André Leon Talley has a Protégé: Jason Riffe

New York Magazine recently caught up with Jason Riffe, a young man they call Andre Leon Talley’s protege and personal photographer:

Jason Riffe Andre Leon Talley

He got his start by drive and determination, enrolling in Savannah’s College of Art & Design (knowing ALT’s relationship with the school), then persistently sending him e-mails until Vogue’s Editor-at-Large allowed Jiffe to shadow him to many high wattage events.

In the article Jiffe says, “I knew [that] if I wanted to be the next American fashion photographer, I needed to shoot for Vogue; I needed to work for Andre Talley. He is the definition of fashion for the world. Other than him, it would be Anna Wintour. I found he was on the board at SCAD, and that was the only reason I chose that school. I did whatever I had to do to go there, just so I could meet Andre Talley.”

Apparently very few of the students at SCAD even knew who Andre Leon Talley was, which created an opening for Jiffe. Talk about smart and resourceful.

Hot! or Hmm…. : Rihanna in Acid Wash Jeans

Rihanna dug into her 80’s wardrobe recently, donning a pair of acid wash jeans with a bright pink cardigan and neon sunglasses:

Rihanna Stone Washed Jeans

I remember rocking the button fly back in the day, though I’m unsure I’d ever like to relive those wayward moments. I think Rihanna manages to make the decades old trend look new and fresh, but what do you think?

Is it hot? Or does it make you go hmm…

Check out some high and low priced acid washed jeans here:

Steal of the Day: Obey Eyes of the Tiger Ring

With Season 2 of the Rachel Zoe Project coming soon, we thought it fitting to pay homage to her uber-fab and ridiculously expensive Pathere de Cartier ring. Though we die for it, I’m sure $14,000 may be a bit too much for us recessionistas and wallet-watching stylistos!

Shut it down with Obey’s Eyes of the Tiger ring:

Eyes-of-the-Tiger-ring

It’s super fierce and you can get it here for only $39!  Bananas!
