Alternative Advent by David Wilson

I don’t really like Christmas. having said that, I know I just lost half of your attention but let me clarify that and defend my thesis. Actually, in my defense I have one question: Is the end of the world coming? I guess I am not the only holiday pessimist. I guess, some of the winter wonderland occupants put more

The Day The World Went Away

There is only one description for Pierre Debusschere‘s work: epic. His latest fashion films, The Lake and The Day The World Went Away (as well as the project for Nowness and  AnOther Man) are just another confirmation of this fact. Mr. Debusschere ignites a chain reaction of goosebumps allover my body with the combination of striking visuals and sound that

L.A. by Dior

First the hype, and now the fashion film. In this case, the hype was worth it. Dior invited director James Cameron Mitchell to direct Marion Cotillard in this video which captures the L.A. culture in a funny and ironic way. A comedy drama with a cinematic feel that has embedded the clothes organically – without putting them in the main

Slava Mogutin: ULTRAVIOLETS

Photography: Slava Mogutin You’d say that I’m over-obsessing with the mint green color placement on the new Grateful Grapefruit. In my defense I can say, that it’s all a lucky coincidence. Just like the fact that the opening image of Slava Mogutin‘s Ultraviolets fashion editorial for Flaunt Magazine (US) is deep-died in mint green. The Men’s Fall Fashion Issue

Printed Matters #1: meat

Guess what – print still does matter. You can make an awesome online publication, but you won’t get further with it. Print has definitely not the same value it had at its peak. Thus, it has a different position now. Buying print magazines is luxury; owning and collecting them has turned to a lifestyle not everyone can afford. I remember

Paris for horny nerds

This is going to be my first post on Grateful Grapefruit and I’m truly excited. Christo and I shortly discussed the topics I could cover here and we agreed on something travel related. My greatest passion. Although I wanted to travel the world from day 1, my adventures started a bit later, when I visited Paris for the first time.

Reinvent Beards With WAD

You know that we at Grateful Grapefruit easily get excited by facial hair. We on the other side know that right now the whole fashion and style world is going bananas over beards. And they know it works. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t write up this post presenting interpretations on facial hair. To promote their partnership with Braun, WAD Magazine created this

Jaime Carrera

I came across Jaime’s videos maybe a week or two ago, when my good friend Pino showed me a video of a struggling musician in an over-dramatized music video showing a bearded guy with a guitar wonder the streets, collecting coins from the ground and playing in an empty venue. Of course Pino was drooling over the guy, however I

The venue – the legendary oyster-shaped building of Haus
