O'Pry goes DSection


December is coming and DSECTION Magazine is celebrating its 1st anniversary with a special cover starring the one and only Sean O'Pry. The #1 male model is wearing a McQueen Spring/Summer 2013 golden patchwork blazer.
Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca photographed the God of Perfection alongside fresh new face Estee Rammant and the result is splendid as you can see. The full editorial will have a lot of iconic shots  that will blow your mind.
Besides having a sublime cover, this edition is also very special because I wrote three articles for it. I'm not gonna tell anything about them because it's a surprise... if you want to know you'll have to buy the magazine that will be available on Monday, December 3rd. So don't forget to pick your copy and give me some feedback on everything. :)

Name: Dino Sabanovic 
Date of birth: 27/10/1992 
 
Where are you from? Bosnia and Herzegovina 
 
How did you start modeling? A photographer from Milan scout me on Internet and then he proposed me to go to an agency


Who is your reference in the fashion industry? I like John Galliano, he's fucking crazy
!
Favorite brand/designer? My fave brand hum... maybe Vans. Honestly I don't know because I'm more into vintage clothes.
How often do you go to the gym? 
Hahaha I never go to the gym!
How’s your nutrition? My nutrion is basically based on beer, toasts, candy and... again beer! Honestly, I don't eat much vegetables.


What do you like the most about you? Honestly I don't know, maybe the fact that I'm an insane person haha 
What was the last dream you remember? My last dream was so freak but I really don't remember the story
Favorite movie? I have a lot of fave movies and it's really hard to choose just one... but I like Tim Burton's movies and Woody Allen's too.

The worst misconception about models? That's a great point, people think that models are just beautiful and dumb, which is a true storybut not everyone is like that. Models are just normal guys and girls, that's it.

Versace's awesomeness reminder

I was chatting with my blogger friend Ruben and he told me about this photographer I never heard of (shame on me!!!) that has shot some fashion shows for Vogue.com. His name is Kevin Tachman and as soon as I realized he photographed Versace Haute-Couture 2012 during Paris Fashion week, I googled  him. What I like the most about Kevin Tachman's pictures is the angle, he always captures movement and details from hidden angles, like if he was sneaking around or something. I'm in total awe and of course I selected these 3 images from the Versace show just to remind ourselves of how amazing Donatella is. It's never too much! #WorshipTheQueen

Let the rain fall down...


I'm not a fan of rainy cloudy days but I have a collection of street-style pictures that I wanted to share with all of you. It's funny to see how fashion people react to raindrops. What I like the most about these kind of days is when I can stay home in my pajamas doing absolutely nothing... ok, maybe reading a book, drinking tea or watching a movie. I totally hate to go out when it's raining... it may seem like a divattitude but I can guarantee it's not. I'm really moody and winter is so not my season. I'm all about sun, beach, heat, tanned skin... in my opinion, people get ugly during winter. Ahaha well, enjoy these amazing shots and have a good weekend.

ODDA/4

ODDA Magazine keeps raising the bar... higher and higher! For the 3rd issue the adorable team of this London-based mag created 4 different stunning covers. They are absolutely amazing, I can't even pick a favorite. Top notch models, iconic shots, artistic sets and ideas... and that's just a sneak peek of what's featured in this issue. Now let me show you the covers...


This first cover is awesome. Well-know model Jon Kortajarena was photographed with a baby tiger by Juan Martin. In my opinion it's a really good shot with lots of intensity. The look in Jon's eyes and the way he holds the tiger like a human baby, the detail of his ring... uh-mazing!!!

A sneak peek of the editorial:

Female model Alexina Graham shot by Nicolas Valois in Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal. Loving the mask, the pose, the dress...

One of my favorite male models Simon Nessman by the lens of Gillian Staples. He was wearing Giorgio Armani and all of the pictures of this editorial are really intimate, spontaneous and genuine. Simon was really natural and the landscape was a beautiful beach in a cloudy day conveying an autumn feel. Love it!!!

Finally, the last cover story: Michaela Kocianova pictured by Juan Martin. She's wearing Emporio Armani and an Anna Dello Russo for H&M earing and dead-bird hat. Love the symmetry of this picture and the contrast of the black dramatic dress with the pink blurry flowers in the background.
