Dunyale Luna with love





In March 1966 Dunyale Luna was featured on the cover of British Vogue, making her the first black woman to appear on the cover of any Vogue magazine, period.The iconic cover image shows Luna covering most of her face, which was allegedly a request of the magazine's editors to help mask her ethnicity. Another theory is that the photographer was influenced by the work of Picasso and his simple lines and different ways of representing a face.

Sadly, Luna's illustrious career was cut short when she passed away due to a heroin overdose in 1979.

Here are some favourite photographs of Dunyale Luna.

The work of Anna Duthie leaves me wanting more





 The work of Anna Duthie got me so inspired. She is a recently graduated textiles student from Glasgow School of Art and I do hope to get to see more of her work.

Ruth Ansel at Moderna museet in Stockholm


For two days, the 16th and 17th of May, Ruth Ansel, Barbara Kruger among others, take part in an event called Hall of Femmes Design Talks at Moderna museet in Stockholm, Sweden. A great event created by the Hall of femmes.

Ruth Ansel has been the art director of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, New York Times Magazine, Vogue and Vanity Fair. Working with photographers such as Irving Penn, Bruce Weber and Richard Avedon to name but a few. Being a woman who has always seemed to know what she wanted and who truly loves her work, she surely is inspiring. Here are some photographs of Ruth Ansel at work and of her most famous works.
