HUMöR The Danish Flavor

humor4 HUMöR The Danish Flavor humor3 HUMöR The Danish Flavor

HUMöR from Denmark is an interesting menswear line, their philosophy is to create a style which mix materials, designs, details and colors to create an overall look. ” We are working on a total look, which is heavily influenced by the metropolitan underground music. The DJ culture is alive and kicking in New York, Berlin, London and Copenhagen.” A major source of inspiration in this connection is Tokyo´s Shibuya area, where the fashion crowd is giving an entirely new meaning to the word paint box.

“One in a Million”

” In an era of mass production, genuine craftsmanship stands out. Dont forget about the collectors’ items of the winter season. These are truely one-of-a-kind pieces, each made with as much care as a painting in a museum.”

burberry hand painted feather sweater One in a Million

This is an editorial from the Winter issue of V Man,  that drew me in so deep. It is a forgotten art to create garments with so much love and craftsmanship. And to juxtapose it with this style of photography seemed so moody and appropriate. I can not figure out if photographer Richard Burbridge really played withe lighting or if the images we masked in post. Either way it was a brilliant execution for this project of highlighting the true craft of each piece.  I Nearly died when I saw the piece above by Burberry, a cashmere sweater with hand sewn and painted feathers! what!

Pin-Up by Mel Ramos

ramos ac annie Pin Up by Mel Ramosramos vantage Pin Up by Mel Ramos

American Pop Artist, Mel Ramos is famous for his 1960’s paintings of Pin-up calendars and magazines , I Love his series on the Pin-up, its just Amazing!! [little parentheses Pin-ups are arriving strong as a Trend in Fashion Inspiration boards]. His work is humorous as he often poses the women with large, out-of place objects and gives the paintings amusing titles ( AC Annie, Lola Cola ). His work can also be described as Superrealism.

See the Virtual Book about Mel Ramos here
