I met Madame Michèle Lamy at the Rick Owens headquarter on a ridiculously hot day. Models were running in and out of the place as the show was 28 hours ahead and the casting was taking place on that same day. In this chaos, there still seemed to exist a few cube meters of peace and reason located in the little backyard/terrace of the HQ. We discussed about the time when she got her fingers tattooed, the same time back when tattooing hands was still illegal in certain american states. We also chatted about publishing during recession times and the quest of Substance. Then I left, inspired and serene.

I can hardly resist posting everything I have tonight, right awayI But I won’t. Hehe.

Grabbed previous SB star Bastien (un autre corps) and lovely Christell for a quick finger photo on the shopfloor of a packed Paris fashion week Colette. All tattoos by Bastien (touch ups to Christell’s line Scott Campbell). Thanks for the new Jacques.

“I am Mattia Rinaudo. I am Italian and a blank canvas for creativity. I’ve loved tattoo’s since i was young. They attract attention and conversation. They have no specific reason other than coloring my life and bringing beauty. I’ve collected them from friends and my travels around the world including London, Brazil, Italy, South Africa – 5 different artist in total. I got the first tattoo at the age of 16 on my thigh, Chinese symbols, it was the easiest to hide from parents. As my passion grew the tattoos expanded all over my body and I’m nowhere near finished.”

This spectral arm belongs to Rune Willerslev an almost 19 year old from Gallivare a small mining town in northern Sweden. The apparitions are by Johan ‘Piller’ Larsson at inkline.se

Is no one else but LDN’s very own, the loveliest, nicest Saira Hunjan (who, just for the record, was in sang Bleu 0, remember?).
