a visual collective outlet of inspiration
hilarious! this sounds like it was recorded yesterday? except malcolm goes straight from unemployment and police brutality to selling clothes. punk became such a sell out, and i should know cause i’m related to joey ramone. by dd

the art of not blogging
oh child, spare me. everything i love about bill cunningham, is what i hate about scott schuman. they are the opposite poles in the same sector. bill is a spirit, the other pure flesh. bill is about life the other about fame. bill is about grit the other about flash. bill is about art the other about business. bill is about love… bill is humble… bill is light and the rest is darkness. in the end ,it does come to be about who you are as a person and bill is the epitome of all that i love about new york. no offense! when you become famous, you have to be able to take some shit. scott is surely loved and respected by many and i can be the one hater (not sure he can handle that). sorry i see no interest in satorialist or scott’s work nor his fame or how business smart he is. business smartness and fame mean nothing to me, if anything they tell me a bit about who you are and it’s generally not good. that brand is built on pandering to the status quo, not supporting the the fringe that feeds that status quo. when you photograph a bunch of vain editors and models after the shows you too can expect guaranteed traffic. bill just never wanted the attention or the fame or the money. i admire that tremendously. by dd
boyce & brown: a universe of possibilities
with tatiana cotliar (next). nice clip by ex creative director harrison boyce & director nathaniel brown. you may recall our posts on a similar style of work about a year or so ago, now you can add this to one the mix. with film becoming such an approachable medium and available to so many different disciplines, we are excited about the experimentation and possibilities it holds. something less literal and more poetic awaits us all. by dd

Agent Provocateur — Always Remember Your Agent Provocateurs
johan renck has done some very witty and interesting “shorts” for brands like h&m. for the first second, i didn’t think this one was quite up to par, but was going to include here because there seems to be a lingerie theme on TS of late. on the other hand, this vid for agent provocateur is actually perfect for them… energetic, funny, and just the right amount of crass and ass. featuring paz de la huerta of course. by kl
lanvin dance video: fall winter 2011
hmmmm…lanvin dance contest… i’m sure it will work and do very well given the audience, even though they may not be the actual clientele of lanvin. i saw this, over the weekend when a friend was bragging how great it was. i’m not 100% convinced, but i do like the fact that it breaks with stogy world of fashion and brings some lightness and fun into fashion. now while albaz is a cooky, fun fellow, the brand isn’t. H&M pulled it off well on the lanvin, lagerfeld, and viktor & rolf spots, i think this video which is a complete reference to burning rocks (fassbinders script) which we had posted ages ago. it’s not executed as well as it could have been, and places the lanvin house line quite close to the H&M lanvin line, and that is not very brilliant. by dd
