a visual collective outlet of inspiration 
vintage images from mmm, issey miyake and zucca. no particular reason, just because they’re so nice and all in the creamy tones, so, you know… and because no one ever did such a smart fashion show invit’ as the mmm. (kl, is it you on the zucca campaign? miss you). by pp

hermes – koto bolofo
ok, i’m really into seeing what’s in the back of brands, studios or people’s place. a voyeur bad habits that i share with a lot of people around considering the success of the selby or all the campaign that used him lately. so this is where the issue is, i’m growing very tired of
seeing brands jumping at every trends. it’s been two or three years that the selby guy is used over and over again in every possible way… come on guys! anyway hermes is doing what they done for many more years than the others and in a far subtler and classier way. it’s shot by koto bolofo and it’s published by steidl… can’t go wrong. more. by pp.

the art of smoking – fantastic man
smoking… too bad it’s so bad.
probably one of the best men fashion story ever in probably one of the best men fashion magazine ever. “the art of smoking” in a old issue of “the fantastic man”. by the way, i found this on nolayout, which is such a cool website. some editors of independent magazines, scan their babies and put it on the net… there is this dirty thing about the scanning business that feels like it’s from the 90’s, love it! by pp
