a journey

by gu fan

just lovely

A film by Tom Ford

a single man

directed by the infamous tom ford looks to be an exciting release. it seems to be both visually rich with an interesting story. we have to wait until february 2010 for the full picture..can't wait.

here's the trailer...

gaslight thriller fashion

this exquisitely beautiful feature was inspired by the 1944 film, gaslight. whilst it has that retro, horror feel to it, i think in contrast it has quite a romantic, dreamy element to it.

i love the whole layout; the chosen colour palette, the typography and the simplicity of it all.

seen as a feature from hint.

beautiful editorial shots by photographer justin wu. soft but sexy.

model elliott conway..marry me?

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

special note to fab blog, http://alive.tom.com/ good work.

this beautiful photoshoot was taken from f.tape

backrub...? nahhh, google

i spotted this great you tube clip from another blog- 'joes[a]fiend'....thought it was so good that i'd pop it on my own.

the life story of google...take a peek

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.
