Born To Resist...

.

Vanessa Teodoro a.k.a. Super Van, works mostly as an illustrator, although advertising and graphic design are also a strong part of her professional life. She especially enjoys getting her hands dirty with street art related projects. Strong colours, witty characters and detailed imagery are used to describe most of her work.

I went to the Eastpak Art Expression by Vanessa Teodoro exhibition opening today and I loved her work, so I hope you guys enjoy the photos. You can visit it also at the Eastpak Store (Bairro Alto) until July 1st.

Vanessa Teodoro a.k.a. Super Van, trabalha principalmente como ilustradora e artista plástica, no entanto, a publicidade e design gráfico fazem uma importante parte do seu know-how e dia-a-dia. Tem um gosto especial por sujar as mãos em projectos relacionados com street art. As cores fortes, as personagens irreverentes e uma linguagem visual muito detalhada, podem descrever grande parte do seu trabalho.

Hoje fui à inauguração da exposição Eastpak Art Expression by Vanessa Teodoro e adorei o que vi, por isso deixo-vos com umas fotos e espero que gostem.

Podem visitar a exposição até dia 1 de Julho na loja da Eastpak no Bairro Alto.

Rick "Zombie Boy" Genest for Rodrigo De La Garza SS2011 LookBook

.

Rick Genest is a Canadian artist and fashion model born in Montreal. He is also known as "Zombie Boy" for being tattooed like a corpse across the majority of his body.

On March 5, 2010, A Facebook fan page was created about Rick's unusual choice of tattoos. This page reached more than 1,516,145 members and ultimately led to his discovery by Lady Gaga's Fashion Director Nicola Formichetti.

.

On January 19, Rick was featured in the new MUGLER Autumn/Winter mens collection, headlining the collection on the brand's website, after his discovery by Creative Director Nicola Formichetti. In fact it was Genest's discovery by Formichetti and then Gaga's urging which actually resulted in the menswear show, something not originally planned. His discovery also influenced Formichetti on the collection itself. The show was accompanied by a video featuring Genest shot by fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco. He later featured alongside Lady Gaga in the fashion show for the women's 2011 Autumn/Winter line.

.

On February 27, 2011, Rick was featured in Lady Gaga's video for "Born This Way", with Lady Gaga wearing makeup to replicate Genest's tattoos. Genest can be seen styled in MUGLER by Formichetti and shot by Mariano Vivanco in the sixth volume of Vogue Hommes Japan, the editorial being titled "Hard To Be Passive". In the Spring/Summer issue of GQ Style (UK) Formichetti and he are interviewed, with Genest shot in MUGLER by Karim Sadli for the editorial.
