"Couture/Sculpture: Azzedine Alaïa in the History of Fashion" at the Galleria Borghese during AltaRoma July 2015. Text & photos by Glenn Belverio

Dear Shaded Viewers,

My first exposure to Azzedine Alaïa occurred when I was nothing more than a piccolo bambino back in the 1980s. My babysitter would park my stroller in a corner of the Michael Todd Room at Palladium and leave me with a book of energetic and whimsical Jean-Paul Goude photos to while away the time. There was Alaïa, the diminutive designer from Tunisia, popping out of a stack of boxes from his fashion boutique or pulling the ties of a corset as he rode one of his models like a jockey on an Arabian stallion.

GMC's Sharp American short film directed by Arnaud Boutin NVU starring Michael Bastian

“The Sharp American,” a new film directed by Arnaud Boutin. Featuring Bastian along with musician Twin Shadow and photographer Michael Avedon, the film explores the GMC articulation of precision, attention to detail and craftsmanship across fashion, music and photography. The film was inspired by GMC’s recent Precision advertising campaign, a trilogy of ads that includes a cameo from Bastian in the third installment, entitled “Sharp,” exploring the parallels between impeccable dressing and the precise features in a GMC Yukon Denali.

SHOWstudio The White and Angel Interviews Alexander McQueen

Dear Shaded Viewers,

In 1998, shortly after showing his A/W 98 Joan collection, a young Lee McQueen sat down with Nick Knight's then first assistant, Sølve Sundsbø, to discuss the pair's collaborative relationship and their first project together, a series of images for the Florence Biennale in 1996. Footage from the interview was never released and remained in Knight's archive until now.
