Happiness is to be found when in pursuit of it, in the soothed expectation, on the way, not only upon the arrival. Accepting detours, just going the way, which is anyhow not this obvious to anyone.
Thomas Bettinelli



Happiness is just a hairflip away.
Chris Crocker

A NEW CLIP EVERY WEEK HERE

"The way the system works now, you see the clothes, within an hour or so they're online, the world sees them. They don't get to a store for six months. The next week, young celebrity girls are wearing them on red carpets. They're in every magazine. The customer is bored with those clothes by the time they get to the store. They're overexposed, you're tired of them, they've lost their freshness".
Tom Ford

Bonus : the interview

Interview :
Ernesto : As a child...
Tomek : I was a normal boy, I knew nothing about the fashion industry and I wasn't interested in it.
Ernesto : And now...
Tomek : It's funny to see a magazine featuring a friend of mine. And voilà, I love witnessing their success !
Ernesto : What makes a supermodel ?
Tomek : Luck ! A whole lotta work and definitely a good agent !
Ernesto : And you are...
Tomek : Way lucky.
Ernesto : Who would you like to walk for ?
Tomek : Karl Lagerfeld.
Ernesto : A model to take to an island.
Tomek : Three actually : Anja Rubik, Jac Jagaciak and Adriana Lima.
Ernesto : Your favorite movie.
Tomek : "A walk to remember".
Ernesto : You've been told you look like...
Tomek : Simon Nessman. Almost half of the people I know told me so.
Ernesto : Strangest outfits you had to wear.
Tomek : Paweł Fabjański shot me in a war & sports-themed edit. Full soccer attire with a camouflage cap looked weird. I also realized Asian designers often create extravagant clothes.
Ernesto : Your fash icon.
Tomek : Lady Gaga.
Ernesto : What about Spain ?
Tomek : Is there a trick ? I don't know many people in this country. Only some pretty girls.
Ernesto : A beauty secret ?
Tomek : Nothing special for my face or my body. And I can eat as I like, my weight doesn't change. Best thing is a good night's sleep before a shoot. Besides, I loves sleeping.
Ernesto : Only in your home town.
Tomek : Pierogi and bigas stew. This is food, you can google it.
Ernesto : Biggest asset...
Tomek : My eyes and this mole near my nose.
Ernesto : Would you cook us something ?
Tomek : Sure ! I'd love to. Especially seafood.
Ernesto : If you weren't a model...
Tomek : I would be a sportsman.
Ernesto : Best phrase from a stylst.
Tomek : "You are perfect, I love you ! "
Ernesto : An excuse to get dressed up.
Tomek : A beautiful girl... from Brazil, for instance.
Ernesto : Your fave picture of you.
Tomek : The photos shot by Marcelo Capizzano for this issue !
Ernesto : What did you find out ?
Tomek : This Summer is about color-blocking. And scantily-clad bods everywhere.
