Cloud Series with Rudiger Nehmzow




This cloud series by Rudiger Nehmzow’s been circulated the web for a few weeks now.

The images are athereal on an entirely different level. Strapping himself down and using an oxygen mask, Nehmzow and his crew went into the sky with the airplane door wide open and shot this incredible series.

The tonal shades caught between cumulous and status states are both poetic and striking.

Here’s a still from the producer’s video. Enjoy!

 

Twitter Influencer: Hvass&Hannibal




Hvass&Hannibal is a multi-disciplinary arts and design studio based in Copenhagen. Since 2006, its founders, Nan Na Hvass & Sofie Hannibal have worked in a collaborative partnership, taking projects from esoteric illustrative beginnings to full design solutions, all in-house.

We love the zeal with which Hvass&Hannibal dive into every project large or small, constantly challenging their limitations and evolving as artists. Their portfolio of work is nothing short of impressive in both skill and scope and speaks for itself loud and clear. The Hvass&Hannibal twitter stream is a great place to stay abreast of the team’s worldwide jaunts, of course, get a taste of the vibrant personalities behind the names.

 

Emilio Cavallini: Magnificent Obsession




Emilio Cavallini is one of my favorite hosiery brands. I first discovered the label on Garance Dore’s site when she photographed Tennesee Thomas of The Like in oversized hearts.

Emilio’s abundant creativity and use of geometric cuts, optical motifs and strong colors has elevated leg wear to the level of wearable art. Since 1980, when the Emilio Cavallini brand was registered, the designer has been strongly expressing his determined style: unconventional, eccentric, ever changing.

Currently, Cavallini is working on an archive with the patterns and techniques he’s developed in his 40 years of design. He also nourishes his passion for current and ancient art.

This passion leads him to build art pieces of various forms and dimensions using tights as if they’re strings. Emilio Cavallini: Magnificent Obsession is a beautifully whimsical art book that is a true testament to Emilio’s dedication and passion for art and his creativity as a fashion designer.

Color: Moody Blues




For everyone who hasn’t seen Twin Peaks: watch it. I’m just coming out of a David Lynch binge, and my mind is bending. I’ve convinced myself time travel happens, owls are evil, and there are mysteries waiting for me in the deep, dark woods.  Maybe this is why I seem to be seeing everything in moody blues. In fashion, photography and interiors, I’m noticing deeper blues and suspicious moods, and I’m loving every minute of it.

Leopard Leaning Accessories




[slideshow id=27]

On my last trip to Paris, I snapped a tremendous reel of photos. The most prevalent theme throughout was leopard. From accessory overload to a visit to the Museum of Hunting and Nature, the accents were cool and accessible while still timeless. I added one of my favorite skirts as well, just to show how the pattern can transcend traditional styles.

 

Sparkling with Photorealism




We’ve all been watching photorealism evolve over the past few years. From cat humor to 80’s wolves to political commentary, if it’s on tumblr, it’ll soon be on a one piece bathing suit, a McQueen dress or a Threadless tshirt. Lately we’ve been noticing the celebration of jewelry on other accessories. From Dannijo’s iphone case to Lanvin’s satin scarf, the Man Repeller-coined term, arm party has leaped past the wrist and onto product. Are you a fan?
