Graffiti Girl Toofly

It's kwl to be different. Growing up in NYC in the 90s when hip hop is in full glorious flow and you are one of the few pioneering girl graffiti artists, definitely puts Toofly in the kwl camp.
For starters check out her freaking cardboard artwork.
 'Dream Catcher'
Alicia Keys invited Toofly to work her magic at Swiss Beatz's recent birthday party.
Thanks to ladies love project on tumblr for this pic
Wicked birthday present!
Toofly was born in Ecuador and raised in NYC.
Her mom would act as her 'lookout' on rooftops on night time art excursions.
On the way to school in Queens she would be inspired by track side graffiti.
Strong women, amazing hair and stunning make-up make for iconic images.

Big earrings are a Toofly signature.
This is stunning.
You can see her working on RUN DMC portraits here.
They did not prove 'tricky'.

Givenchy Fall 2013

This sweater and indeed Givenchy show was one of the highlights of all the fashion weeks. It will be worn to death by fashionistas and imitateded by those far less original.

I really liked the skirt Fei Fei Sun modelled.
Can that Bambi sweater rival the Kenzo tiger?
In his 8 years at Givenchy Riccardo Tisci has wowed with a dark, tough and stylish vision. A beautifully cut jacket below. A dream to wear I bet.
Maria Borges had a rocking skirt too.
Wonderful detailing
An unusual take on grunge below.
I would like to see the skirt in a more romantic vibe. Pretty.
Check the zip trim. That's creative baby. Love the shape it gives the skirts. Striped snakeskin booties you Slytherin Stunners.
This girl is on firrrrreeee!
Italian Gothic Horror Story.
Onion ring hair anyone? 
Prefer Ming Xi's cooler flavour?

Finally
Seriously kwl peeps attended this show. Jessica Chastain above looked lovely.
Frank Ocean swimming deep in style.
Amanda Seyfried you vixen!
Classy Ciara.
Sky Ferreira nailing glam grunge.
What the hell is going on here though?

Can't finish with that pic!
