Luigi Conali is a futurist designer from Germany. Conali has always been the pioneer of creating automobiles. Conali is known for designing for speed. He worked with Farrari, Mustang, Honda, just to name is few.

In 1982, Luigi started heading east. First to Japan, and then China. He spent his past 10 years in various Chinese University as a Professor. He fonds on Chinese and said that the Chinese is "the dream maker" in one of his interview.
Luigi said" You pick up a pen, draw it.
They took your drawing, and make it until the product is done."

Nathaniel Goldberg - Hermes - On the Silk Road








I think Nathaniel Goldberg (w/ Art and Commerce ) has been doing strong, beautiful work lately.
I used to keep an eye out for his spreads in V Magazine, always in studio, on white, and really well executed,
but his recent spreads have shown his true reach and versatility.

He has done some beautiful shot with Gucci, Bally, Flake, Number 10 Magazine, etc. In last season, he has done a photoshot for Hermes called "On the Silk Road", about the silk scarf collection for the company.

He has fully expressed his vision along with the versatility of the product. I can’t think of many photographer’s out there who are at the same time so specific and diverse… Most of all though, his work is right up my alley, a nice balance of playful, pretty, edgy, and still technically competent.

Well done, Nathaniel.

Acne Jeans SS08 with Daniel Jackson






Acne Jeans was established a few years back. They started up as a jean company.
They expanded their lines into clothing and accessories
and has been receiving enormous success.

Daniel Jackson on the other hand is a Fashion photographer, he shot for I.D. magazine. H&M "Fashion against Aids" is probably one of his most recognized projects.

In SS08, Acne Jeans hired Daniel Jackson to create their SS08 lookbook.
That not only proved that Acne now has bigger budget to spend on.
And I am very exciting for Acne
because Daniel Jackson has did a tremendous job in expressing this collection through his lens.
