mr. delhomme

was so happy the other day to find a super nice interview of mr. jean philippe delhomme on garance dore’s blog. rather unexpected place to read about the guy, but lovely nonetheless. seeing his work on campaigns or wherever is too rare but always so inspiring and nice! the book on his digital alias the unknown hipster is definitely a must for christmas. by pp.
