$&MEN DEVELOP BRAINS WHEN THEY HAVE FAILED IN EVERYTHING ELSE:_

I'm packing all the stuff that I made for school over the years into boxes or rolling them up like drawings and things. The car's gonna be full!

I want this guy's legs. Just look, so thin!!! And not just the lower part but the upper part as well. I always find my tighbones to be a bit thick

Haha, looking too gayish fashiony and saying it with the cutest French accent ever, love Yvan!
I know too well about straight guys being misrecognized as gay because of the way they dress. But true, not all gay guys dress well and not all straight guys lack imagination. You just can't tell...

So this Larry chap has a blog right here

')GOOD JOB_+

Okay, let's not get too excited here, but seriously, I like my job :D Well, at least when I actually get people who answer the phone. Most of the time you keep dialling and no one picks up. In a way, and I know it's kind of a stupid comparison, but in a way it's like Chatroulette, you never know who you gonna speak to. At first it started to be annoying when you keep dialling but noone answers, but after my break I decided to draw a bit to pass the time which I enjoyed and makes the waiting a lot more bearable. My colleagues are fun and the overall atmosphere is very relaxed and chill, supervisors are really there to help, it's not at all strict. And they put a lot of trust in you which shows, 'cause you can decide for yourself when you take your 15 minute break, there's no real time at which you can take a pause. So it seems I'll be able to last here for longer than four shifts. And right now I feel so much better, I feel excited and ready to start something, it really has stimulated me and gave me a fresh look on things. Basically, I'm happy :)

Apart from Mr. Slimane, Yvan Rodic aka The Facehunter went to Coachella as well and made a video

$^YVAN RODIC)_

Have to clean the bathroom, want to watch a film both at home as well as at the cinema, need to make some drawings and buy a present for my brother. Plus I want to work on my French. Busy agenda.

Found this interview with Yvan Rodic aka The Facehunter on Dazed Digital

Dazed Digital: So tell me what to do? Should I smile?
Yvan Rodic: I don’t like to tell people to smile, it looks to cheesy. (A nervous laughter escapes me).

DD: Pulling my hands out of my pockets I ask what I should do with them?
Yvan Rodic: Pull out a cigarette and start smoking, it sounds cliché I know, but it’s one of the most relaxed positions from a photographic stance. People are generally at ease when they are smoking.

DD: How long have you been the Face Hunter?
Yvan Rodic: Three and a half years.

DD: Are you sick of taking photos yet?
Yvan Rodic: I could never get sick of it. It changes every day.

DD: What camera do you use?
Yvan Rodic: Canon G10. I like to be inconspicuous. I don’t want a big lens gaining me unwanted attention.

DD: How many cameras do you own?
Yvan Rodic: Originally, I only had one camera (Canon G9) but it broke two weeks ago so I bought this new one.

DD: What do you think of all the fashion blogs saturating the net?
Yvan Rodic: I think it’s great that anybody who has access to the internet can use it as a medium to express their thoughts and opinions. It doesn’t matter whether you are a young fashion-enthusiast, Susie Lau, Bryan Boy or even a 13 year-old girl who has a great knowledge of the fashion world.

DD: Are you referring to Tavi? What do you think of her?
Yvan Rodic: Yes I am. I don’t like her style.

DD: What is your opinion on the The Sartorialist? Do you draw similarities between your respective works?
Yvan Rodic: His style is very classic and more businessy. The subjects of his photos are often editors walking into a fashion show who are wearing very expensive outfits. Whereas I take photos of the people standing outside the show whose outfits weren’t necessarily created by a high-end designer. Often we are at exactly the same shows but we interpret them differently because we are interested in completely different subjects.

DD: Are Paris and Milan the fashion capitals?
Yvan Rodic: Paris and Milan are definitely not the most fashionable places in the world. People think that just because Paris has Paris Fashion Week that it must be the Mecca of fashion. This is not true. Paris is merely a base where the global fashion community meet. The majority of people that I take photos of were from Russia or Sweden or New York but not Paris. Paris fashion is so bland, people like to label it effortless but it’s just boring monotone outfits. Not inspiring at all.

DD: Do you let people see the photos once you take them?
Yvan Rodic: Yes

DD: Do people ever say no?
Yvan Rodic: Of course. But people are always going to say ‘no’, no matter what you are doing.

DD: Where are you from?
Yvan Rodic: I’m still trying to figure that out. No, Switzerland, near the French Alps.

DD: How does the element of travel affect you?
Yvan Rodic: The aspect of travelling means I have lots of different lives. I know people in lots of different countries and I make sure I don’t just befriend ‘expats’, but actually those from the country. You gain a greater understanding and insight into a culture through its people. Where are you from?

DD: Melbourne.
Yvan Rodic: I went there last year, I really like Melbourne fashion. A lot of people just think that Australians are surfers and only wear surfer clothes but the fashion there is quite progressive. Even though the weather is quite warm, people still dress well and not solely for the climate.

DD: So you don’t think climate has a great impact on fashion?
Yvan Rodic: In general, the more North you go the more you'll see conceptual fashion versus the South where sexiness is often confused with style. But this is not an absolute rule. Hot Indonesia and Australia for instance are much more creative in terms of style than cold places like Canada or Norway.

Would you get involved in projects solely to further yourself?

Yvan Rodic: Yes. Working with well known companies opens a lot of doors and allows you to do your own projects further down the line.

The Face Hunter will be travelling the world taking photos for Lacoste, before ending up in São Paulo to photograph the final event in December.

It has to be made clear though that this site is more about style than the clothing. Sometimes the hair of the person photographed can add so much to the clothing he/she wears or just the way the picture is taken. It's not just about the clothes more 'bout personality, personal style

Should be pretty obvious that I love his hair, right? ;)



This guy has a blog but I don't remember what it is called :(





Pelayo from Kate Loves Me. I really dig his style




Always bring une cigarette



Coco Rocha, that you? Don't think so but she definitely looks like her



What if this guy's hair wasn't red?

*&THE FACE HUNTER SHOW_+

For those not familiar with The Face Hunter phenomenon I will explain it to you. The Face Hunter is this French guy who lives in London and takes pictures of random people he sees while walking down the street and of whom he thinks they look cool. So when seeing a cool and hip looking person with great fashion sense he follows that person and asks if he or she minds having his/her picture taken. These pictures he puts on his website for all to see which over the months has led to a nice collection of random people wearing the coolest combination of clothes. His site, but also other sites like Street Peeper, The Sartorialist, Lookbook, and Melbourne Street Fashion, has inspired many designers of today as these sites happen to capture street fashion and fashion culture happening on the street right now. But this guy, The Face Hunter, who's real name is Yvan Rodic by the way, I today found out, also happens to make these videos which he has named The Face Hunter Show. In these videos he meets and mingles with all kinds of interesting, fashionable, and arty types of people which he interviews, these interviews being very fun and loose. Rodic has proofed himself to be a really charismatic presenter and his show is really fun to watch. He has so far been to Mexico City, Stockholm and Moscow to talk to some up-and-coming young minds and to provide a sense of what is happening right now in those cities. In Stockholm, for example, he visited the mind behind the brand Cheap Monday which can be said to have re-invented the skinny jeans and from which I right now happen to wear one. Yay! Here's episode two from Mr. Rodic in Stockholm. I like this a lot. :)
