Are you guys ready for this?.. Gucci pops-up its Gucci-Icon Temporary Shop on Crosby St. in New York’s Soho tomorrow morning at 10 am with no intention of sticking around for long. “The boutique, its white-washed walls covered in the signature Gucci evergreen and red stripes, will pack up as soon as its wares — which include the Gucci Ronson sneaker, a collaboration with celebrity DJ Mark Ronson — are sold out.” says WWD…”the company is hoping to close the space even before its two-week run is over.” So if this event sparks any interest to you I suggest making it over this weekend, cause i’m sure it will be feeling even more bare bones after the first few days of sell through.

G-Nie Arambulo’s Boysen print ad campaign ‘Flowers’ won a Bronze Campaign Lion at the 2009 Cannes International Advertising Festival. This was the second ever Cannes Lion award won by the Philippines and first ever in the print category. The brief seemed straightforward – make flowers out of paint splashes – but it was indeed a simply-said idea with a much more complex process. Arambulo explained that every single part of the photographs [each petal, each color, each stem] was done individually with actual splatters of Boysen Paint, high powered, high-speed flash, a Hasselblad camera, and a Phase One Digital back. The project required “perfect timing, along with the right combination of lights, equipment, skill, and perseverance.” From a distance the ads may look like any other old photographs of flowers but get a little closer and it is clear they are far beyond that. These flowers were not from mother nature but, rather, man-made through and through.
