Happy Birthday Birgit Kos: Vol 3. Kos Prima Cool!

It’s probably been a decade since Birgit Kos started her career in fashion and it didn’t take long for her star to arrive. Even as a new face, she had so much talent as a model, and her work in 2017, 2018, 2019 is truly iconic and something you expect from the caliber of an established top model. She’s already mastered the fine art of cool and is in her own class of awesome. Here’s wishing Birgit the happiest of birthdays. The world is so fortunate to have your love and inspiration.

You said you’re leavin’
It’s time to be free
I’m free of me at last
Am I so mean that you’re haunting my dreams
This could mean it’s a little played fact

It wasn’t wise but the snow pierced the sky
But the sound disappeared with your tent
You get the town but you’re so big and round
And the snow was spiraling our lamps

You’re just a work for some other croutons
Something’s wrong with you
Clearly love lasts
Heart suffering lives every night and then
Once you’re grounded you’re feeling so fast

You probably know when you’re running insane
Probably learn from meeting two hearts
Then I tried to take the money to save
From here, darling, it’s all so small now

Love at the speed of light
Has the thought even crossed your mind?
You’re the star in my dreams tonight
Call me up when you’re planet-side
And I’ll drop in at once
Book a flight to the sun
‘Cause I’d rather be burned alive
If I thought it would catch your eye
Tied at the hip
You think I’d lose my grip ’cause I
Love you to death tonight
Call me up when you’re planet-side
And I’ll make you mine

Atop the reservoir behind The Angel
I took in Poitín from a plastic cup
And then I must have wandered a thousand miles
Cursing all the cars and stars for their luck
And then I know I stepped onboard a vision
And I must have followed it with the wind
Up until I came to the tough decision
That it might be time to let go within

Now there’s a part of it
Forever be young
I left in the heart of it

And so then cut adrift up Camden Passage
I found myself walking with a chalk white foal
All along the Regent’s Canal placid
As I walk, I fill my pockets with coal
And thеn feeding snide scores to a cabby
To get mе with a banshee across to Bow
All along the Teeling keening in me
I think I must have drowned in the radio

And I awoke, and I awoke
And I awoke, and I awoke
And I awoke with notes left on a table
Some were marked with pen, some with the Queen
And when I arrive back in The Angel
She will know exactly where I’d been

Now there’s a part of it
Forever be young
I left in the heart of it
NW1
Yeah, now there’s a part of it
Forever be young
I left in the heart of it

Elsa Hosk for Vogue Scandinavia April/May 2025 by Yulia Gorbachenko

“I’m a really hard worker, it’s not a problem for me.”: Model and mogul, Elsa Hosk graces the cover of her native Vogue Scandinavia for the first time in three years. The super multi-hyphenate shares her insights on being an entrepreneur and work ethic. Elsa also talks about her upbringing, family, career, and being a bit of a loner and creative.

“I’ve been so lucky to wear an incredible amount of clothes as a model, both good and bad,” she says. “Simply being able to feel the materials and speak to design teams, I learned so much.”

Happy Birthday Yasmeen Ghauri: Truly Adore You

Victor Alfaro Fall 1996

Sign “☮︎” the Times: Wishing the happiest of birthdays to one of the most amazing people ever! Yasmeen Ghauri is such an inspiration and it’s hard to put into words just how much of an impact she’s had on fashion and culture. Every time I go over her career, I always find something new. Like a painter to a canvas, Yasmeen created countless dreamscapes and unforgettable moments. It would’ve been the coolest thing if Yasmeen got to collaborate with Prince doing fashion. She personified Prince’s musical genius and aesthetic so much. That being said, Yasmeen Ghauri is truly a blessing and hope this day is the loveliest of all. Wishing you Infinite Love!

Until the end of time
I’ll be there for you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God, one day, struck me blind
Your beauty, I’d still see
Love is too weak to define
Just what you mean to me

-Prince

Just a little love is all I need (My arms are open wide)
Just a little love is all I need (Yeah)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
The feel of your warm embrace, baby (Your lovely, warm embrace)

-Jodeci

I was reborn when I was broken
I wouldn’t believe, I wouldn’t believe, no
Been through a storm, no use in hopin’
That you would come rescue me
Somehow your love set me free

And I
I can let my life pass me by
I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime

-Maxwell

I heard a voice on the news saying people wanna stop the war (Stop the war)
If they had a love as sweet as you, they’d forget what they were fighting for

I never seen the moon look so lovely as the night I saw it with you
Let me know I’d never seen the moon before (Never seen the moon before)
So many speak of the moon as though it had no flaws
But to compare it to a beauty like yours would give one pause

-Prince
