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

for old times sake

when we were kids we would get dressed up as kiss, and managed to organize 2 concerts for our bored neighbors and poor families. all outfits where home-made from pajamas, my sister’s tights, the guitars where cardboards glued over tennis rackets and so on. make up was a bit more advanced, with blood capsuls that never worked and silver shadows, of course back then we had no idea what a jerk gene simmons was or how ugly paul stanley really looked. but that was then before family jewels and reality TV stole our dreams. found objects courtesy of pp. by rh

hapinesss is a warm… pipe

above: our old neighborhood bicycle repair man with his pipecigarettes are just a bad habit, built for fast pleasure, pipes are a slow ritual
for those who can afford time… and hell they are just as bad

cleaning up is just part of the pleasure and you though pipe smokers were harmless!

in an effort to quit smoking… cigarettes… i have polished up my old beloved pipes (boy am i going down the wrong path).  half of my collection is new, and the other half has been passed down from my dad. hopefully i am old enough now to pull it off… it somehow didn’t look right back in the 80’s. by uh

terry’s diary: terry richardson’s blog is finally up

olivier zahn and terry richardson, hah ha!

better late than never. terry’s blog is finally up and worth a bookmark. this will give olivier a run for his money, after all, with terry around, it seems like everyone thinks they can take pictures too. granted when you are olivier and have the right people around (as in backstage at chanel) it’s kinda’ hard to miss.

but for all that’s said about terry i have to say what is amazing about his work is not the photograph itself, its the situation and the energy he fabricates with such mastery with everyone and anyone, and that’s what is not easy to copy. otherwise yashikas are a dime-a-dozen. check out terry’s diary here. by bh
