Born Sleepy by J.W. Anderson
J.W. Anderson's menswear collection for next fall is called Born Sleepy, and has big retro vibe with amazing knits, graphic prints, flared pants made out of tech materials and a bright colour palette. I just love the brand's spooky, ironic campaign, shot by Alex Sainsbury, featuring model Oliver Greenall from Elite London.

So, many creatives think that a good model and some expensive clothes are enough for a good story.. Are they? Lissy Elle's work says the opposite. The concept is that counts in the greatest story of your career!! Flying girls with femininity up to the limit, great locations and gravity that never really existed.. How fabulous is that?
Lissy Elle is a young artist from Ontario, Canada, a non glitzy, fashion place, but a place that exports many creative people lately. She is a young photographer with really great talent and a huge, interesting portfolio. I suggest you should see it right now!
