<h3>
In honor of Zayn Malik's first solo record, we track his effortlessly transformation. </h3>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's been almost a year since rivers flowed backwards, time stood still, nations fell, and Zayn Malik announced his departure from <a href="http://outsider-mag.blogspot.com/search/label/one%20direction" target="_blank">One Direction</a>. Hard to believe, I know. Since then the Bradford Bad Boy has gracefully transformed himself from the "mysterious one" into a pop enigma that needs only one name. </span></div>
<div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For what it's worth - Zayn has done a pretty flawless
job at distancing himself from <b>that</b> past life, yet he doesn't hide his gratitude for it. “I
genuinely enjoyed [the band] and did whatever I could to be myself within that,
but it’s just not where I sit as a musician,” he told <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/cover-story/6835305/zayn-malik-solo-career-one-direction-new-music" target="_blank">Billboard Magazine</a> in
November, "It’s good music, but I don’t fuck with it." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Instead his
debut solo album (which is to be christened <i>Mind of Mine </i>and due March 25th)
will be more in the vein of Drake, the Weeknd, and even A$AP Rocky. Zayn explained the new album to <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2015/11/17/zayn-malik-fader-cover-story-interview-solo-album-one-direction" target="_blank">Fader Magazine</a>: “...all the songs are different
genres,” he said. “They don’t really fit a specific type of music. They’re not
like, ‘This is funk, this is soul, this is upbeat, this is a dance tune.’
Nothing is like that. I don’t really know what my style is yet. I’m kind of
just showing what my influences are. Depending on what the reaction is, then
I’ll go somewhere with that. If people like that I’m a bit more R&B, then
I’ll do more R&B on my next album. If they like the fact that there’s
reggae on there, I might do more reggae. It’s just depending on what they want
and what I feel comfortable with at the time. I might even have a rock tune on
the album, but it’s kind of like R&B-rock.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This new vibe is totally understandable when looking
back at his previous job. </span>While the other boys fawned over John Mayer and Fleetwood Mac, Zayn was bowing down to artists like Frank Ocean. <span style="font-family: inherit;">When 1D needed a smooth and delicious high
note that could make any human being weak in all the places, it would go to
Zayn. But, “If I would sing a hook or a verse slightly R&B, or
slightly myself, it would always be recorded 50 times until there was a straight
version that was pop, generic as fuck, so they could use that version," telling Fader late last year. "Whenever
I would suggest something, it was like it didn’t fit us. There was just a
general conception that the management already had of what they want for the
band, and I just wasn’t convinced with what we were selling. I wasn’t 100
percent behind the music. It wasn’t me." But something tells me that, right now, we are seeing the 100% real Zayn Malik. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">If last year wasn't his year, then this one will be. </span></div>

The Beatles were, and still are, considered one of the greatest bands of all time. If the obvious examples of early 60s hysteria don't prove it, then the numbers sure will. As of 2014, the Fab Four have sold over two billion albums total. Yes, that's with a "b". The band, which broke up at the end of the 1960s, has also sold more than 2.8 million singles on iTunes. Point is, they are just as relevant now as they were fifty years ago. Music, unlike milk and MAC lipstick, doesn't expire or go out of fashion.. When it is done right. Last month, the entire Beatles catalog debuted on Spotify and while hits like "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", and "Hey Jude" are leading the pack in streams, it's time to take a look at some of their hidden gems. So sit back and enjoy a playlist full of tunes that are sure to please, please me (well, you.. That was my attempt at a pun.) AB<br />

Blue eye shadow, leather trousers, bubblegum pink, and loads of tongue action - the band's new single and music video are a die hard's dream. <a name='more'></a></h3>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>image: Courtesy the 1975; video: Courtesy Dirty Hit Records</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i><br /></i></span>
For true the 1975 followers ( including myself and I'm looking at you @tomm1975), a new single has been a <u style="font-style: italic;">long</u> time coming. We've had the band's self-titled debut LP on solid rotation for nearly two years as they've toured the world and dropped much loved remixes. Now, the Manchester four piece are all in the neon 80s pop-osphere with their latest track "Love Me". The record's had some major build up, with lead singer Matty Healy dropping poetic and artistic hints left and right on his Instagram (@trumanblack). The track is almost directly cut from the clothe of glam-god David Bowie's hit "Fame". I'm waiting very patiently for a mash-up/remix (fingers crossed). While Matty's vocals are drenched in Duran Duran goodness, though he told BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw his influence was "honestly just <i>the Goofy Movie.</i>"<br />
<br />
The song's lyrics hold a mirror to pop musics's narcissism and sloppy excess, as well as society's fascination with it - with lines like, "<b>... you're reading about yourself on a plane FAME! What a shame!</b>" and "<b>You look famous let's be friends and portray we possess something important</b>". They even throw a jab at the Kardashian klan, "<b>caught up in fashion - Karcrashian panache and a bag of bash for passion.</b>" The newly released video gives all of that and more.<br />
<br />
In full Warhol color (a la their "Girls" video, as the die hards already know), the band shows what it's like to be a pop band living in the 21st century. Matty downs champagne and plays with cardboard cutouts of #tbt Miley Cyrus, Elvis Presley, Charli XCX, Rita Ora, and more, rocks hundreds of mini Matty tattoos, and even makes out with a cutout of One Direction's Harry Styles. Hot tub antics, dancing babes, a glorious MJ moment - it's everything you hoped it would be.<br />
<br />
"Love Me" is the first single from the 1975's upcoming sophomore album <i>I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It.</i><br />

Every season, I like to curate a playlist for you guys to really set the mood. They reflect the energy and vibe of what's going on in culture, fashion, etc. This time of year is particularly golden because some of our favorite artists are dropping all new tracks. Drake, Adele, the 1975, One Direction. It's prime time people. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This season's playlist has a few of those names (okay, maybe more. I couldn't help myself.) I had no other choice but to add "Hotline Bling" and "Hello". Really, I didn't. Instead of the original versions of the mega hits "Drag Me Down" and "Perfect" by One Direction and "The Hills" by the Weeknd, have a listen to some alternative versions. I swear you'll like them better. Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats's retro jam "S.O.B" is a stunner that may be new on your radar. And if you're not really into vintage tunes, just taste some Nina Simone and Otis Redding. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know for die hards of all of these artists to see these names by each other may make you squirm, but breathe. Hopefully, if I'm doing this right, the playlist has some tracks that you've never heard. Listen to the playlist on the right sidebar of your screen.You won't be disappointed. AB</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i><br /></i></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">James Dean had an energy that was like no other. He seemed ahead of his time, unlike anyone else in 50s Hollywood. A true artist James immersed himself in his acting, as well as his other outlets of photography, sculpting, poetry, and speed racing. The Indiana-native had style evoked his ease, seriousness, and artistic mind. He pioneered the finger-combed hair long before any member of One Direction or Lucky Blue Smith. James had his signature thick framed glasses, which he hated wearing. His daily style consisted of knit sweaters, Brenton stripes, broken-in jeans, peacoats, and casual khakis - all matched with a cigarette and a longing gaze. </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">He died at just 24 in a horrific car accident on September, 30 1955. He starred in only three major motion pictures: </span><i style="font-weight: normal;">East of Eden, Rebel With A Cause, </i><span style="font-weight: normal;">and </span><i style="font-weight: normal;">Giant, </i><span style="font-weight: normal;">all must sees. Yet, with all of this being said, he is a cinematic icon. He was nominated for an Academy Award for two of his three films, with </span><i style="font-weight: normal;">Rebel </i><span style="font-weight: normal;">and </span><i style="font-weight: normal;">Giant </i><span style="font-weight: normal;">both being released after his passing. He was an enigma that will forever remain in the hearts of me, and the rest of the world. AB</span></span><br />

What once was a farmer's uniform has become a full-on fashion mainstay. Overalls, or dungarees, are not a new trend whatsoever, but a whole new group of fashion it-girls and street style babes are taking the piece to new levels. It can be done up or toned down, worn in the heat or in the bitter chill. They are the Swiss Army knife of denim do-alls. Check out the best ways to rock them. AB</div>

The strong Seventies trend this season has propelled the button-front A-line skirt straight to the top of the essentials list. Long or short this piece looks good on near every body type, and in denim or suede (fall's it-fabric) it goes with absolutely everything. As the seasons change simply slide some opaque tights to bear the chilly temps. But, don't just rely on my style tips, here are ten ways to rock this key fall piece (plus shop one of your very own <a href="http://us.topshop.com/en/tsus/category/seasons-change-4625160/home?TS=1438768994249&intcmpid=slider_US_WK49_FOREVER_SUMMER" target="_blank">here</a>, score!).

There's no beauty look that better transitions seasons than a glowing natural face and an effortlessly thrown together topknot. Salt still fresh in our hair, sun-kissed color on our face - summer hasn't totally left. This look holds onto the best parts of beach life and extends it until the leaves begin to turn. Shop these products to help achieve the (im)perfectly (un)done look. AB<br />

Whenever you ask a fashion-obsessed person about the month of August denim automatically comes to the brain. It's the one thing we wear every summer that always transitions with us into fall. They are like peanut butter and jelly. Ross and Rachel. Moss and Testino. A perfect combination. To elevate your denim-ness, look to these 16 looks that are so good, they would make Levi Strauss shed a tear. AB</div>

Tame Impala released their new album a while back, titled <i>Currents</i>, which featured a slue of 80s-meets-60s electro psychedelia tunes, including notable songs like "Eventually", and "Let It Happen". Seriously, go get the album now. It's wonderful. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The yesterday; however, the band released an epic remix of a track from <i>Currents, </i>called "'Cause I'm A Man", reworked by one of our favorite sister trios - HAIM. It's a fantastical redo with enchanting vocals by the three. Listen to the track for yourself and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear. AB</div>

<h3>
The September cover girl challenges fashion to go #HeForShe.<br />
<a name='more'></a></h3>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>photo: courtesy British Vogue</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i><br /></i></span>
British actress/humanitarian Emma Watson is expanding her global solidarity movement towards gender equality with a little help from British <i>Vogue</i>, as well as gracing their September issue. She launched the campaign, aptly named HeForShe, nearly a year ago with her now iconic speech on equality (seriously, if you haven't watched it do so <a href="https://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=crmas&p=emma+watson+un+speech" target="_blank">now</a>). The UN ambassadress is partnering with the magazine to discuss the equality and representation of both men and women in the fashion industry.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, with the help of director Kathryn Ferguson, Emma released a <i>Vogue </i>Video featuring designers Stella McCartney, Jonathan Saunders, Erdem Moralioglu, and Bella Freud - all advocating the need for equal rights. "It's not just in our industry - it's in every industry," says fellow Brit McCartney, "but there's a massive issue with women not having equality." She adds, "We need to allow women to feel comfortable in who they are." Jonathan Saunders cautions complacency saying, "It's very easy to slip into the mindset where you feel like you're working in a very liberal environment, where men and women are treated equally, where there doesn't seem to be any gender preferential treatment. It just seems easy to make light of that."<br />
<br />
The video as a whole is powerful, much like Emma herself. I, and Outsider, stand firmly beside the campaign and are proud supporters of initiative. Emma ended the video as only she could, hopefully: " I have big hopes for gender equality and the fashion industry. I think it's really improving." She says, "I've seen some positive steps towards equality in the industry, but I still think there's a lot of racism and a lot of sexism. I'd really love to see a more diverse representation of women, and men, in any way that makes them feel empowered." Powerful words by a inspirational.Yet until moves are made, the gap will never be bridged. AB<br />

Take a cue from this look featured in the latest issue of <i>Porter </i>Magazine to brighten up your minimalistic summer look.</div>

bonfires, cool winds, everything pumpkin, and the changing leaves. Plus, September issues are like my bible. I can't get enough. So as the self-proclaimed expert in all things fall wear, here are my picks to get you psyched for the season. AB</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Model/actress/designer/freak-of-nature Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has a sixth sense when it comes to street style. Just Google it, you will find snap after snap of Rosie stepping down the street looking like the closest thing to perfection. Jealous? I know. Coming from a photoshoot, dinner, errends, the gym -the gym (!!)- she looks totally put together. Her favorite piece in a effortless street look is denim, making her new fall/winter collaboration with Paige no surprise. The collection is fabulous, to say the least. It's filled with separates that will elevate you wardrobe by an infinite amount of points. With studs, leather, plaid, and zipper embellishments, the vibe is very grunge rock n roll; but in the most Rosie way possible. I don't know if you've been saving your summer job money (I know I haven't), but scrape together whatever you can. You are going to want all of this. Take a look. AB</span></span><br />

Model Karlie Kloss is absolutely no stranger to the fashion scene, in fact she's owning it. After eight years in the game she is the new face of L'Oreal Paris, sponsored by Nike, and an editorial, runway, and campaign mainstay.<br />
<br />
Not only that, the newly 23 year-old (late HBD, KK!) said no thank you to Victoria's Secret to attend NYU (she had fellow American supermodel icon Christy Turlington-Burns write her letter of recommendation, nbd), started a Flat Iron Institute scholarship for girls who code (or 'kode') - her new obsession, created her own YouTube channel, Klossy, a behind-the-scenes look at her crazy wonderful life, and - oh yeah - she maintains her wildly successful charitable cookie collab with Momofuku Milk Bar, Karlie's Kookies. <br />
<br />
Even with all that goes on she still finds the time to pose in countless Fall 2015 campaigns: DVF, Marella, Express, and Versace to name a few. Take a look. AB<br />

Pussy bow blouses, soft cashmere sweaters, lace skivvies, daisies, and cat eyes - Gigi Hadid channels the fashion babes of the 50s and 60s in her upcoming editorial for the magazine's September issue. Shot by master Steven Meisel, she gives major <a href="http://outsider-mag.blogspot.com/2014/05/style-icon-brigitte-bardot.html" target="_blank">Brigette Bardot</a> vibes, as well as hints of Marilyn Monroe's iconic early 60s black and white images. The shoot is a blend of motion and stillness, softness and seduction. It is beautiful. It is iconic.

<h3>
Designers are looking to the past for inspiration and bringing with it a whole new kind of attitude.<a name='more'></a></h3>

<br />
The past few seasons have fully embraced the freedom and ease of the 1970s. However not only is the look of the Seventies girl translating this fall, but the attitude and strength is also carrying over. It's no accident to see the heightening support of feminism resurge around the same time as the trends of that era reappear. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6wgkDMliODc/VcFpgNzbvDI/AAAAAAAABCU/nXxzU-xCELQ/s1600/09aaca3b4ecfe81ad6ef8ed70ecf136d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6wgkDMliODc/VcFpgNzbvDI/AAAAAAAABCU/nXxzU-xCELQ/s320/09aaca3b4ecfe81ad6ef8ed70ecf136d.jpg" width="251" /></a></div>
<br />
The clothes of the Seventies marry a paradox: a feminine woman with strong masculine beliefs. These first-wave feminist stood for individuality. They told the conservative purists they were not just objects to be admired, but forces to be reckoned with. Yet these pioneers were not superstars. They were no Beyoncé; no Emma Watson; no Meryl Streep. These trailblazers changed the way women were viewed for just that - the change - not the glory. Their style equally reflected their feelings of who they were as women. They loved being women, and everything that comes with it - flowing patterned dresses, stacked heels, bell-bottomed pants, and delicate jewels. But remember, this is the 70s, men weren't afraid to wear this too. Women also dressed to reflect their new inner strength: blazers, pussy bow tops, suits and button-downs. They went minimal on hair and makeup to complement their busy lives, as well as to break status quos.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sIE318QWjYo/VcFpEkL7rPI/AAAAAAAABCI/nldjrQdZ8JQ/s1600/40e4574ca125c07d621cdf1cc2340259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sIE318QWjYo/VcFpEkL7rPI/AAAAAAAABCI/nldjrQdZ8JQ/s400/40e4574ca125c07d621cdf1cc2340259.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
So after all of their hard work, and all of these years, you'd think we as women would be on an even ground. Right? Well, not exactly. Don't get me wrong, there's progress, but the little there is of that is only seen in privileged first-world countries. Hadley Freeman wrote on feminism in the Fall 2015 issue of <em>PORTER </em>saying, "Female genital mutilation (FGM) is still all too prevalent around the world, especially in Africa, but also in Asia and the Middle East. According to the World Health Organization, in Egypt, 91 percent of women - 91%! - may have been subjected to FGM. In China, abortions are far more likely to be conducted on female fetuses, to the point that for every 100 girls born, there are 119 boys. In Pakistan, almost a thousand women every year are the victims of so-called 'honor killings'." Even in the West, we still have not reached full equality. The pay gap is still astounding, a cause Mrs. Streep and Ms. Watson fight for today. <br />
<br />
Fashion has also joined the equality cause. All of the trends first started by the first-wave feminists have seen new light in 2015. Fashion houses like Chloe, Stella McCartney, Valentino, and Burberry, as well as high street brands like Free People, have created collections pulsating with the energy of a powerfully independent woman. Karl Lagerfeld put on a full-fledge protest to conclude Chanel's Spring/Summer 2015 ready-to-wear show, featuring powerhouses Gisele, Kendall, Gigi, Cara, and Georgia May. Magazines like <em>Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, </em>and <em>PORTER </em>are writing strong, influential, and honest essays on the new feminist revival. <em>PORTER </em>recently explored this in their Fall 2015 with two editorials featuring cover girl Daria Werbowy, titled 'True Grit' and 'Soft Focus', displaying the two forces of - not only Werbowy, but - every woman. <br />
<br />
This is a powerful time we are living in. Our rights as women need to be given - but they will not. We must strive to take them for ourselves. It's the work of men and women, young and old. Fashion mirrors the time in which it existed, and ours in Fall 2015 reflects the strong, independent, beautiful, and elegant women we want to be. I am proud to be a feminist. A woman who wishes to see everyone that deserves equality achieve it. It's ours for the taking. Will you change the game?

A new crop of male models are hitting the fashion scene gaining massive attention for their unique features and drop-dead good looks. And when I say massive, I don't mean that as an understatement. These boys are catching a following only previously familiar to bands, like One Direction and the Rolling Stones. Models such as Lucky Blue Smith and Matthew Noszka rule Instagram, with millions of fans hearting every selfie and backstage snap.

What to expect and why this is such a big deal.</h3>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<em><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Image: Courtesy Saint Laurent</span></em><br />
<br />
If you were on Twitter <u>at all</u> yesterday and follow any type of fashion account, then you witnessed the absolute craze that occurred when Saint Laurent's Hedi Slimane announced the relaunch of their couture branch. This news is major. Not for the pure fact that it's Saint Laurent we're talking about - I mean, anything designer Slimane creates is a work of absolute genius - but more for it's nearly thirteen year hiatus when the brand was under Yves Saint Laurent himself in 2002. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W2mQfx00IJc/VbkkyRWGJ4I/AAAAAAAABBY/f-E4U47qxZg/s1600/yves-saint-laurent-couture-vogue-3-28jul15-pr_b_426x639.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W2mQfx00IJc/VbkkyRWGJ4I/AAAAAAAABBY/f-E4U47qxZg/s400/yves-saint-laurent-couture-vogue-3-28jul15-pr_b_426x639.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
We can expect nothing but the best from Slimane, who has already re-energized the label with heavy rock 'n' roll influence and mission to reimagine Yves's original vision. He said in his announcement that "the ateliers are now at the centre of the Saint Laurent project by Hedi Slimane. The ateliers also produce commissioned hand-made pieces for movie stars and musicians. Hedi determines which of these pieces will carry the atelier's hand-sewn couture label 'Yves Saint Laurent'." In his first twenty-five couture looks the other day as well which you can view <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2015/07/28/yves-saint-laurent-returns-to-couture---hedi-slimane/gallery/1446773" target="_blank">here</a>. Prepare yourself for edge, opulence, mystery, luxury, grit, elegance, rock, and to want every single piece of it. AB<br />

The denim-on-denim look is a classic one, but this fall it's receiving a MAJOR face lift. With new cuts and fresh takes, you don't have to worry about looking like Jay Leno anytime soon (No offense Jay Leno). Canadian tuxedos are the new fall uniform. AB

Actress, model, and fashion muse Phoebe Tonkin always looks flawless. Whether she's bare faced or made up, this girl shine with natural Aussie beauty. If you have ever wondered (or unsuccessfully tried) how to get her signature sultry nude look, then this video will make your day. She teamed up with makeup artist Monika Blunder (check out her other makeup tutorial viddies for even more how tos!) to create a tutorial of Tonkin's look. Needless to say, I'm obsessed.

Suki Waterhouse's style is already something to be jealous of - part 60s babe, part 90s child - she always looks utterly cool. Recently, she let British <em>VOGUE (</em>in partnership with Vestiaire Collective)<em> </em>into her London flat, as well as in her impeccable closet. It's filled with "disgustingly to die for" pieces both vintage and designer, and gets real about what makes a stylish girl. "The most stylish people aren't the most popular girls in school," Suki says. She picks out her favorites, including a 70s Fonda style leisure look, and shows how she styles them. She even gets a lesson on the silk neck scarf trend (which I, for one, am obsessed with). Finally, she writes down and seals her ultimate fashion secret. Watch the video below to get the full view of her wardrobe, and go<a href="http://www.vestiairecollective.com/" target="_blank"> here</a> to see her little secret. <br />

With a line up of models just as elegant as the dresses, Atelier Versace's fall collection is a fantastical wonderland.<a name='more'></a></h3>

The Paris couture shows are in full motion, with brands like Dior and Chanel sending down impeccably made pieces (more on those soon!). But it's the dark elfin fantasy world Donatella Versace created for her fall couture collection that still has everyone swept away. <br />

The models really looked other worldly, think Lord of the Rings-meets-Game of Thrones-meets-Stevie Nicks. Hair softly waved adorned with tough flower crowns and smoky metallic emerald eyes, this Atelier girl is a seductress. A tough seductress. She will temp the soldiers before she goes in for the kill. Lethal. The clothes fully encapsulate that idea. Lara Stone, who stomped out to an oh-so-fitting song by the Doors, opened the show in a lilac, asymmetrical, chiffon gown with matching patent leather go-go boots. The sleeves are long and demure, but the pair of cut-outs on each side along with the plunging neckline say otherwise. This is felt throughout the collection, with juxtaposition in every look. It would not be a Versace show without skin, yet it would also not be one without class. ABAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040433105321663505noreply@blogger.com0
