Madonna Human Nature [HQ] 1995

Madonna's Human Nature was what inspired to me to work with vinyl fabrics and I have enjoyed working with those fabrications of vinyl, leather and patent leather. It may be a bitch to sew, since its delicate, it always comes out perfectly!

BeautifulMag Cover Story : Rock Star

Rockstar

EVEN THOUGH THE TERM ROCK STAR IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGER OR PLAYER IN A ROCK BAND, THERE IS ACTUALLY A MUCH BROADER MEANING TO THE WORD. IN FACT, THE TERM ROCK STAR IS NOT SELDOM APPLIED TO PEOPLE WHO STAND OUT IN MANY DIFFERENT FIELDS. MODERN DAY HEROES, TRENDSETTERS, SELF-CONFIDENT IN WHAT THEY DO AND ENLIGHTENING EXAMPLES FOR OTHERS. FRANK LOUIS, CHRISTOPHER UVENIO, RAFAELE RIVERA AND BLUE MICHAEL ARE ALL ROCK STARS IN THEIR OWN TERRITORY. SO WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY JOIN FORCES.

The handsome and talented Rafaele Rivera literally is an emerging rock star. Born in Puerto Rico, he followed dance and voice classes and his first dance single "I Need Someone" (2006) burned up many New York City dance floor. More recently Rafaele has been working with music producers Beppe Savoni/Dinamix, Worren Rigg and Daniel Bagley/RythmDB, completing tracks "Goodbye, Goodbye," "Survive," "Mi Corazon" and "Livin on a Dream" for his upcoming album under SoundGroove Records and Blaze Imprints. If you believe Rafaele has something familiar: it is very well possible you have seen him before. Rafaele has made appearances on the Iyanla talk show and had a role on daytime soap, All My Children. He has recently appeared in major motion picture films such as Sex and the City, The Day After Tomorrow, and Hitch. He is certainly one to watch and these photos prove he's got what it takes to deliver.

Fashion designer Christopher Uvenio is not a complete stranger at BeautifulMag. Already we have seen his amazing creations in a beautiful series by Joseph Sinclair [Dark Angels - The Christopher Uvenio Collection], and Christopher has a history in collaborating with Frank Louis. Christopher Unvenio can look back at 16 years of experience in both designing and illustration for several international fashion houses, such as Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Bob Mackie. Like Rafaele, Christophe’s career also involves TV and film. His creations have appeared several times in Award winning daytime drama The Bold And The Beautiful as well as in Disney film Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion.

Frank Louis has appeared many times on the digital pages of BeautifulMag, most recently with his discovery of the super hot Phil Ductan as well as the strip tease series featuring Chris Campanioni. Always first in line when it comes to trying something new, Frank was immediately intrigued when Christopher Uvenio told him he had designed something very edgy, sexy and rock star-like. Knowing this would require the hand of a master make-up artist, Frank contacted Blue Michael. Playing on the fact Christopher Uvenio carries the cross as a logo, Blue Michael found inspiration in a collection of rosary beads he has collected over the years. Together with dramatic glam make up and the creations of Christopher, it was enough for Frank Louis to shoot a series of portraits of Rafaele that radiates such a sexual rock star image, that you almost hear the music come through the image. The whole series is a perfect example of what happens when great talent comes together. The magic of creating a rock star.  

Rudolpho Valentino and Vaslav Nijinsky - Tango

Films about Valentino: The life of Rudolph Valentino has been filmed a number of times for television and the big screen. The best biopics is Ken Russell's 1977 film, Valentino, in which Valentino is portrayed by Rudolf Nureyev. The film itself is only loosely based on his life.
I love this scene of Rudolf Nureyev played the Screen Icon doing the Tango with another man...
It doesn't mean two gay men, it means, love, passion, life, friendship and brothers. 0ften married, gigolo to so many film actress , Valentino was not just an Icon to Hollywood, but into the Menswear.
When I think of Tango, I think of glamour dark and mysterious collection with an edge and attitude.

Rudolph Valentino is my inspiration when it comes to MENSWEAR

Rudolph Valentino (May 6, 1895 – August 23, 1926) was an Italian actor, and early pop icon. Known as the "Latin Lover", he was one of the most popular international stars of the 1920s, and one of the most recognized stars of the silent film era. He is best known for his work in The Sheik and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. His death at age 31 caused mass hysteria among his female fans, propelling him into icon status.

 However, American men were less impressed, walking out of his movies in disgust. With the Fairbanks type being the epitome of manhood, Valentino was seen as a threat to the All American man. Many men desire to be another Douglas Fairbanks. But Valentino? Men may have wanted to act like Fairbanks, but they copied Valentino's look. A man with perfectly greased-back hair was called a "Vaselino".

Some journalists were still calling his masculinity into question, going on at length about his pomaded hair, his dandyish clothing, his treatment of women, his views on women, and whether he was effeminate or not. Valentino hated these stories and was known to carry the clippings of the newspaper articles around with him and criticize them.

After Valentino challenged the Tribune's anonymous writer to a boxing match, the New York Evening Journal boxing writer, Frank O'Neill, volunteered to fight in his place. Valentino won the bout which took place on the roof of New York's Ambassador Hotel. 

A mourner pictured with the body of Rudolph Valentino at the actor's funeral On August 15, 1926, Valentino collapsed at the Hotel Ambassador in New York City, New York. He was hospitalized at the Polyclinic in New York and an examination showed him to be suffering from appendicitis and gastric ulcers which required an immediate operation. The operation was a success but Valentino's condition had become so aggravated by then that peritonitis set in and spread throughout his body. On August 18 his doctors gave an optimistic prognosis for Valentino and told the media that unless Valentino's condition changed for the worse there was no need for updates.[ However, on August 21 he was stricken with a severe pleuritis relapse that developed rapidly in his left lung due to the actor's weakened condition. The doctors realized that he was going to die, but decided to withhold the prognosis from the actor who believed that his condition would pass. During the early hours of August 23, Valentino was briefly conscious and chatted with his doctors about his future. He fell back into a coma and died a few hours later, at the age of 31.

An estimated 100,000 people lined the streets of New York City to pay their respects at his funeral, handled by the Frank Campbell Funeral Home. The event was a drama itself: Suicides of despondent fans were reported. Windows were smashed as fans tried to get in and an all day riot erupted on August 24. Over 100 Mounted officers and NYPD's Police Reserve was deployed to restore order. A phalanx of officers would line the streets for the remainder of the viewing. The drama inside would not be outdone. Polish Actress Pola Negri, claiming to be Valentino's fiancee, collapsed in hysterics while standing over the coffin, and Campbell's hired four actors to impersonate a Fascist Blackshirt honor guard, which claimed to have been sent by Benito Mussolini. It was later revealed as a planned publicity stunt.[69] Media reports that the body on display in the main salon was not Valentino but a decoy were continually denied by Campbell.

Films about ValentinoThe life of Rudolph Valentino has been filmed a number of times for television and the big screen. One of these biopics is Ken Russell's 1977 film, Valentino, in which Valentino is portrayed by Rudolf Nureyev. The film itself is only loosely based on his life.

Every menswear designers have always inspired Rudolph Valentino from Gucci to Pierre Cardin to Valentino.  Here are several of my Menswear designs from last spring of 2010!
