A Thought of You.




Thought of you’ is a mesmerizing narrative created by Ryan Woodward that combines figure drawing, 2d and EFX animation with the beauty of contemporary dance.  Spellbinding and visually hypnotic, Woodward allows you to make your own interpretation of the short story:    
“Rather than creating a narrative animated piece that communicates a well defined story, this piece allows for each individual who views it to experience something unique and personal that touches their own sensibilities.”

Once Upon A Time...

Beautiful, spellbinding and visually sublime. Eugenio Recuenco's dark, theatrical photography enchants the eye and plays with the mind.

She has never been one to stick to convention...

...this is the story of a charming girl
she laughs out loud, sings off key and believes in taking chances
she is quick and curious and playful and strong
she lets her imagination run away with her
she has never been one to stick to convention
she is fond of daydreams that take her places
she can order a cocktail in six different languages
she feels that understated is overrated...
A film by Kinga Burza for Kate Spade New York

Savage Beauty

"People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with the dark side of personality"

Today is the day.  The long awaited exhibition dedicated to the late Alexander McQueen.  Savage Beauty.  And it speaks for itself.  The exhibition will feature more than 100 pieces of work from McQueen's career and ultimately celebrates his extraordinary contributions to fashion. McQueen challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond efficiency to an statement of culture, politics, and identity. His iconic creations blurred the boundaries between art and fashion, taking the darkest side of the imagination and transforming it into innovative and spellbinding creations.  Alexander McQueen was innovation.  He created new possibilities and challenged boundaries in a way so beautiful, he will remain forever as one of fashions greats... 

“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.”
—Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen:Savage Beauty, May 4 - July 31 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. http://blog.metmuseum.org/alexandermcqueen/

...And my ticker goes 'ouch'


...And here is a spellbinding example of how a song has the ability to make you feel.  Doesn't it just make your heart go 'ouch'?  The 14 year old musician managed to grab our attention when her cover of Skinny Love was chosen as BBC Radio 1's 'Record of the Week.'  And how thankful we are.  She has the subtle power to make those little hairs stand on end.
