Mick Jagger: The Photobook

Now, it's no secret that I'm a little teeny-tiny bit obsessed with the rock 'n' roll legend that is Sir Mick Jagger (see the "Jagger shrine" in my bedroom for proof) So, naturally, as soon as I heard there was going to be a book filled with photographs of him, spanning his near five-decade career, I HAD to have it.

But Mick Jagger: The Photobook does more than simply document Jagger's swagger and style, from the '60s right through to the present day. In fact, this book also shows the changes and advancements in photography during this time, as well as showcasing the many different photographic styles adopted by the countless noted photographers who have captured Jagger over the years. 

Featuring work by Cecil Beaton, Karl Lagerfeld, Annie Leibovitz, Andy Warhol and Peter Lindbergh (to name just a few!) This book isn't just a must-have for anyone nearly as obsessed with Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones as I am, but for anyone who's at all interested in the wondrous world of portrait photography.

Fashion Icons Vs Superheroes.

It's the age-old fable, the story your mother wouldn't dare tell you before bed, it's the tale of the eternal battle of the Fashion Icon Vs the Fictional Superhero.

You have no idea what i'm on about, right? Let me fill you in...

In celebration of the 75th birthday of DC Comics, DC have collaborated with our fave French store, Colette and a range of designers, bringing you all manners of superhero-ey fashion. And no, we're not talking about lycra all-in-ones and underwear on the outside, but rather swish bow-ties ('The Joker' by Alexis Mabille), hooker-like thigh high boots ('Catwoman' by Roger Vivier) and gorgeous golden jewelled headbands ('Wonderwoman' by Maison Michel).

OH! and let's not forget these babies:

Our absolute faves from the Colette x DC Comics collection have got to be these 'Green Lantern' jewelled fingerless gloves by the genius that is Karl Lagerfeld.

We don't care if it's a million degrees outside, we'd wear these everyday, whilst probably running around pretending we really were superheroes when nobody was looking...
