Is it EVA a Wise comment?

I read an article in the Observer Magazine, 'Here's one I made earlier', an article on the 'fashion' of celebrities' children being a smaller version of themselves.

For my last group photography project, we looked into role reversal for the theme, which you guys can see here, so it was quite an interesting read as the subject is one which I am always questioning.

However, when I read said article, I felt dissappointed by the journalist. The writer of the article, Eva Wiseman seemed to be promoting this idea, '... dressed in mini versions of their parents' signature costumes, really make the sartorial heart go boom' it may well have just be my own attitude when I approached the article, as I don't believe in having the kids as a 'trend' or as a 'fashion' statement, OK, if the children want to express themselves through their clothing, and the choices are appropriate for their age, then yes im all for this, but to have them dressing exactly like their parents, isn't this defeating the idea of letting your children have their individuality?

Then Wiseman began to regain my confidence, 'Then one bright morning...' talking of Jordan's 'Sickest Stunt', that of dressing Princess as Jordon, dressing her as Katie Price would have been enough but Jordon?? come on Katie, don't you have an award for Best Mother or something??? But my confidence was premature, yes I agree with Wiseman that 'It was an explosion of postmodernity' but then she goes on to say it was a week of good news?!? Good news? I do agree with the statement that 'they are mocking up the next OK! generation', but she doesn't further this with any negative opinion. Maybe I read it wrong, maybe it was an article just discussing the concept and not really questioning wether it's right or wrong. I don't know, but I know my own opinion on'The dressed-up kids, with their scaled-down accessories and tiny little shoes, providing more room for the star to sparkle'.

What do you guys reckon?

Hunted the Observer...

So who took my advice and bought the new look 'Observer' at the weekend????

I bought myself it to check out the facehunter one page column, and to be honest It wasn't really what I was expecting. Nowadays, when considering the media we have at our fingertips, we can see images really quickly, and face hunters column only really offered what Yvan (the facehunter) already offers on his blog. I know I have written before on here in the past that seeing something through the internet isn't as good as flicking through a magazine, with all the tactile things occur when reading a magazine, but I just was expecting a little more than facehunter putting his images from the net (as it states at the bottom of the one page column if you want to comment on the images, visit his blog) and literally planting them onto a page in the observer magazine.

It might sound a little dim also as I don't really know what I wanted to see, but it just wasn't this.

I still love the concept though of facehunter and his blog is amazing, and the styles featured in the Observer mag were lovely to look at, especially, the image taken of Eva, a fashion buyer form Oslo, Stockholm. The colours in the image are stunning and I love her style. (I would show you a picture and I have followed the link from the magazine to 'comment on the images' but no luck, sorry guys)

O and not forgetting a quickie on the rest of the 'new look' paper, it is still mahussive! Which is a downer, but I love the section 'The New Review', and fantastically, this sundays had an article on 'The 10 best fashion Bloggers' showing of course, Tavi Gevinson, Susanna Lau, Gabi Gregg and Scott Schuman (not mine yet, give it another couple of years I hope :) and another new part I loved in the back part of this section of the whole newspaper, stating random facts, is the culture maps which highlights things like, box office hits in Aberdeen for instance, or most tracks listened to on Spotify last week.




As for spending £2 next week on the newspaper for mainly the facehunter section, im not too sure....
