Video Premiere: Björk - Black Lake

The video for Björk's Vulnicura epos Black Lake has been screening at the MoMA in New York for the last three months. Here it finally is online and honestly we can all go home now. It's the definite breakup song and the visuals are piercing to say the least and magnificent. Shot on Iceland in the highlands it tells a dark story of utter heartbreak. The video is brilliantly directed by Andrew Thomas Huang and goes above and beyond to really hammer the message home. Watching it makes you feel a bit powerless since the only thing you wanna do is stop Björk from hurting. It's hypnotizing to watch the darkness surround her and her Iris van Herpen outfits truly makes her become one with nature. The ending gives a sigh of relief until that moment you realize; where is she going?   

Video Premiere: Goldfrapp - Annabel

Goldfrapp continues to tell Tales of Us. After the absolutely mesmerising Drew the turn has come to Annabel. The story of, as Alison puts it, 'a girl trapped inside the body of a boy' is so cinematic and well told in a most simplistic way. Love the heavenly vocals and a softly strumming guitar - that's all you need really! Based on a novel with the same name telling the story of an intersexed child who is forced to take on a male identity. The search within our inner core for personal truths and how the outcome manifests is something we could spend years discussing over coffee. So many are afraid to look within and find the essence of themselves we have noticed. Hiding behind social constructs is perhaps easier than exploring your own personal identity, but finding it and embracing will set you free forever. That's what the dress in this case represents to us. Allowing someone to see you for who you are instead of hiding in darkness. For a brand new amazing Goldfrapp interview with Nowness click here. Enjoy! Thoughts? 

Carolyn Murphy for Vogue Italia September 2012 by Steven Meisel

We absolutely adore Vogue Italia's creative license when it comes to their all important September issue. Remember last year's stunning Ethel Granger editorial with Stella Tennant? When we saw this year's editorial cover Face The Future we almost spit our coffee out! It's an ode to Julie Masking and the whole masking community! We're terrified and intrigued at the same time! Goregous Carolyn Murphy is superb in these shots by Steven Meisel. WOW! Holy fuck! It's so good and elegant & we love the juxtaposition of luxury country life with the undertone the masks bring to the table. Watch the amazing fashion film below + JULIE at her best. For more masking click here if ya dare! Anna Wintour put Lady GaGa on her September issue as we all know, last year was Kate Moss. Pretty safe names to say the least. That's why we love Italian editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani so much! Bella! Update: And now Channel 4 has a whole masking documentary.
