Song of the Day : [07/09]Ladies and gentleman, allow me to introduce to you one of my dearest and most talented friends: Jason Aaron, the philanthro-pirate.

He plays all the instruments you hear and makes his own beats. He also writes beautiful lyrics and has a unique-knick-knack for fashion. You can buy his personally designed artful band shirts…

Kattaca: Fashion StylistWe have referenced the work of Kattaca many times, especially in relation to photographer Paco Peregrin seen best in the Spain’s Fashion Production Dream Team article – Kattaca works pretty much exclusively with Paco Peregrin and when they work together, you can recognize it from far. The trio definitely have their own style! They like to play with structural fabrics and shapes and an amazing makeup and hair team which helps a lot on the creativity of the outfits. Mario Ville and Carol Gamarra are the genius stylists formerly known as Kattaca. You can see their work in magazines like Neo2 or maybe Tendencias but it is easily the caliber ( if not above and beyond) of ID, Surface or Dazed & Confused – Be sure to check out her work at www.kattaca.com it is pretty mind blowing!
