"Halters that flip upside-down to become skirts, coats that transform into minidresses, and sarong wraps that sling over the shoulder or around the waist. Yup, that sounds like Eliza Starbuck of Bright Young Things all right. The Brooklyn designer, best known for creating The Uniform Project’s now-iconic little black dress, has partnered with Urban Outfitters on a four-piece capsule collection with more moves than Optimus Prime and Megatron put together..."

This is Amber Jean, a bit of a gypsy spirit. Age 30. Yogini, mother, lover of life and fashion! When she got her dress, she immediately started to experiment and send us pictures of the to many ways she could wear her little black dress. Her wear-a-thon embodies a woman who defies ordinary labels, who [...]

Burning Man Style Challengers: Ladies of DPW

The Hun — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 15:08:36 +0000

Anne-Marie's wearathon was so much fun, we invited some other ladies from the Black Rock City Department of Public Works (DPW) to join in. DPW ladies are a rare breed: we can swing hammers and sew our own clothes and set things on fire and make art. We're proud of our badassery, but (most of us) still like dressing up now and then. After Anne-Marie and I had both left the desert, I still wanted to show off DPW ladies' unique fashion. I asked KT to wrangle a few girls, and they all got together on their day off to do this photo shoot. For a group of tough chicks who've been living in the desert and doing manual labor for two months, you gotta admit, they make it look good. Read more>>

Burning Man Style Challenger: Miranda “Rugburn” Blakely

The Hun — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 04:18:28 +0000

When the Burning Man wearathon first began, it was meant to feature Miranda, aka Rugburn. She works for Burning Man's Department of Public Works. Rugburn's schedule was crazy and we only had the time for a few photo shoots before Anne-Marie stepped in to helm the wearathon--but Rugburn is beautiful and so are the photos, so I'd like to post them here as her own mini wearathon.

I’ve been saving the best for (almost) last… this is one of the most beautiful photo shoots we had during our Burning Man wear-a-thon. These photos were taken atop, and next to, a big pile of burn barrels ready to be carted away. The burn barrels normally provide light and heat to our camps at [...]
