My Top 10 Album Covers
Posted Aug 5, 2011
And do follow me
on
twitter.
1.
Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life: It was one of the first albums I had ever
bought. They had huge platform shoes, colorful dresses, sexy curves and lot of
attitude...
2.
Sophie Ellis Bextor - Trip The Light Fantastic: The make-up on this album cover
was so fascinating that I did some unsuccessful attempts at trying it on my own
face for a theme party. Isn't Sophie always fantastic?
3.
Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday: Whatever Minaj does, it'll always be in my top 10
favourite lists, it's the end of the discussion.
4.
Arielle Dombasle - Diva Latina: Sexy voice, a revealing veil, lace dress and
chic hairdo. Arielle Dombasle is my pin-up girl of recent periods.
5.
Madonna - Bedtime Stories: My baby has a secret... It's my favourite song of all
times from Madonna. And the album artwork is, how Victoria Beckham would put it,
'major'.
6.
Kylie Minogue - Impossible Princess: She was artistic, more underground, cool.
She hadn't discovered the wonders of hot-pants yet and she was dreaming of being
an impossible princess. So were I!
7.
Ajda Pekkan - Superstar: I do not know what kind of music she does yet the
hairdo won my heart. I wish somebody had told her that when they mean 'big
hair', they don't actually mean this.
8.
Jennifer Lopez - On The 6: I was never fooled by the rocks that she's got, I
knew she was always Jenny from the block. Yet in this picture, with the
hot-pants stolen from Kylie Minogue's 'Spinning Around' set, she looks...
simple. The cd cost me a fortune since I had pre-ordered it from the states,
thanks God her love doesn't cost a thing.
9.
Cher - Dark Lady: You know... I HAD to have Cher in this list.
10.
Anthony & The Johnsons - The Crying Light: With a bottle of wine, this is
what relaxes me in late summer nights.

At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following. The brand’s capacity to take the artistic traditions and aesthetic of Italy and make them their own is unsurpassable and highly romantic to fashion lovers. Their idiosyncratic designs, ironic take on classic dress and the brand’s emblematic items have all contributed in making Dolce&Gabbana a household name. For this instalment of our archive lead considerations of what makes up the Dolce&Gabbana DNA we concentrate on maybe one of the strongest statement the designers have made over the years: the corset.
When I was a child, my parents used to take me to a little village, where we would have almond “granita” and collect fresh water form a little drinking fountain, afterwards. This little place is called Scopello and it was time for me to return to my childhood and explore as an adult.
The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…
There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps. Urban Exploration, known also as Urbex or UE, is an (often illegal) activity that explores unseen or unknown sights in the urban environment.
It appears that Ivan Olita’s scouting has led him straight to New York City’s very own scout, a movie location scout to be exact. Nick Carr’s job means that he gets to explore every nook and cranny that NYC has to offer, allowing him to discover the hidden details that many wouldn’t see. Ivan Investigates…
Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The Cannes Film Festival is the epitome of European high glamour on the French Riviera. Sun, surf and…suits. Swide catches three stars who put their best foot forward in Dolce&Gabbana. Gerard Butler, Mathew McConaughey and Zac Efron got suited up to face the onslaught of press photographers that infest every event at Cannes.
Kylie Minogue has had a very very good week indeed. Sparkling brighter than ever at the Cannes Film Festival premier of ‘Holy Motors’, wearing Dolce&Gabbana, and then causing explosive reaction throughout the internet when her new single and video ‘Timebomb’ was dropped today.
