I know, I know, another book - my addiction is getting out of control - I may need to seek professional help soon! Usually I go for large, coffee table tomes but the latest addition to me ever-growing fashion library is a perfectly man-bag sized gem from blogging royalty - Face Hunter. The Sartorialist had a book, and now does the Face Hunter...but if I had only enough space for one on my bowing bookcase, I'd have to opt for Yvan Rodic's sharp observations of innovative personal style;
'Face Hunter travels the globe in search of the most inventive, colourful, freaky, imaginative, gifted, graceful, exquisite, fascinating, unpredictable, gorgeous, refined, delicate, divine, facehuntable, fantabulous, bewitching, edgy, ravishing, chic, winning, alluring, wild, glamorous, voluptuous, radiant and classy.'
'I'm not a social scientist or a journalist...My pictures are not meant to document reality; they are meant to tell you short stories.' FaceHunter
I didn't even realise this image was from Face Hunter until I saw it in the book - one of my favourite images of both Roisin Murphy and this iconic Pugh dress (certainly looks better than when Beyonce tried to Pull-off-a-Pugh!).
This is my favourite shot. Or is it my favourite outfit? Or is the boy just cute? Who knows, but I love that freekin' jacket!
To launch his book Yvan Rodic (aka FaceHunter) is holding a book signing at Foyles, Charing Cross Road on 12th March, at 5pm. BE THERE.

ha ha pull-off-a-Pugh. I am enjoying that phrase. x
Haha so am I...I'm coining it :P
You're totally right, some of these images are so famous in their own right now. Roisin is a perfect point in case. As for the book overload, join the club, I work beside a Taschen so it's an effort not to bankrupt myself every other day.
cool designs

Late to the party I know (I just found your blog! Love it)!
But the lady wearing the Pugh makes me laugh, because she is near (I assume) the work of one of my favorite artists, Richard Serra, & OF COURSE somebody would wear something that is art to a pretentious modern art museum. Those places are great for people watching any day. :)
Keep up the good work!
