Head Porter Summer Vinyl Collection

Richard Kern x Mishka







"To launch its Summer '08 Collection, Mishka will be unveiling a special capsule with internationally recognized photographer and culturally provocative filmmaker & video director Richard Kern. Composed of 4 striking portraits, the collection will offer buyers an intimate glimpse into some of Kern’s most infamous and adored female subjects.

Born in 1954, Richard Kern is a widely acclaimed portrait artist who first came to prominence as a part of the underground cultural explosion in NYC's East Village during the 1980s. Through his erotic films, featuring underground rock icons such as Lydia Lunch, Kembra Pfahler and Henry Rollins, Kern explored a deep interest in the aesthetics of extreme sex, violence and perversion. Often referred to as one of the fathers of Cinema of Transgression, Kern's genius behind the lens led to further work with artists like Sonic Youth, King Missile and Marilyn Manson.

In the 1990s, Kern's focus turned almost exclusively to still photography revolving around glamour, bondage and fetish models. He has since published 9 books of his unique photography including New York City Girls and is a regular contributor to a variety of international publications. Most recently, he also stars in Shot by Kern, a VBS. TV series for VICE Magazine that accompanies him on shoots at his Manhattan Studio."

Wuddup Jiggasets!!!

Herro everyone. Name's Rachel Fashion Junkie.
I'm now officially a new author. I like random things. My style is best described as funky and eclectic. I'm mostly interested in Womenswear Accessories & Clothes...but of course, i'll always keep it fressshh.
FYI, this was the moment Gary told me to join the blog. hahah. Forreal, though!

Bringing some sexiness to dilute all this testosterone hahah. Just kidding, love you guys! I'm a designer-in-the-making, if you will, and most of my posts will be about things that "inspire" me, or I guess just different ways to look at...life? I'm going to inject you all with a small introductory dose of my recent obsessions:

Misshapes
(the book)

I found this book, and was in love. Last year, it was Dirty Dirty Dancing, London club photos, but this year it's all about this book! These are the types of people I love to admire...eccentric, quirky, and most of all FUN.
For all of you who love street fashion & club culture, like me, you need to cop this book!!!



Ethnic Jewelry & Objects
Recently, I've been to quite a few places: London, Hawaii, Vegas, New York City (and upstate), and Indiana (I know...don't ask). BUT I got a lot of inspiration from my

30 hours in Marrakesh, Morocco.



This is super hot. Made from sterling silver.
I also loved London, though.
The true Londoners are sick dressers! Hands down, they have dope style. I especially enjoyed the Tate Modern. Here's some art I fancied.

Agyness Deyn
Why do I heart her?
She's the baddest b*tch on the block, end of story & nuf said.

Til next time...Peace!
