it's not all about london

i love love love our capital, london...however when it comes to art and design it feels like people have the misconception that london is the only place with a bit of talent. whilst there is a huge buzz in london and i would love to live there after my degree to pursue my career, i think it is important to not forget that there are extremely talented people all over the country. when scouting on f.tape for roar talent i spotted some nottingham trent applications and was pretty proud. here are some of my favourite up and coming designers and photographers NOT from london

first up, nathan small- photographer from nottingham trent

www.nathansmall.co.uk

next...gabrielle schoenenberger- fashion designer from northumbria universtiy

...annabel scopes from university of brighton with a BA (Hons) in fashion textile design with business studies specialising in knit

last but not least ana belen merono is a BA (hons) fashion design graduate from nottingham trent university

Marko Mitanovski

LFW 2010 spring

one to watch out for is serb designer Marko Mitanovski. the detail in the clothing is amazing, with a simple colour palette it is the cut of the garments and the textures which shine through, and of course these amazing hair antlers. absolutely love the innovation used for this show.

10/10

dream & awake

a really great website; dream&awake.

i'm not sure if i'm a massive fan of their clothing, but i love the gallery section, especially as it features one of my favourite photographers lina scheynius, who i have blogged about before. the whole layout of the website is great, its quirky and interesting with many visual elements. it reminded me of the fantastic books, the goddess guide by gisele scanlon.

here are a few screen prints of the website:

good morning light

"good morning light is a peaceful book-maker making books and artworks of limited edition, founded by gu fan and tinkle, june 2008, based in beijing, China.

Everything we’ve done are due to love for writing, drawing, film, music and beauty of sunlight.

being simple and natural is our way."

i couldn't have described 'good morning light' any more beautifully than they did on their own website. they hold online exhibitions, and a few of the photographers really caught my eye. first of all this is justin waldron, currently living and working between new york and japan. the images which have been created i think are so special. they hold a naivety and fragility to them. i'm not sure why, but i always think there is something intriguing adn often very beautiful about a photograph of someone with a camera, it seems so insightful.

untitled magazine

i've come across this magazine 'untitled' and think it looks absolutely beautiful. it reminds me of the magazine lula which i love. delicate, soft photoshoots, with attention to typography and graphics and illustrations throughout.

OUR CITY DREAMS

"Filmed over the course of two years, OUR CITY DREAMS is an invitation to visit the creative spaces of five women artists, each of whom possesses her own energy, drive and passion. These women, who span different decades and represent diverse cultures, have one thing in common beyond making art: the city to which they have journeyed and now call home - New York. "

OUR CITY DREAMS WEBSITE

"Our City Dreams is a documentary by Chiara Clemente, who has a unique talent for making intimate portraits of people and capturing the feeling of a person's world. It follows five women artists who live and work in New York and explores not just their work but their relationship to the city they love."

mother's* mission: to make coca cola as renowned for summer as it is for christmas

this was the outcome:

when an infamous brand such as coca cola tries something new, it is always interesting to see what they come out with. earlier this year, the coca cola team decided that their summer adverts must be as iconic as the christmas ones.

the christmas advertisements, with the well known 'holiday's are coming' slogan create nostalgia and excitement all over the world...quite a feat to live up to.

the summer collection is different and quirky....goodness knows where they got their inspiration from, but i quite like them! shame i didn't see them over the summer, or was that just me?
