Dario Argento’s 1977 cult horror classic Suspiria received critical acclaim for it’s visual and stylistic performance, use of colour and it’s soundtrack. But over 30 years later the film, widely considered an underrated horror classic, is set to receive a contemporary makeover.

Suspiria‘s story focusses on an American ballet student who transfers to a German dance academy controlled by a coven of witches. The remake, which will be directed by David Gordon Green, will be based on Argento’s original storyline with Isabelle Fuhrman (The Hunger Games, Orphan) set to play the lead. The cast, just revealed by Crime Scene Pictures, includes Isabelle Huppert (Amour,The Piano Teacher), Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs, The Woman in Black), Michael Nyqvist (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and Antje Traue (Man of Steel).

We’re not sure how this remake will pan out but one thing’s for sure; Suspiria is a work of art, full of subtle choices amongst the epic production design and when Green begins filming this September there’ll be thousands of Suspiria fans waiting with baited breath. But with costumes by three time Academy Award winner Milena Canonero (Marie Antoinette, Chariots Of Fire, A Clockwork Orange) this remake, due out in 2013, is looking promising.

The Lego Artist [yes Lego Artists do exist] Mihai Marius Mihu stated about the product: “I didn’t read the Divine Comedy, only the small descriptions of the circles I found on the websites. I didn’t want to be much influenced by the original descriptions because I wanted to give a whole new fresh approach for each circle.”

Marius Mihu takes us through all nine circles in order from; Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud Treachery.

Jeffrey Campbell has easily taken the fashion world by storm this year.

The Damsel shape is already a colossal hit, with its structured silhouette and wedge platform, but the additions of those seductive yet dangerous gold spikes make this model our favourite yet. A refreshing break from the Lita and Cleata models that have become so popular over the last few months.

Meeting the creator of Meat Clothing Boadicea Claridge last year I just knew that this girl was different, it was obvious she had set out to win, and wasn’t going to take anything less. Teaming up with Alis Pelleschi for the first show proved not surprisingly a damn smart thing to do, and with the involvement of Alexis Knox and Mimi Wade the campaign launched with exactly the right tone needed.

Check out the Meat Clothing Campaign on Alis Pelleschi’s site.

Greying elastic and saggy cotton just won’t cut it, and with the growing trend for underwear-as-outwear, stylish smalls are anything but unmentionable. We run through some of the more exciting, innovative and unusual lingerie and bodywear around.

Strappy

Peeking out across necklines, backs and waists, decorative strapping teases flesh and gives a hint of kink. Nichole de Carle is known for this look, teaming webbed briefs and chest braces over shirts and dresses.

For something a little darker, Karolina Laskowska’s pentagram playsuit draws the symbol across naked backs, which would look perfect underneath a more conservative low-backed dress. Bordelle are masters of the bondage-beauty look, covering their designs in flexible straps that stretch over curves in a seductive manner.

Harnesses

Out of the dungeon and into the boudoir, harnesses have been a staple catwalk trend in the past year.

Ranging from more sturdy buckled leather pieces to more flexible and feminine rope and ribbon creations, harnesses can be used to accessorise a lingerie-look, or over the top of other outfits.

Stylenoir favourites Fleet Ilya and Zana Bayne are big-names in leatherwear. For a more unique and dramatic look, Mint Siren’s skirt and thigh harnesses are sure to attract attention.

Legs

Tired of mock-suspender tights? Swan Clothing make fantastic garters that give a slightly masculine, uniform-esque feel to pretty socks. They come in sizes to fit calves or thighs and definitely give a bit of a unique twist to an outfit.

If you prefer the real-thing, Kiss Me Deadly excel on multi-strap suspender belts and longline girdles that nip waists and give a touch of classic glamour.

Other eye-catching legwear comes from French designers Les Queues de Sardines. Their bold, bizarre and often quite surreal designs (which include bears, arrows and amputated limbs) are colourful really like nothing else around.

Waists

A good corset is a wardrobe staple, providing shapewear and support under an outfit or playing the main attraction, clinching in waists, accentuating curves and turning heads a-plenty.

Sian Hoffman‘s covetable corsetery gives wearers a dramatic and elegant shape. Expert in tight-lacing, her sensual and feminine pieces have an air of the exclusive about them and are some of the best around.

Other favourites are Twilight Siren‘s cut-out cage-design corsets.

However, statements in the Australian system use the words sex and gender interchangeably which could confuse matters. It seems that, in Australia at least, a third sex is catered for; but what about the third gender?

At a very early age I began to question my own gender, I was definitely not one of the people who ‘always knew’ that they were trans or that they weren’t. Instead, the female aspects of my identity slowly revealed themselves to me, and at the age of fifteen I knew only that people were gay or they were straight. I had no concept of Transgenderism and so I attached myself to the first identity that seemed to fit and presented myself very definitely as a gay male. It was not until three years later that the feminine aspects of my personality became more dominant. For instance at fifteen I began to wear makeup and to find men attractive, however as I grew into my later teens my idea of ‘sexy’ became one of slipping into Agent Provocateur lingerie.

Though as a conservative person the idea of slipping into female underwear with a male body conflicted with the perception I had of myself, I began to realise I felt I should have been born with a female body. It was around this time, simply through growing up and becoming wise to the world, I became aware transgenderism and trans-sexuality. By the age of eighteen I had moved away from home and later began to wear a wig and heels, occasionally, I presented myself as female. It soon became obvious to me that I felt more comfortable than ever outwardly displaying a female appearance and at the age of nineteen I came out as a transsexual female. It all fitted perfectly, I changed my name and title, began to change my appearance to the way I always imagined myself looking and I began to live my life as a woman.

Towards the end of the last two years however, I’ve started to question my transsexuality. Although presenting a female appearance feels right to me, and my idea of feeling sexy is still that image slipping into some lacy lingerie with a female body, I don’t feel like a woman, in fact I’m not sure I’ve ever felt like a woman . But here’s where it gets tricky; I don’t feel male either. Could I be one of the third gender, or does a third gender sit too close to the obsolete idea that we are all male or female?

We’ve written before that gender is not a binary and it is now widely accepted that gender doesn’t work in this traditional binary of male or female. But I’m beginning to think that gender is not a linear sliding scale with male and female at each end either. Now I describe gender as a triangle, inside which each person’s gender sits somewhere unique between the three points; Male, Female and Neither. This triangle shows the almost infinite possibilities of what a person’s gender might be.

I know that a person’s gender doesn’t always match their sex, but I’m slowly learning that it doesn’t have to. After everything I’ve learned from others’ and my own experiences, I realise everyone is on their own path, every single person’s gender lies at a unique point within the triangle and as long as I’m comfortable with where my own sits, I don’t need to give it a name or any one label.

The incredible and New York Times bestselling book Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, is possibly one of the greatest books you will read. Dynamic, haunting, beautiful and peculiar. The author Ransom Riggs has simply created a masterpiece.

Turns out though, we’re not the only ones to think so. Tim Burton has signed up to make Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children into a film. Although the details are still sketchy, IDMB has now acknowledged the project, and cited a 2013 release date.

While no detail is available about who may also take part, there is no doubt within our mind that if Ransom Riggs and Tim Burton come together on this incredible story, the world will be a better place.

Those two minds together, will create magnificence like we have never seen before.
