Woodkid inspiration?? LEGITERALLY.

Shin Guards

Could shin guards be the new trend? Rhianna wore the KTZ for Kokon to Zai shin guards for the Super Bowl and there are so many other options. I'm not saying I'm heading to my local Model's anytime soon to pick up some soccer gear, but this is certainly quite the particular style. I guess someone's gotta do it. I also sort of recall Jay making some for his battle against Mila on Project Runway - they were surprisingly very cool and Michael Kors approved, so you know it's good. It's also sort of awesome because Romans used to do it and they totally kicked ass but I'm not sure Paris Hilton really kicks ass. Ever. So, yeah. I'm into it only if you go all the way with the outfit and work it (or if you wear Lucette's embellished stockings, pictured below - LOVE). Katerina Graham with shin guards and a super girly mini dress? Not so much. I need to see these paired with more outfits!

WOWZA

I love it! Catchy, colorful and overall amazing. It's like M.I.A. + Andy Warhol + Jean-Michel Basquiat + Keith Haring + something I can't quite put my finger on but the sped up dancing at 3:12 reminds me of it. 'Nuff said.

Icon

I love Rihanna. Or, I love her stylists I guess... Although I bet her personal style is as sick as whoever styles her music videos. These are a couple photos (via Daily Mail) from her upcoming video for "Rude Boy". It's colorful, it's out-there, it's Keith Haring inspired? It definitely plays along with my recent post about Tribalations, too! I love those shapes - they seem to play and blend seamlessly with the form of her body. I love so many of the visual concepts of Rihanna's music videos, and I'm sure I'll like this one too. Retro-80s-modern-flare. I'm a fan.
