Albert V, Duke of Bavaria

Albert V (German: Albrecht V.) (29 February 1528 – 24 October 1579) was Duke of Bavaria from 1550 until his death. He was born in Munich to William IV and Maria Jacobäa of Baden.

Albert was educated at Ingolstadt by Catholic teachers. On 4 July 1546 he married Anna of Austria, a daughter of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor and Anna of Bohemia and Hungary (1503–1547), daughter of King Ladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary and his wife Anne de Foix. The union was designed to end the political rivalry between Austria and Bavaria. In 1550, Albert succeeded his father as duke of Bavaria.

Ensemble

Maxwell Boko and Mmuso Potsane for Mmusomaxwell

Spring/Summer 2021

Mmusomaxwell is a ready-to-wear womenswear fashion brand based in Johannesburg, South Africa, founded in 2016 by Maxwell Boko and Mmuso Potsane. Boko and Potsane met as contestants on the TV show The Intern, run by designer David Tlale, where they competed to present at South Africa Fashion week. Mmusomaxwell are known for their tailored, minimalist designs, aimed at cosmopolitan working women.

This ensemble is from the Imbokodo collection, released for Spring/Summer 2021. Through this collection Boko and Potsane wanted to critique notions of a woman’s place in society, especially in traditional African cultures. The collection featured 27 pieces in a mixture of bold shapes and colours (mainly yellow, blue, red and black). Many of the designs drew on elements of a man’s suit, with the designers exploring power dressing, and the power suit, as a tool for female empowerment.

[weskie]

Sorry if that question is stupid but do you have a Wesker picture you absolutely love and is your favourite? Doesn't matter if game Screenshot, official Art, fanart etc ^^

it's gotta be this one for me. there's something about it that just drives me clear up the wall. he looks so determined, but he also looks very soft at the same time. brows furrowed just a bit like he's deep in thought, eyes such a pretty shade of amber, light stubble, forehead just begging for a lil kiss, THE LITTLE FRECKLES??? AUUUGHHHH

yeah, it's this one. i'm very partial to any stars wesker pics as well or fanart where his hair isn't styled and it's falling over his forehead a bit. just absolutely adore them all

[royallyobsessedx]

It's even more beautiful in real life. Albert was a real one for this design, I get it Vicky I really do.

They have enough gold to pay for therapy for both of them 🕶️👔

Well... Yes, I have long wanted to make a gangster AU based on the Resident. And finally it happened! I am very happy about it! Because I took as references probably my second favorite series of games after Resident Evil - GTA. You can only guess who the third person in their criminal gang might be hanging out with 🙆

I will develop this AU further, but remember... We still have a comic ahead (which, although it follows the main events, is still different from the canon, and a future story about the children of Project W). Enjoy the chase 🚸

Personally? I think Wesker is a sociopath, not a psychopath. At the very very least, some sort of ASPD.

Source? Trust me bro, I google it :v

Apropriyeyshin

Laduma Ngxokolo for Maxhosa AFRICA (South Africa)

Spring/Summer 2017

The Apropriyeyshin dress is part of the 2017 Spring/ Summer collection, and was one of the first dresses to be made by Ngxokolo. With this collection Ngxokolo wanted to address cultural appropriation, but from a positive angle, recognising the way fashion can be used to celebrate different cultures and material traditions. For the collection he combined his staple Xhosa inspired patterns with traditionally western silhouettes, in this instance a form-fitted knitted maxi dress. Ngxokolo recongises that in wearing his Xhosa inspired clothes there is appropriation of sorts, yet he insists that there is a “way the people of that culture feel empowered by this form of expression”, by ensuring the recognition of Xhosa heritage within the collection.
