CALLANAN F15 behind the photo-shoot camera

The CALLANAN F15 photo shoot had to go indoors as a result of the torrential rain on October 4th. The photographer koitz was nice enough to offer his home as the backdrop for the shoot.
Philip Rotter, as always, pulled the looks together on a shoe string.

Philip also does the hair and make-up.....

but when your canvas is as gorgeous as CONSTANZA, it kind of comes together a little easier.

KOITZ and his lighting assistant IBOTXO ( It's a Basque name) make magic happen, even when there is no sun shinning.

All this behind the camera action and we get this great photo.

Philip adds some light to koitz sideboard to create a nightclub feel and we get.

THE BLACKLIST FEDORAS

The Blacklist is the best nail-biting, pyscho drama on TV at the moment. The main charter "RED" is a psychotic killer who kills other criminals, whom he considers worse than himself, with the help of the FBI.

RED, played by James Spader, is a dapper fellow who is seldom seen without his fedora.

The Blacklist is an American crime drama television series that premiered on NBC on September 23, 2013. Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader), a former government agent turned high-profile criminal, who had eluded capture for decades, voluntarily surrenders to the FBI, offering to cooperate on capturing a list of criminals who are virtually impossible to catch. He insists on working with a rookie profiler by the name of Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone). The show also stars Ryan Eggold and Harry Lennix. The pilot episode was written by Jon Bokenkamp and directed by Joe Carnahan.Executive producers for the series include Bokenkamp, John Eisendrath, and John Davis for Sony Pictures Television, Universal Television, and Davis Entertainment.

In series 1, episode 2,  he is seen buying a hat. If you want the original hats that RED wears throughout the series, then visit the actual store. It is 
JJ HAT CENTER, 310 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY.
JJ Hat center is the oldest hat store in the USA, established in 1911.

In The Blacklist, RED prefers to wear Biltmore hats but you can pick up similar styles from Scala at your local hat shop.

Raymond "Red" Reddington, a former government agent and one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, surrenders at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He claims the FBI and he have similar interests in getting rid of dangerous criminals and terrorists. He makes an offer that the FBI cannot refuse and insists on one condition: Reddington will co-operate only with Elizabeth Keen, a rookie FBI profiler. Keen questions Reddington's sudden interest in her, but Reddington will only reveal that she is very special. After the FBI uses Reddington's information to locate a terrorist, Reddington reveals that this terrorist is only the first of many criminals that he will help them neutralize. Over the course of his own criminal career, he has made a "blacklist" of global criminals who he believes are dangerous to society, most of whom are unknown to the FBI.

As the series progresses, the stories of both Red and Liz unfold, with twists that involve other characters in the show.

RED is the type of guy that you want on your side always. Total best friend BUT your worse enemy type of guy.

Don't fuck with Raymond

• James Spader as Raymond "Red" Reddington, a former government agent and one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives. A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Red was being groomed for admiral when something happened on his way home for the Christmas holidays. He is known for brokering deals between criminals and is called "The Concierge of Crime". Red surrenders to the FBI and provides information on a roster of criminals that he refers to as The Blacklist: dangerous criminals who are so careful to avoid leaving any traces behind that the FBI has not even detected their activities.

What man dose not want to look as suave as "RED" Reddington?

He plays a former fugitive from justice-turned FBI collaborator in NBC drama The Blacklist. 

But James Spader looked a far cry from a criminal mastermind on Thursday as he shot the show dressed in a beige three piece suit, matching hat and smart black spotted tie. 

The 54-year-old actor may have got a little warm under the warm Coney Island Brooklyn sun and was spotted getting his face re-powdered in a break from filming.

Spader, who plays Raymond 'Red' Reddington on the show, was also spotted enjoying a sneaky cigarette in a break from filming. 

However, he later changed into a cooler outfit of white shirt and dark trousers, taking a rest on a nearby bench. 

The series began last year with Red's surrender to the FBI. He was able to keep his freedom in exchange for helping them catch criminals, revealing he has a 'Blacklist' of global bad guys he believes are a danger to society.

Beside the seaside: The actor was shooting next to Nathan's Hot Dogs on the boardwalk on Coney Island 

'The show is this strange amalgamation of a serial and a procedural,' he recently told Playboy. 'But if you watch it every week, if you care to stay with it this season, there’s also a much larger mythology to it. It has become something else. 

'People will see this season is different because we’re able to play with things that make a better show, like story and character,' he added.  'We’re not building a foundation anymore, which is what we spent last year doing. There are a lot of changes.'

And Spader is adamant that the true nature of his occasionally sinister character is drip fed to the audience rather than revealed all at once.

Take a pew: The star later swapped his smart attire for a white shirt and black trousers 

'I believe with all my heart that the best way to ruin this character is to tell too much about who and what he is,' he said. 'Part of that is a mystery. Just when you think you’re getting comfortable, do not get comfortable. Just when you think you have him figured out and you know what the boundaries and safe places are, you’re not safe. It’s never safe.

'The character is a funny, weird mix of things. He seems like someone who’d be tremendous to spend time with - great fun, compelling and so on - but be careful. I would be.'

In the break between the first and second Blacklist seasons, the star shot the Avengers sequel in London where he is playing crazed criminal robot Ultron. The film will be released next May. 

'By the end of the season, I was tired, tired, tired,' said James. ' Just weeks after we finished, I started working on Avengers: Age of Ultron, and I must say I got rejuvenated. I also found that I missed my Blacklist character a lot.'

JOHN GALLIANO has a new home.

We all make mistakes, say thinks that maybe we should not, but everyone needs a second chance when asked for forgiveness.

I hope that John Galliano has banished his demons and learned humility  as he is a super designer.

I met him a few time when he was a lad at Saint Martins college. He was always nice and always so creative.

Galliano Emerges From Exile to Head Martin Margiela

October 6, 2014 by MRketplace Staff Leave a Comment

Following three years of exile for inappropriate comments, British designer John Galliano is emerging from the shadows to take over the creative direction at Maison Martin Margiela, the house said today.

Galliano, 53, has been considered one of the most brilliant fashion minds in this generation but his antics and drinking got him into trouble in September 2011—hurling abuse at people in a Paris bar.

The Paris criminal court found him guilty of proffering anti-Semitic insults in public, an offense under French law, on two occasions in February 2011 and October 2010. The disgraced Galliano has been rarely seen since being conviction.

Big Plans for Margiela?
Due to his 15-year tenure at Christian Dior, Galliano may have been brought into Margiela to expand and upscale that brand. Galliano’s first show, for the “artisanal line” will be held during Paris couture week in January.

“Margiela is ready for a new charismatic creative soul,” said Renzo Rosso, president of president of Only the Brave, which owns a majority stake in Maison Martin Margiela. “John Galliano is one of the greatest, undisputed talents of all time. A unique, exceptional couturier for a Maison that always challenged and innovated the world of fashion. I look forward to his return to create that fashion dream that only he can create, and wish him to here find his new home.”

In a personal aside, Rosso said: “I couldn’t be happier, for the Maison Margiela, which deserves a new visionary leader, and for John Galliano, who is a talent beyond definition and time. I always believed in brave, unpredictable choices and this one is no exception.”

Fashion insiders reportedly believe Galliano was a real surprise, and not just because of his antics. Margiela, the Belgian founder of the house, was known as fashion’s “invisible man.” Galliano, on the other hand, is renown for his showmanship. His appointment suggests that Rosso has big plans for Margiela.

After weeks of speculation, it's official: John Galliano is returning to fashion to assume the creative direction of Maison Martin Margiela. "I couldn’t be happier," Renzo Rosso, president of Margiela's parent company, OTB, said in an e-mail sent to editors this morning. "For the Maison Margiela, which deserves a new visionary leader; and for John Galliano, who is a talent beyond definition and time." Given the controversy surrounding Galliano as well as his undeniable design skills, the appointment will no doubt cause a range of reactions, both for and against. Kanye West has already tweeted his approval: "It is very exciting to see what powerful creatives do at different houses... Hedi at Saint Laurent, Nicolas at Vuitton, and now John at Margiela."

On the surface, Galliano is a very different designer from the Maison's original and long-departed founder, Martin Margiela, so it will be fascinating to see what direction he now sets for the house. Continued Rosso: "I always believed in brave, unpredictable choices, and this one is no exception."

WHAT IS A FLAMENCO HAT AKA A GAUCHO HAT

A FLAMENCO HAT is a flat stiff felt hat made popular by Spanish Flamenco dancers and musicians.  In day to day life, it is a hard (pardon the pun) hat to pull off as it has a severe look.

Nothing says OLLE! Like a flamenco hats.


The hat is called a CORDBES hat in more formal circles and is also known as a SEVILLANO when worn as a dress hat by Spanish housemen.

Any time a designer wants to Spanish inspiration for their collection they send the models out in these classic Spanish hats.

Saint Laurent was the latest designer to use this hat silhouette for their spring 2015 collection.
