1948 is Nike’s creative playground-retail store neatly tucked away in the old brick railway arches between Shoreditch High Street and Curtain Road in East London. In addition to displaying and selling shoes, 1948 offers an entire art floor for events, installations and a social meeting point.
This installation in 1948 was created by Finland-born illustrator/artist/designer Kustaa Saksi who creates retro-futuristic kaleidoscopic imagery, daunting and irresistible. This installation is all about the historical fun journey of the Nike running shoe. Saksi is a Finnsh illustrator and designer living and working in Amsterdam, via Paris for four years. Saksi sprawling scene creation has a pop-art, retro feel familiar to his other works, and it fits perfectly with Nike’s history as a brand. Saksi’s Volkswagen van and psychedelic colors illustrate the pre-swoosh era in an earnest and deliberately clunky way.

American artist, Patrick Nagel created popular illustrations on board, paper, and canvas; most of which emphasized the simple grace and beauty of the female form, in a distinctive style descended from Art Deco. He is best known for his illustrations for Playboy magazine, and the pop group Duran Duran, for whom he designed the cover of the best selling album Rio.
In September, Taschen will publish Playboy founder Hugh Hefner’s illustrated biography in six volumes, combined with a chronological selection of highlights from the seminal men’s magazine’s first 25 years (1953 to 1979). Limited to 1,500 numbered and signed copies, the six-volume set comes packaged in a luxurious Plexiglas box and costs $1,300. Beginning with Hef’s youth and his boyhood comic collection and ending with the height of Playboy’s success, the anthology is billed as “the most probing and intimate portrait of Hefner ever made.”

Taryn Simon, Playboy, Braille Edition
The art collection of the C.I.A., cryogenic freezing units, braille editions of premier men’s mag Playboy and the only legal marijuana crop in America. These are but some of the images found within Taryn Simon’s investigative and particularly interesting portfolio. Plunging into her work like a dead weight in a deep ocean, Simon manages to colour in between the lines created by countless inquistive conversations and considerations.
Her work currently hangs on the walls of a few galleries around the globe, most notably at The Photographers Gallery in London until April 12, as a contender for the The Deutsche Börse Photography Prize, the Met in NY until March 22 as part of Reality Check: Truth and Illusion in Contemporary Photography and as of tomorrow, the OK Center for Contemporary Art (Linsz, Austria) till April 26th as part of the third Bienalle Cuvée.
Lui Magazine is the French answer to Playboy during the 60’s, created as soft-porn publication by French Journalist and photographer Daniel Filipacchi ( he is also the one who launch the French edition of Playboy and Penthouse ). Lui was really popular in France during the 70s and 80s and their covers were incredibly beautiful and original- see more cover here

Fashion & Sex, why ask for anything more? After the last issue ( and review ) with Lilly Cole, its now time for supermodel Anouk Lepere to pose. It’s actually pretty cool that the French Playboy decided to shoot sexy Models, rather than porn Star looking chics! Its no comparison to the American Playboy featuring Blonde Bimbos (sorry if you are one of those ). So once again we choose the French and Fashionable, please !
Lilly Cole for French Playboy, for her saccharine sixties-themed editorial, a complement to her teddy-and-me cover for the magazine. -
