What real people look like - Naked?

Ever wonder what the person seated next to you on the train looks like - naked? How about that suave-looking medic who attended to you during your last visit to the doctor's?
Photographer Sebastian Kempa 's latest project, "Project Naked People", features 30 (and counting) individuals before and after being in their second skin - clothes.



Marina (Student), Harald (Medic), Aileen (Student), are the models for this project.




The default page will show you what these people look like clothed in their normal days, and when you put your mouse over, their real skin will surface.

The experiment is one amazing showcase of things you thought you knew, but in reality, these things are not really what they seemed like.

Emmy 2009 + Sydney Int'l Food Festival

Sorry we've been spending too much time on the night race and chowing down ketuput with rendang that you might have felt neglected.

So much had happened over the past few days, with the 2009 Emmy coinciding with our Muslim festival, I had no choice but to be glued to the red carpet show on E! We saw a bunch of gorgeous ladies clad in nude-white hues, some hits, and some as always, misses.



Those we love include Drew Barrymore, January Jones, and Olivia Wilde. Sorry Leighton Meester, yours was a complete miss.













Not sure if you had seen the ads for Sydney International Food Festival, you should, if you haven't already.


Food were used to form the flags of the various countries.









I can hear the engines...

Viktor & Rolf Spring RTW 2010 at Paris Fashion Week.






Horsting and Snoeren did a fantastic job on their credit-crunch couture dresses. The marriage of remnants from the masculine tuxedo and layers of (chopped) tulles was not only fabulous in concept but also displayed impeccable execution. The contrast creates an irony of a soft yet defined line-work.

The scenography was designed by their great friend from studio job where Róisín Murphy performed on a pedestal at the back of the runway in a tulle skirt dress that hid her pregnant belly.

Matthew Williamson for H&M collection



The British designer brought his signature vibrant-colored abstract flora prints into the collaboration. Beachy, relax, and peacock-inspired, the collection seemed very well put together with distinct style from the designer, setting apart from previous collaborations by V&R and Stella McCartney. Can't wait for part 2 to be out in May because Daria Werbowy just looks so hot in the yellow silk tunic (not spotted in the part 1 collection)






Matthew Williamson for H&M collection part 1 available via H&M.
