celine trying to be street with daria werbowy and a skateboard, shot by juergen teller…kinda corny but i like it. not sure how i missed this, or graffiti artist kidult’s SK8 tag on the celine paris store, seems like a pretty convenient collab rather than a protest, either way i’m sure celine got some press out of it. by m+m

cute little films by photographer daniel jackson for barneys coop spring 2012… nice idea but i’m not sold on the product… kl you’d find it funny that there is tramp stamp story in there ; ) by jb+dd

after robert longo, nan goldin, sam taylor wood and others, it was a good surprise to see bottega veneta collaborating again with an unexpected artist for their campaign. robert polidori set the campaign in a venice palazzo which reminds me of his work in versailles… unfortuately i’m not sure i like the shots with the lame model, but it’s always nice to see these rare people at work in the behind the scenes. by pp.
