Like a horseshoe crab coming to shore to find its mate, Anita felt the need to trawl the shore of Venice Beach every 6 months. She would leave a planned dinner, walk out of an art-house film, jump out of a moving vehicle, whenever she felt the calling to get her heels covered in the salty-fresh spray in the Pacific Ocean. Today, Anita had attended the opening party for the new Vogue Los

Ivanov Asen is a Bulgarian dandy. He is known for his refined language and love of leisurely hobbies. His favorite hobby, fox hunting, had ket him interested for many years, that is until he caught the-big-one. Around four years ago on a casual fox hunt, between sartorial blog surfing, Ivanov came across the biggest fox he had ever seen. Its was a majestic thing, larger

I was lucky enough to meet up with backstage photographer Sonny Vandevelde last Sunday in Milan. He had an extra backstage pass to the Vivienne Westwood show, could I say no? OF COURSE NOT! The show was fantastic from backstage, I practically got to touch each piece and see the incredible detail in each one, something that is sorely missing in a catwalk flash

I have been taking a lot of time creating highly detailed images of late. I really miss those early days of the Fake Sartorialist and the speed creation, on the fly, decisions that I made in images. So in an attempt to stimulate the same kind of response I've created a small challenge for myself.I give over my library of images that Sonny Vandevelde took during the A/W 2011 shows to a

Updates have been rather slow over the last couple of months. So I've finally set down some time to clarify what I'll be doing over the next few months, and what you can expect from my work. Firstly, I have received a UNESCO Grant to work on a project (Space Shift) at the Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistolleto so I'll be flying off to Italy mid-June. It's a pretty intense 4 months,

2010 was a busy year for the Fake Sartorialist. With the almost 200 posts there is a lot to see, but posts are often lost through the cracks. So I decided to create a hi-lights of 2010 post. Looking at the website stats, I often get surprised at what the most popular posts end up being.Sometimes my favorite posts get a bit neglected, so I've hi-lighted them here too. Most

Every year Danna would donate some of her time to the local orphanage. She didn't believe in donations, but she did believe in spectacles, so each year she had $10 000 worth of confetti rigged up in the main dining hall. Needless to say that the caretaker takes about a year to clean up the Christmas explosion, and just as he is finished, the contractors come in and start setting up the next

Donatella worked for years in the competitive world of fashion. She once bit off part of Vivienne Westwoods ears for a photo-shoot. Her life was full of drugs and electro-pop beats. After her third visit to the Betty Ford Center Donatella knew that sneaking some coke in the children's visiting room was the lowest she could ever go. So she left early, got half

There once was a satirical fashion illustrator that though it would be an interesting challenge to create 24 images in 24 days. He was happy while he was making that decision and planning for it. He was happy on the first day, and on the second, even all the way up to the 5th. On the 12th day the sleep deprivation began to hit him, that was when his true love said to him: take a break. So he

It was just his normal way back home, he had taken the shortcut many a time before. Today, though, was not a normal day. Each step Chris took sank him deeper into a paper puddle. The sun was shining and birds were flying about and Chris was sinking ever deeper into a puddle that didn't even get his sweatpants wet. For a second he was afraid that someone was trying to mug him for his man-purse.

Amanda was trained in the art of the woods from as early as she could remember. One of her very first memories was of husking out a raccoons fur to make a hat with. Over the years she had collected fox-tails from her uncles, cousins and other close family, creating her prized possession: A Fox-tail Fan. It was so luxurious and thick that many a stranger had tried to buy it off her.

Dorian had always been ahead of the trend curve in the quarry down town. He was the first to wear braces, the first to bring back espadrilles, he even took the bold step from boxers to boxer briefs. He liked being the one that everyone looked to for fashion guidance. Unfortunately one day, Bob down in the stone polishing section, started coming to the quarry wearing his snake leather red

 Like an endangered bird, Antonio weaves through the sequined club. Earlier in the day he picked up a dead pigeon in a square, took its feathers off and created a mask with them. As the clubs lights pulsed through the space he moved around, avoiding the social predators with ease. At one point Perez Hilton was heading straight for him, no one escapes Perez once he fixes

 The Japanese have trained a rare breed of model. Half samurai / half fashion model. They are called 'utsukushii mono' (the beautiful ones). They assume poses that anyone else would find impossible to achieve. Their muscles are so stretched and strong that they can remain in a position for hours at a time. Their ligaments are so flexible that they can reverse natural postures,
