque, rainbow, pop lighting and luxe bordello. A Daft Punk, neon coloured show was the result.
His work also appears in ‘Clear Magazine’ in a sharp shoot called Silhouette styled by Zeina Esmail and photographed by Ishi.

This article was composed for a conference I spoke at last Friday.
This feature will discuss how to identify your personal style, dress successfully for business and manage an effective wardrobe. This is also a chance to see some key spring/summer looks for 2008. Then I’ll show you how to transform them from the catwalk to your closet.
Coco Chanel said “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
I say “fashion is what you see on the catwalks, in glossy magazines and in-store. These outlets provide the base to assist you in creating your own personal style”.
