JAMES FRANCO DOES YOUTUBE

James Franco teams up with 7 For All Mankind in artistic youtube installments featuring inspirational films. The latest episode titled Dance of Death for Fall 2012 is a real dark and romantic piece. I love the way 7 is marketing itself and collaborating with other artists to create something new and fun for the consumers.

THIS JUST HAPPENED

That's right, it's time for... THIS-JUST-HAPPENED!

Model Kate Moss tops off the December issue of Vanity Fair... literally.

The Olsen Twins make a three-some with artist Damien Hirst. I heard drugs were involved.

And Mr. Tom Brady himself is taking one for his team by endorsing UGG Australia.

VS GIVES YOU WINGS

 

One of my MOST favorite things is the annual Victorias Secret Fashion Show. All the glitter, feathers, and couture make me feel so proud to be a girl! It's all so beautiful and classy. Such a dream. The most fun is picking out my favorite outfit and model from every show. This year my overall pic is VS Model Candice. Her outfits were quirky, sexy, and this girl can make anything look good.

 

 

For those of you that didn't get to catch the show LIVE... enjoy.

 



 

WELCOME

MANY have asked me to explain why I choose MATTE-CAMP as the name of my future business. It's not all too complicated, really. When I wanted to open my own men's clothing store I sought out the name CAMP through research on 1940's slang. By slang definition, CAMP refers to a well-dressed, effeminate man; to pose in an exaggerated fashion. Instantly I couldn't get this word out of my head. I loved it. It described my target market to a tee. But it still wasn't enough to let this word stand alone.

One day, simply enough, I was painting my nails a matte black. I was curious about the word MATTE, so I looked it up. Well...

A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit.

Perfect. In terms of fashion, it's exactly what my products will stand for. Basically, I'm talented in the area of making something that's not expensive look like a million bucks. We all can't afford to shop all the time, but I sure can make it look like you do. I do it all the time!

So Voila! I fused my two new favorite words together, inspiring MATTE-CAMP. It's been a long process so naturally the direction for the co. has flipped and turned a few times, but it is my pleasure to say that the company will soon be an online young women's clothing site. For now, this blog will be devoted to displaying the lifestyle of what inspires MATTE-CAMP. Everything from art and fashion to cookbooks and random-ness. So please follow, comment, share, post, and visit frequently in order to spread the word and get fashion followers excited for my site, MATTE-CAMP.COM.

love.
