UNITED NUDE
The architectural design born from a heartbreak and romantically, a woman's foot is quite a fashion fetishism and a juju spell to create a distinguish form of art.

Lina Plioplyte
Lina Plioplyte is a Lithuanian-born videographer lives in NYC. She is also a very attractive style to be seen in the street of New York. She does directing, filming, editing documentaries and also doing fashion short videos.
She describes her personal style like psychedelic Minnie Mouse altogether with Cindy Lauper. Many inspirations that affect her style, like the era of ’60s and ’80s, glitter-rock artists, Freddie Mercury, Marlene Dietrich, Andy Warhol’s, Courtney Love, Art Deco, album covers, Almost Famous, New York’s extravagant elderly ladies and so much more. Her keywords in style are leopards and sparkles!
She loves vintage for sure but not in NYC because the price seems to be ridiculous. Even she labels New Yorker’s style as too serious, too safe and too much black! She mentions Queens to have the best Salvation Army and Urban Jungle in Bushwick always has some hidden wonders. But for basic ensemble of attire, nothing can compete with American Apparel.
When it comes to favorite designers she picks quirky menswear by Duckie Brown (florsheimbyduckiebrown.com), Mina Stone (minastone.com) with hand-splashed and oh-so-slouchy silk dresses and Iris Loeffler (irisloeffler.com) for marvelous leather jackets and pants.”
Defining a personal style for her is like a journey of trial and error and for her, dressing should be a celebratory ritual, so there is no point of not dressing up every day. “Learn what you like the most and stick with it! That is how you define your personal style. Always have at least three pieces of clothing to make an ensemble, and you will never be boring,” she utters.

In Which We Are In Awe
The Only Son
Cubical design, contrasting color of black and white, unisex apparel and sporty illustrated line are the reflection of Au Ekbutr Udomphol in his brand The Only Son. After graduating from fashion course at the Sydney Institute of Technology, he began a modeling career for the Ksubi denim and later on putting his creative urge into design for the cult brand in 2002. His career in fashion prolonged by designing for Sass & Bide and followed by Tara Subkoff that led him to the city that never sleeps, New York.
After leaving his hometown for almost half of his life, Udomphol opted to go home to Bangkok and designing for his own brand there. In Autumn Winter 2010/11, his first collection launched assorted of men’s, women’s and unisex clothing and accessories. The collection is evocative of the fashion recession yet being true to the current trends. The Only Son itself is the English translation from his name Ekbutr. He likes that it gives a boyish attitude and women could choose the same pieces in the collection as men’s and mix it up.
His jewellery collection for Autumn Winter 2011 is also intriguing with design remind us with letters on the typewriter. The inspiration is derived from 19th century, such as French poet Arthur Rimbaud and writers’ stacks of papers. They are edgy and make a strong statement as jewellery consolidated with thoughtful and smart inspiration. Udomphol’s design recreates art in a special way in which fashion are free to explore creatively. One of his fans is the fashion blogger from London, Susie Bubble.
He elaborates how his experience in the fashion industry so far in a statement, “I learned a lot about the business and commercial side, a process that may not be every designers dream but is a crucial part of the job. So my perspective on the value and quality that goes in each collection and my work ethic have been effected by those experiences. I also gained understanding about both market places.”
For inspiration, Udomphol visits London and other parts of Europe, the fabric fairs and London Fashion Week/Paris Fashion Week. He hopes in the near future to participate in London Fashion week or shoot the look books in the city.
Below are few part of his interview in Dazed Digital with Rachel Walsh.
