Holly Miranda : Waves at Zebulon

i am always amazed and envious when someone can create such beautiful and transporting sounds with just their body (voice and instrument, sans electricity). leaving detroit and her family at the age of 16, holly miranda has been in new york for the past ten or so years and is finally deemed an ‘overnight success’. early into her move she was signed with BMG and recorded but vaulted the results and dropped the mega-label to be true to herself.  good perspective, and amazing voice.  please check out!  by kl

now prada, then ysl, who’s next?

so after ryan mcginley’s film for pringle of scotland (see below, which is my fav. by far), here is the prada movie. it’s much more of a moving fashion shoot with idiotic looking male models, but it’s nice still. then there is the YSL movie by bruce weber, very bruce weber-ish, what else can i say? so who’s next? what’s the thing with fashion houses making movies this season? by pp

Ryan McGinley & Tilda Swinton, who directs whom?

ryan mcginley films for pringle of scotland. is his style changing as production budgets change, or just time and evolution? either way i think it looks gorgeous; but i must admit, i am easily seduced by the colors. other credits include creative director neville wakefield, sound design by eric nagy, music by dogee mountain (interlude). the texture of the music is imperative to the full experience of these landscapes, even the clothes for that matter. but the recitations…meh. by kl

the party: adidas originals

 

much respect to the makers, it is not too often i would wanna look at a spot again and again, too bad the actual parties aren’t that cool .frankie valli & the four seasons’ beggin’ mixed up with prodigy’s fire starter back beat including the SFX/compression effects at the end… hell it works… it did for superga ; ) by dd
