I seem determined this week to litter the blog with a ton of animated GIFS, so much so that your eyes will start getting that tired double lidded thing , similar to when acidic pixels were all over MySpace back in the day (can't quite believe I'm already using 'back in the day' with MySpace…). Still, this is the way that Contributor Magazine have chosen to present their bitesized posts on their haute-blog/e-zine and in their case of frequently uploaded and strangely compelling imagery, it works a treat.
Contributor is contributed to by mainly Swedish contributors (count that word up there…) and it was launched at the last Paris Fashion Week and has been ploughing away with mini-shoots, arresting mono-image posts, and contributors' outfit posts that are not of the conventional WAYWT format. For instance 'Through the looking glass' focuses on Contributor's designer and his understated deets. 'What we're wearing tomorrow' results in haphazard GIFS…
The Beauty shots in particular are quite spectacular… which is abnormal for me to say seeing as me and beauty aren't the best of chums…
I'm also rather taken with key contributor Sara Litzen's visual style insights because a) she seems to have the most immaculately applied red lipstick I've ever come across and b) she has also seemingly bought all of my mother's early 90s reject clothes, the ones which I said no to a few years back and make them look spectacular… velvet padded headbands, oversized coats, many silk blouses etc…
Actually their infatuation with the 90s and mum's old things extends to this GIF here which declares 'You can never have to many old lady accessories"…
… and also an editorial dedicated to the fashion legacy left by Ab-Fab…
Really oldschool looks! 🙂 But cool!

I got so confused.. I went to comment on the gorgeous sexy black dress, then it was gone! So I scrolled down the post again, and it was there! Then went to comment… there was a whole other picture.
It’s cool though. And the GIFs are pretty minimalistic so they don’t hurt my eyes, I like them!
This has been an awesome post to wake up to (it’s like 7.51am here in NZ)….just awesome.
I’m confused… sometimes they’re moving, sometimes not & the mouth is slightly frightening – but, hey, great idea!
i really quite like the old mum silhouette… it’s actually refreshing!
LOVE the AbFab inspired looks. Makes me wish I had enough hair for a bee hive.
And seriously, I’d need a full time make-up artist on hand to get my lipstick that perfect.
Sara Litzen is great! Definitely want to see more of her!
Absolutely brilliant! My favorite is the old lady’s accessories one.
I met a lovely older Danish/Norwegian (can’t remember which, I just remember she made a point of saying she’s not Swedish) at last season’s International Party (snore) who was doing some photography for Contributor magazine, but I’ve never actually seen any of it. Maybe I should get my hands on some…

I love the old lady accessories, big time! I’m working on getting more of these classic little looks in my vintage shop. Buckets of vintage clip on earrings & patterned scarves is the general goal. 😉 xoxo

Yeah the beauty shots are really quite amazing… I love it on the whole, though; that edgy style is so cool!

OK, so Sara Litzen is my new style icon…
I went through a long padded hairband phase when I was nine. I had one of those Sara’s wearing. I totally forgot all about those things, must have blocked it somehow…
LOVE Sara Litzen! Bx

on paper the gifs seem a bit too much but they look fab! a definite way to stand out with your images, plus the lipstick is so great! i’m looking for the perfect lipstick colour as i don’t think i’m a red person but wouldn’t it be great to wear a slick every day and thus always look made up
i wanna say thank you for each post that you’re making!
there are always so many sides of one person even though he/she dosn’t realise them yet.it is so fabulous that she can express by what she is wearing and out the trap of the real world character she need to be in.

The colored faces with the headpieces are (really watered down) re-creations of photographs of people of the Omo Valley by Hans Silvester. http://anahata.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b62369e20120a5e372a7970c-800wi
Bought the book a year ago and was drawing pictures out of it last night, the images are intense.
Also, Henny Garfunkle puts her lips on loud and great and there a blog entry on Advanced Style with a video of her applying them. It’s great.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative
