Mom's Demand Action launches stunning anti gun campaign

From a European standpoint, the ongoing gun debate in America seems absurd and extremely narrow-minded. Instead of becoming more and more averse towards guns and other weapons, a large part of the American society grasps to their rights of gun posession in light of amok runs and fear of terrorist or criminal attacks.

Great Fashion documentaries to watch: Part 1

In my last "influencers" post, I wrote about Loïc Prigent who is easily the best director of fashion documentaries. Since I focused more on his art of directing and persona in the last piece, I promised to give you an overview of his work in another post. However, I have decided to present to you a broader look on fashion documentaries that showcase different facets of the fashion world. Nevertheless, you can be sure that a great amount of these movies will be directed by Monsieur Prigent.

Just recently, I read a really interesting article on Lenny Cooke over at the New York Times and it looks like his story was turned into a documentary. Cooke was one of America's most interesting and excelling High School Basketball players back in 2001, but became a sad example of what can happen to these kids if they cannot make the jump into a professional league.

John Galliano becomes teacher at Parsons and is rumored to be newdesigner at Elsa Schiaparelli!

Wow it looks like the fashion world has forgiven disgraced fashion designer John Galliano after he has kept a very lowkey profile and has apologized for his anti-semitic remarks 2 years ago in Paris. I hope that his remorse about his actions in the past was honest because the fashion world has been yearning for some of his imagination and larger than life designs.

Coachella is one of the best festivals in the world and basically a hipster's wet dream: New trends, new looks and new bands are introduced here and copied thereafter.
