An amazing series of photographs by collective NAM which where taken for the advertising campaign of a charity project named the Harbour City Chocolate Trail as part of the Hong Kong Blood Cancer Foundation. Using strings and cables to suspend objects and people, they created gravity defying environments that seem to be frozen in time, and without digital manipulations. See the behind the scenes in the video below.

Brand Spirit : every day for 100 days, I will paint one branded object white, removing all visual branding, reducing the object to its purest form. I can purchase each object for less than $10, it can be something I own, something another person gives me, or something I find.
About me : I work by day as a strategic agent of change at Carbone Smolan Agency, I study by night at the SVA Master’s in Branding program, and I’m on a perpetual quest for the perfect burger.

Zena Holloway Shoots Jaeger’s Look Book
Description trendland
Zena Holloway’s latest work “Frozen” (Jeager AW12 campaign) brings another level to editorial work. In a sense, it is a bit of a departure for her; although these images are underwater (as is all her work) they seem angular, sharp and constructed. A departure from her past work, which has more of a dreamlike and surreal nature. Here, in fact, at first glance it is not so obvious that it is shot in the water, one might think this a studio location, with a special lens, or lighting…. but, upon closer inspection, one begins to see, and feel, there’s more to it than that, the very subtle bubbles, a fluidity, softening and malleability that one feels. Then there’s a realization that water itself is acting as an aberrant lens. Stuart Stockdale, Design Director, Jaeger, says, “I love that these images have the sense of being frozen in a moment. The water accentuates the silhouettes of the pieces and the images make the colors more vivid.” These very subtle nuances are what make the images so strong and individual. “Frozen” stays within the construct of synchronized energy; the water, the composition, the fluidity of the model all meld into these beautiful final images.
Completely self-taught, Zena’s work is striking and instinctive. She is an innovator, and leader whose love for the sea, nature, solitary open spaces, and creative freedom is evident in her huge body of work. Holloway regularly shoots for a range of magazines and advertising clients who appreciate the unique impact of her colorful dreamlike imagery, completed a two year project to illustrate Charles Kinglsey’s 1863 novel “The Water Babies”, has several videos under her belt and has amassed a slew of photography and directors awards.

Taeseok Kang Handbag Collection
Description trendland
Have a look into the London College of Fashion’s Fashion Artefact program, which teaches studio courses in the use leather, metal, plastic and wood. One of our favorite finds is the work of Taekseok Kang, seen here, which touches upon “palpable sensations that manifest from the sexual instinct of a human”. Each one of these pieces was handcrafted using vegetarian leather, plated brass fixtures and hair used as tassels and handles. Humorous and surrealistic, we commend Kang for reviewing the status of bag materials, revealing taboos, and inducing our appetite for fresh fashions.
“MA Fashion Artefact is a provocative and original course. Since its development in 2007, it has become a renowned international think tank of individuals who explore provocative methods of production to create objects known as fashion artefacts. These artefacts challenge the norm, their existence question the role of the maker and consumer in the context of fashion design and culture.”
