Pre-Mugler
Excellent styling.
Found this on Strange Eyes’ tumblr but I’m 99% sure its originally from the book “Native Funk and Flash”
The neck braids are great, I’m wondering how it would look as an embellishment on blazers/jackets, basted onto some transparent type fabric.
This image and styling reminds me of my thesis teacher, Pascale Gatzen, who is another amazing designer.
Another image from the same tumblr, but again, I’m 99% sure its from “Native funk and flash”. I urge any of you interested in DIY fashion in northern san francisco in the 60’s/70’s to get the book, its incredible.
Wonderful outfit consolidation. Pants onto some ruffled maxi skirt…
I love transparency, layers of it interacting together…especially if it involves no compensation of a nude lining.
Doing something you shouldn’t do in public.. haha.
This is actually from Another Magazine editorial lying around my room somewhere, always meant to scan this vintage Mugler dress.

I’m so glad you started this image feed portion of the site, love all these pics! Who are the two draggy looking gentleman under the photo from the latest VP if you don’t mind me askin? I love that photo!

I saw a dream that the food part was updated…. I have a sad sad life and you an awesome site
great breakfast visuals
Looking forward to seeing what these things inspire from you…
phenomenal collection of inspiring photos!
Super cool pictures! Those neck braids are indeed stellar. Just a question of interest, is there any reason you always post such enormous pictures?
Yes, there actually is! I prefer looking at huge images, preferably hi-res ones.
stunning. the pierced nude dress reminds of your nude moto jacket. I love the angie and bowie shot, i think its from a vogue shoot like 4-5 yrs ago. They also had great layouts of models posing as marilyn manson, the beatles, pdiddy, janis, jim morrison, etccc
I just watched “Metropolis” recently and it is absolutely mind blowing visually (re the first photo)
Your imagefeed is becoming an unmissable part of the Luxirare experience.
I love that you are sharing images that are inspiring you and allowing us to make connections with your own designs.
these images are exceptional and beyond inspiring…..i really love the transparent one….there is nothing more sensual tha transparent layers on the skin in my belief!!
ohhh luxi those pix are insane… my fav goes to the last one!
this Mugler dress is to die for…. it kind of remined me the jacket u did for susiebubble in some way skin color + piercing is the shit!

Want the last look so badly, it’s perfect.
You are killing me! I found Native Funk and Flash on my mother’s bookshelf (she was a designer in the early 80’s) and I literally could not contain my excitement. I can’t believe you know those images as well as i do. I also found these amazing embroidered scraps of denim that she’s done as a teenager in Israel (hippie-central) in the ’70s. that depict sunshine and rainbows and gardens all done in lockstitch. Let’s bring it back.
Yeah that embroidery one is from Native Funk and Flash.
i “borrowed it” from my school library
