Happy spring readers! We’re long overdue for a Collection post so I thought I would leave you with one before I embark on the rest of my spring break venturing for the week. It’s definitely shorter than usual, but still packed with pretty pictures. I wanted to kick off this collection post with a comic from one of my favorite sites, A Softer World. Together, they are the perfect combination of beautiful photography and witty thoughts.
Enjoy!
If Karl Lagerfeld were right next to you in the cleaning products aisle, what would you do? What would you say? Would you ask him why he had two models with him? Probably not, wanna know why? Because Karl Lagerfeld can do whatever he wants. So when I tell you next that this staged photo shoot was the first time that Karl has ever stepped into a super market, you probably shouldn’t be too surprised. I mean, when has he ever had a reason to shop for his own groceries, really? When you’re eating like Karl every night, you probably would find yourself in a similar situation.
This photo along with several other photos are featured in a new piece for French Elle showcasing Karl Lagerfeld in a way like you’ve “never seen him before.” Basically he’s photographed in scenarios that would never happen to him in real life such as the grocery shopping or behind the wheel of a car. The fashion designer hasn’t driven a car since he was 18.

I’ve got a little soft spot for couples I see on the street that simply look like they were meant to be together. I think some people find it a little strange, but I think it’s adorable. Do they dress alike on purpose? Are their outfits just a coincidence and that’s how they were drawn to each other? Questioned like a true romantic.
In this new photo series by Spanish photographer, Nacho Rojo, he and his girlfriend try out various costumes that resemble modern day couple stereotypes.
I chose to feature the one above because on a daily basis, you might be able to spot three of these on Capitol Hill.

Model Daria Werbowy is a vision in Maiyet’s S/S 2012 new campaign. I really like the concept of this campaign being so simple especially since recent campaigns have appeared to be overdone in my book and at times a little “too much.” View all of the photos for Maiyet here.
Mila is always part of some of the best photo shoots and editorials. I actually can’t remember seeing one I didn’t like. This one was photographed by Terry Richardson. I need all of these dresses.
To shoot their recent March catalog, the Free People team traveled to Vietnam. I am loving the featured clothes, but more importantly – the incredible shots.
I’m not exactly sure how I feel about her new rendition of Snow White, but I absolute adore Lily for her style. Word on the street is that she’s also dating Zac Efron…he seems like a safe guy ;)
I bet you’ve never actually taken the time to sit around and think about all of your possessions let alone wondered how much space they would take up. Swedish photographer Sannah Kvist had a vision and the results of it are kind of amazing. She asked her participants to gather up all of their belongings, arrange them in a way that was compact, and stand beside it as she photographed them.
This sounds like a time consuming project, but how cool would it be to actually have a photograph of everything that completely belongs to you and is a representation of who you are?

It’s a really strange thing to imagine, but I have always wondered what my world would be like if the super heroes we’ve read about walked among us. New villain in town? Police can’t fly? Hey Spider Man, do your thang. Let’s imagine for a second that the image above was a true depiction of what our lives would be like and Spider Man just happened to be in a crime-stopping slump.
In his new photo series, photographer Benjamin Béchet places some of our favorite pop culture icons in roles that we typically overlook as a society – whether that is being homeless or working in a job that is not at the forefront.

These photographs shot by Henry’s Mama and photographer Rachel Hulin are amusing.

Style blogger Tavi Gevinson and singer Cyndi Lauper are both starring in a new campaign for Uniqlo. These two women are complete opposites age-wise and career wise, but somehow these advertisements just make sense to me. It’s such an interesting collaboration, but unique in that I would have never imagined these two to be put together.

This is one of the coolest shots I’ve ever seen in awhile! The University of Alberta hosted a dodgeball game two weeks ago setting a new world record. The game lasted an hour and included 4,979 people. That’s nutz.

Before the models hit the runway in all of their makeup, casting director Douglas Perrett would like you to know that they are still some of the most gorgeous beings that walk among us. His collection of Polaroids feature some of today’s most successful models in their au natural state and will be published in a book entitled, “Wild Things.” What most people may not know about the modeling industry is that models come into go-sees (auditions in the modeling world) completely fresh faced and have their pictures taken by a casting director. The reason why they are makeup free is so that they can be viewed as a “blank canvas.”
