Day for Night is an emotion. A movie like a poem. A collection that is strong and slightly erotic.

Katy Perry x Colour-changing Dress.

She wasn’t supposed to be the most talked-about person at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala.
At first glance it seemed that she decided to play it safe by wearing what looked like a standard silk-chiffon ball gown.
But then the lights went down and Katy began to glow in her fantastic magical colour-changing dress.
It was the best possible advert for CuteCircuit, a fashion company based in London that designs wearable technology.

As Katy walked down the red carpet all eyes were on the glowing singer, who accessorised with Christian Louboutin shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

She was attending the Costume Institute Gala Benefit to celebrate the opening of the American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Tokio Hotel x Karl Lagerfeld x Vogue ?

Karl,Karl,Karl.

Karl Lagerfeld photographed his fellow-countryman Billy Kaulitz, the lead singer of the punk-rock band Tokio Hotel.
The pictures will be published in the October German version of Vogue, simultaneously with the release of the band’s latest album.

We can't decide if we like it or not. I mean Tokio Hotel is so cheap and Vogue is so chic. But wouldn't we find his androginity brilliant if he wasn't in Tokio Hotel?
