We introduced to the ingenious guerrilla art of Philippe Deliere aka Poster Boy exactly one year ago today (pure coincidence – see article here). How appropriate to praise his newer work today. Here is a compilation of collages created by Deliere using print magazine cut-outs. The guy really has a great sense of visual narration.
This brilliantly executed campaign for the “No Scratchy Label” concept of Hanes is so simple and so effective. Unfortunately I am unable to locate the agency that produced this but stay tuned in the comments to see who it is.
I have selected a range of work from the meticulous hands of New York based hairstylist Holli Smith. Her portfolio exhibits a great range of form and fluidity while portraying strong iconic looks. To see her full portfolio visit Community NYC and look her up. READ THE FULL STORY
Land of Giants : Cannibal Dolls
This is the sound that a ton of contemporary bands are trying to emulate. And if they did it this successfully, I’d fully support them. As it is, “Cannibal Dolls” was the a-side on the one record that Land of Giants ever released… in 1982. It’s paranoid ‘n’ eerie synth lines match its lyrics: “Lock up your children/Devils in disguise/Lock up your children/Devils in their ey-eyes.” The band recorded a number of other demos throughout the 80’s, which, in response to overwhelming requests, are now being released together, here…

Recent graduate of The Danish Design School MA program, Stine Ladefoged has shared with Trendland the process for creating her graduating collection as well as the inspiration and philosophy behind it. “In my final MA project, called ”Narcissism is Calling”, I’ve been inspired by postmodern influences, especially postmodern architecture and the typical postmodern human being, who wants to be in the center of attention,” said the designer.

Recent Harvard Business School graduates Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Carter Fleiss put their brains to work in favor of their love for fashion and after numerous business plans came up with the strategy for Rent the Runway, a concept that has been compared to Netflix. It is in hard economic times that some of the best ideas are born, finding ways to make the unattainable accessible to large demographics is a brilliant mission The duo has created an online platform making typically unattainable fashion accessible to a much larger demographic. Rent the Runway allows its members to rent designer dresses for up to 4 days with a modest range of $50 – $200, approximately 10% of their retail value. And for an additional $25 you can choose an alternate option to be shipped, in case the fit or style is not right.

I’m loving Adam Sennett’s photorealistic paintings of over the counter drugs and homemade grenades. The lighting and style makes the paintings reminiscent of 18th or 19th centuries household remedies and weaponry. See more of Adam Sennett’s painting here.
It comes as no surprise after graduating with an MA from Royal Academy of Arts and working as the accessories designer at Lanvin that Holly Fulton is the winner of Young Designer of the Year Awards at the Scottish Fashion Awards, and this is her second season showing with Fashion East following her debut in February 2009. Deeply inspired by art deco and 1960’s pop art her graphic aesthetic morphs into somewhat of a Futurist Robotica, a femme equipped with all the armor she will need to take her mission from day to night. Her philosophy borrows concepts and technique from couture fashion and translates it to ready to wear.
I discovered Swedish photographer Peter Gehrke when I was reviewing the FW 2009 Sandra Backlund collection awhile back. There was a magic present in those pictures that sparked my intrigue. It seemed as though the the clothing and the models were shot in different light and then merged together, but to be honest I was even questioning if it was a photo or an illustration because of softness of the girls. He images often portray a feminine heroine that is both striking and depicts a kind of nonchalance in her demeanor. I really could have featured almost every picture I saw, but Ill leave you some space to explore on your own. Check out Peter Gehrke’s website for many more photos.
Australian born and based self-taught painting addict Shane Devries has given into painting full time in the last year. He has one solo show under his belt and preparing works for his second show entitled, “From Somewhere Else”. The exhibition takes a peculiar journey through curious landscapes and introduces bizarre characters. The overall theme of floating and weightless objects invites our minds to wander and drift, while exciting our own imagination and curiosity. Along the exhibition he will be releasing a book of all his work and the sketches that led him to his final pieces. I can see his style developing into a great 3-D cartoon.
The show opens at Gallery 139 in Adelaide, 26th November 09.
