Foreign Correspondent: Footwear Designer Christian Kimber's Stylish Guide to Melbourne

Foreign Correspondent: The 8 Best Places to Visit in Copenhagen—Artist Sergei Sviatchenko's Collaged City Guide
When we asked renowned artist, architect, fashion photographer, and stylist Sergei Sviatchenko to tell us about his favorite places in Copenhagen, we knew we weren't going to get a run-of-the-mill list—but we didn't expect to receive eight original collages. We've been fans of Sergei's inventive, powerful, and often humorous collage work ever since the German book publisher Gestalten brought it to our attention with the expansive, two-volume book Everything Goes Right & Left if You Want It, which came out in late 2012.

Comparisons to James Dean were inevitable, thanks to Delon's chiseled features and impeccably cool style.
