ARE YOU AVANT-GARDE OR DERRIERE?

SPRING/SUMMER 2012

ISSUE 2

ho is the Avant-Garde woman? She is a trend-setter, loyal friend, super brainiac and a true fashionista! She wears what she likes, not what is dictated by celebrities or, ahem, the fashion media. She is a metropolitan woman who practices yoga in the morning and plays Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at night. The Avant-Garde woman is just as comfortable traveling on a G6 as she is grappling with anxious commuters on the subway. Her iPod shuffles between Placebo, Edith Piaf, Metallica, Nina Simone and the Wu-Tang Clan. She is an artist, entrepreneur, investment banker, athlete or lawyer. She easily floats between art parties in Williamsburg to gallery openings at The Met. She is not defined by anyone. The Avant-Garde woman defines herself. Tell me, are you Avant-Garde or Derriere? Warmly,

SPRING/SUMMER 2012

FASHION REPORT

THE RUNWAY BROUGHT US A MIX OF SPORTY AND SEXY WITH Peter Pilottos collection to the very

lady-like feel of Clement Ribeiro. There was also edgy sultry body-conscious infused with Menswear-inspired suiting. This will be a fun season of dressing up for the Avant-Garde woman taking her from downtown to uptown, the dojo to the office and cocktails parties to raves.

GLOW
Conviction brings a silent, indefinable beauty into faces made of the commonest human clay; the devout worshiper at any shrine reflects something of its golden glow, even as the glory of a noble love shines like a sort of light from a womans face. - Honore de Balzac

Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography. - George Eastman
