Beaufort West, 2006. Copyright Magnum Photos
At the half-way point along South Africa’s great highway – the N1 running from Cape Town to Johannesburg – lies the small town of Beaufort West. With its prison in the middle of town, on an island in the highway, it’s a surreal road-stop that offers everything a traveler might want – food, gas, a place to stay, an hour of sex… Mikhael Subotzky considers the town, its vivid characters and poignant social landscapes, in a photo essay that confronts central issues of contemporary South African society. -

A private house in the heart of suburbia, Celluloid Jam looks like it dropped off another planet. But to architect Norisada Maeda, its futuristic form was just the thing for his clients’ hilltop plateau at the edge of the Japanese city of Yokohama

Dian Hanson, sexy book editor of Taschen says: ‘Yesterday’s porn is today’s historical interest. For many, the curiosity of all that surrounds the figures is entertaining: the old hairstyles, the clothing, if any, the furnishings, but there’s also the argument that many old photos are of better quality.’

Paris Fashion Week S/S 2011: Womenswear Collections: Day Six
Wunderkind
The skirts at Wunderkind – printed with cheerful cherries, strawberries and pansies – were some of the perkiest we’ve seen in Paris. Fluffed up with multiple layers of crinoline, they swagged and bounced with deep pleats revealing hidden gingham prints. The sweetness was contained only by fitted khaki or navy cotton mens’ jackets. With large striped hose and their hair pulled into 4 simultaneous ponytails (their scalps divided like plots of farm land), the models appeared to be a mix of Dutch maid and posh Pippi Longstocking. -
