: Stella McCartney releases her mother's photobook :

"Linda McCartney: Life in Photographs"

they are all from the eyes of Linda Eastman, Stella McCartney's mom

In 1966, when she was a receptionist for Town and Country magazine, Linda Eastman snagged a press pass to a very exclusive promotional event for the Rolling Stones aboard a yacht on the Hudson River; her fresh, candid photographs of the band were far superior to the formal shots made by the band's official photographer, and she had instantly made a name for herself as a top rock 'n' roll photographer. In May 1968, with her portrait of Eric Clapton, she entered the record books as the first female photographer to have her work featured on the cover of Rolling Stone.

in 1967, she went to London to document the 'Swinging Sixties', where she met Paul McCartney at the Bag 'O Nails club and photographed The Beatles during a launch event for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Paul and Linda fell in love, and were married on March 12, 1969. For the next three decades, until her untimely death, she devoted herself to her family, vegetarianism, animal rights, and photography - which deeply influenced Stella in her design career.

this retrospective volume—selected from her archive of over 200,000 images—is produced in close collaboration with Paul McCartney and their children. it is always a great thing to publish the normal life of an 'ordinary' family - showing the cute little things that you won't see often from glam people...

: Fashion Spilt :

People might be too compromising. I simply don't understand why everyone loves everything fashion magazines present. It's time to be critical and stop being fed with all those marketing stories. Maybe I am in the marketing field and totally understand how it works. The whole brand image is the first thing that impresses you. The second thing is the product/service quality that the brand delivers. The benchmarking is very important as it is what you use to 'judge' if the product is good or not - at least to check if they are up to your expectation (manipulated by marketers).

Well, I think these pictures in Italian Vogue looks awful. Undoubtedly, the oil spilt is a big thing. Can it be applied to the fashion photoshoot? Yes. But can it be presented in a more artistic way? Yes. I totally understand the art director might want to arouse readers' attention towards this incident and trigger re-thinking. But if I were the brand that were featured in this shooting, I would definitely complain. Put yourself in their shoes... not gonna feel alright.

Chanel A/W 2010

having worked for various fashion shows, i have a special crave for fashion live photography.

such an interest has drawn my attention to Alfredo Piola,
a Venezuelan photographer who's living in Paris.

it might take a day to do a very well put together magazine fashion shoot but it only takes a second to capture the live happenings on the street (street trend spotting) or during a fashion event.
