An Alternative to Fashion Mags: Fashion Films on DVD
Stroll down the magazine aisle of any bookstore ,and you’ll fast realize that there are more fashion publications than one can physically keep up with. And if you pick one up, you’ll find more advertisements than editorial. If you’re tired of the fluff, try FLY DVD, the first fashion and art “moving-magazine†instead.
“How is watching a film comparable to reading a magazine?†you may ask yourself. The answer lies in the third dimension.
Up until now, the fashion curious have experienced their love of clothing through traditional 2-D print magazines. FLY DVD is bringing to life the outfits (and models) you wish you could see in person. Another reason to dust off that DVD machine is a vital element FLY has that Vogue doesn’t: sound. FLY is giving serious fashionistas all over the chance to not only see style in action, but to also hear it. With its integration of film, music, art, fashion, and dialogue, the goal is not only for the viewer to have fun, but also to be stimulated, inspired, and informed even when they step away from the television set.
Though the FLY DVD concept is in its early stages, its players are no rookies. Zero Issue, the very first fashion on film FLY DVD, features the works of established and emerging photographers, filmmakers, animators, artists, and musicians. With 14 fashion films, 6 interviews and documentaries, 9 music videos, Zero Issue includes fashion editors’ favorite designers: Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Y3, Zac Posen, Boudicca, and Cloak.
Featured in the next issue are contributions from John Malkovich, Alex Antitch, KT Auleta, Mike Figgis, Vanina Sorrenti, and Alex Cayley. Look for designs from Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton, Burberry Prorsum, Riccardo Tisci, and more. If you still have no clue how fashion plays on film, visit www.insidefly.com for a sneak-peak trailer of Zero Issue.

This is one of the coolest things we’ve seen in a long time. Perfect for those who don’t get enough shuteye, the Axbo is the world’s first sleep phase alarm clock.
Getting enough sleep isn’t always about quantity–it’s also about where you are in your sleep cycle when you awaken. Axbo wakes you up at the Optimal point in your sleep cycle so that you’re not groggy upon awakening.
Genius….just genius.

Amethyst Briolette Cluster Necklace
We recently came across this amethyst necklace, designed and made by Kelly Meeker. Gorgeous design, beautiful craftsmanship.
Even better, you don’t have to worry about showing up somewhere wearing (god forbid) the same piece of jewelry. Kelly’s designs are produced in extremely limited quantities and are handcrafted by the designer herself. While you’re at Kelly’s site, check out her other designs, many of which are on sale. We’ve got our eye on the Faceted Garnet & White Freshwater Pearl Cluster Earrings, on sale for $44.
The icing on the cake? Kelly was kind enough to offer a
10% additional discount to Omiru readers. When you check out, enter OMIRU in the
notes section to get your discount!
$95 at Kelly Meeker Designs.
