At the risk (once again) of KARLISMYUNKLE sounding like a Lady Gaga fan blog, here is the first promo for the Queen of content’s MTV VMA 2011 performance promo featuring a jazz version of You and I, as she strips off her bra on the piano.

One of my Hyères 2011 partners in crime, the gorgeous freelance writer and stylist (and ex-Louis Vuitton PR girl) Alize Morand from Blog de Tendances shared a brilliant video with me earlier today: Everything you need to know about Hyères International Fashion & Photography Festival in just over two minutes. The clip was written and edited by Antoine Asseraf and created by THE STIMULEYE and is the perfect piece of content for anyone attending who hasn’t had the chance to read up on the finer details of the 26th Edition of the festival.

This looks absolutely incredible. The cinematography and the plot look off the hook. This is the trailer for Sleeping Beauty (2011) by Julia Leigh. A geisha-style modern take on the fairytale classic, where a university student (Emily Browning) takes a job as a “Sleeping Beauty” and is subsequently drawn into a mysterious hidden world of erotic desire and a “need to know” what happens whilst she is sleeping. Trailer after the jump.

Tonight saw the launch of one of the world’s most exciting pop culture collaborations between Diet Coke and Karl Lagerfeld, which I have had the honour and privilege of working on for the last few months.

The first time that the two super brands collaborated was back in summer 2010, when Unkle Karl designed a limited edition bottle for France and Germany. This year, the campaign stretches across eleven European countries and features three new bottles, a range of accessories and an ATL campaign featuring models Coco Rocha, Heidi Mount et Jeneil Williams. Check out a selection of the ad campaign images below along with a great behind the scenes video featuring Lagerfeld talking through the shoot.

2011: the year of the doll – what does this say for nouveau feminism?

admin — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 13:12:13 +0000

The warped doll-like perception piece is definitely going to be making a comeback this year. Mattel’s profits soared in 2010 due to increased sales in Barbie dolls following the somewhat epic product placement of the doll in the movie Toy Story 3D. We then have personalities such as Nicki Minaj (a.k.a. Harajuku Barbie), the new adidas G.iconic campaign, and a the Barbie-inspired LOVE magazine spread with Alessandra Ambrosio that will be available in the magazine from 7th Feb. There is no denying that this is definitely going to be big this year. Maybe in the light of HD shoots and filming, brands and personalities are clocking the need for the vaseline camera lens appearance more than ever before. What this says for nouveau-feminism is still undetermined. Thoughts welcome.
