Covers

I just came across the new AnOther Magazine cover for Autumn/Winter 2011.

Shot by Craig McDean and starring Rachel Weisz, this image is hauntingly beautiful.
From colour combination, to composition, to styling and make up, this photograph is simply perfect.

I haven't been so captivated by a cover since this...

... and now that I think about it it's not a very good thing, because the fact is that more often than not magazine covers don't live up to the expectations.

But there's exceptions, and amazing ones at that.

Fashion Films

As much as photography and print will always be the glossy medium to amazing campaigns, it's time to face the truth: videos and films are a more direct way to get the message across.
Whether it's a particular stylistic choice, a bold and funny concept or simply the perfect setting for a great collection, video is a great way to tell more complex and articulated stories.
 

Here's some of the best videos that have surfaced so far, produced to support Fall/Winter collections.

Dazed & Confused does the time warp for its September 2011 main editorial.

Mixing pieces from 2011 and 1991 collections the massive 3-in-1 editorial is shot by Kacper Kasprzyk and styled by Karen Langley, Robbie Spencer and Katie Shillingford.

Here's a little sample.

Still here.

It's been a while, summer got the best of me.
BUT I came back with loads of new inspiration.
First of all I finally managed to visit Stockholm, which is a breathtakingly beautiful city full of cultural fervor and amazing fashion.
Then came Pure London, with some brand discoveries and a line up of very interesting panels.

I'll make up for the lack of updates in the next few days, promise.
