a good morning for some swedish gothesque – fever ray
this video reminds me of ‘light machine’ pieces by one of our favorite artists, xavier veilhan. i came across these pieces by accident while wandering london in 2003. the grid of light bulbs dance, and you can feel their heat as if they are alive. you can view a clip here. 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

i recently heard the chelsea hotel was to become a luxury condo or something, after being bought by some city gentrifying corp. what’s this all about? anyone knows anything about this? whatever, let’s watch one more time this great piece of new york that is andy’s chelsea girls. by pp
Ukraine: kazachok vs. run dmc now you know who came first

John lennon by sam taylor wood: nowhere boy
wow! now that’s a film that will not be missed by me. (when it comes here that is – released on 26th dec in britain) after all john lennon and george harrison were the only two that ever mattered in the beatles. anyhow, a film on lennon by artist sam taylor wood sounds very promising even though i have yet to see a great film done on a great person. as godard once said, you can not make a great film from a great novel but you can make a great film from a crappy one… something to that extent. i still have not seen the film on serge, but it’s on the list. the film “nowhere boy” feels much more raw and less produced and that’s a plus… bummer is i’m gonna have a hell of time believing that the vacant pretty boy is actually john! still can’t wait to see it. by dd

lara stone by “director” karl lagerfeld
poorly acted love encounters in a most unusual place, the fitting rooms at chanel. this wins the prize for the most naive and blatant abuses of love in the shameless service of commerce… director. it’s just one more thing that the great designer karl lagerfeld isn’t. lara stone however is always a welcome sight. by dd
