«Russian surrealism, Grigori Rasputi's relationship with the Romanov family and the work of Louise Bourgeois are all at play. As I said in the interview piece, it is sometimes hard to take it all seriously when a designer talks about his influences but when Anderson says that the danger of Rasputin to Tsar Nicholas II is implied in the padding of the jewellery in the connection, giving some physical protection to the wearer.... well, I just believe it when I see the work. Other factors such as Anderson's attraction to the sinister and 19th century portrayal of anatomical abnomality which I got from his previous collections also resulted in this accessories collection (somehow the word 'accessories' seems too weighless a word to use with Anderson's work...). What was even more impressive was that Anderson had created a showpiece menswear collection to present the jewellery, taking traditional Slavic influences and adding twists and turns to that so as not to create costume pieces. Though they are only showpieces, individually, and styled in a sparing way, I could especially see these pieces worn in reality, men or women in fact.»

ASH STYMEST FOR METAL #17 ISSUE

one plus one

Pamela Reed and Matthew Rader say with smiling on: As romantic as it may be, we are not married to our cameras.


They met while going to school at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh about five years ago.

After they finished the two year program they decided to migrate in NYC and transfer into the School of Visual Arts. A few months after moving they started thinking about formally joining forces and a short time later we made it officially, and the Reed+Rader collective was born.



Sometimes them compare to creative duet Gilbert & George.




Technology, the internet, stuffed animals, and gaming are the biggest inspirations of Pamela Reed + Matthew Rader.


They’d love to work with Daft Punk, Rick Owens and Gareth Pugh…



Their work isn't only photography. Sometimes, it isn't even mostly photography.
What’s important to them is getting an end result using any combination of photography, illustration, graphic design, etc., to get what they want.

Taylor Tomasi

It’s so difficult not to notice the red-haired woman with an abundance of accessories.


Featured in many a street style blog after the Fall shows - Taylor Tomasi captures the spirit of real dressing.
She, walking style inspiration and Accessories Director talks to teenvogue.com about her job that
I am always on the lookout for cool, interesting accessories to include in the magazine. I attend all the major fashion shows in New York and Europe, which is where I spot new trends and come up with story ideas. Outside of Fashion Week, a typical day starts early, as I jump between showrooms to pick out all the accessories used in our photo shoots. I have an average of 15 to 20 appointments per day and pull anywhere from 200 to 300 accessories for each shoot. I head back to the office in the afternoon to sign off on paperwork, check credits for stories, organize accessories that have come in, and work with the stylists on upcoming shoots.



I have a Bachelor of Industrial Design degree from Pratt Institute. My first internship was at W magazine, in the accessories department, which led to a full-time position. I eventually became the fashion-market editor there and assisted Alex White, Fashion Director of W, on all her shoots, which really helped me to understand the full scope of market work. Then I became the senior fashion editor at Teen Vogue, before finally switching back to accessories.


My best tip for jump-starting a career in fashion is to take an internship very seriously—and if you love where you are working, try to stay there as long as possible. Showing initiative may lead to something more. Working in fashion, however, is not always as glamorous as what you see on television. It's a very demanding, high-stress environment—but if you thrive under pressure, it may be the perfect fit for you.

Her favorite labels: Proenza Schouler shoes, Rick Owens, Miu Miu bags, Ann Demeulemeester and little vintage thrown in for good measure.

She was previously the style and accessories director for Teen Vogue and is currently doing the same job for Marie Claire with the same fire as in hair, and eyes.
