Ryan Prado Photography

Ryan Prado produces striking fashion photography. Setting up surreal fantasies with bold compositions and sublime tones makes Prado's work one to watch for the future. The subjects are whimsical in theme, yet they still act as autobiographical works according to the creator. You can see influences of Ritts, LaChapelle, Bourdin and even Hockney submerged in the imagery. Top notch!

Loungefly=Supafly




Predictable headline, but fashion accessories line Loungefly make eye popping products for everyone. Street yet inexplicably cute bordering on deranged, the LA label approaches design in an invigorating way. Materials like denim and appliqué methods are combined with edgy print graphics, bundled up with juicy colour schemes.

Loungefly are selling rebellion to you, in a post - rebellious corporate age, along with a liberal sprinkling of corking graphics! Look good while you bring down the system, or just pose while you drink your tenth cafe latte in Starbucks sporting the new bag under your arm.

One down side: they don't do international orders to Europe Booooo! Sort it out will you? Admire this retro grey skull and heart tote bag which I want for Christmas. Tasty....

Update: Loungefly will be in the UK soon. They have a distributor and will undoubtedly have British retailers eating out of the palm of their hand within the next 6 months, as I saw the goods in question displayed in all their glory at the January Top Drawer trade show. And in real life, the Loungefly goods are even better than I imagined!
