The fashion observer

> Music innovator Invisible DJ  has teamed up with fashion designer LnA to create The Music Tee, a T- shirt that is creatively designed to contain “album art” on the front, and a track list on the back. Each shirt comes with a hang tag printed with a URL and a unique code; each code will allow the owner of the shirt to download one copy of each of the tracks printed on the shirt from the Music Tee Room on LnA’s website.

Invisible DJ has launched in California with the idea that ” all things are possible”. They merge music and fashion creating unique platforms for music to be discovered.

A great example of innovative ideas that works building sinergies and brand partnerships in order to build strong new concepts.

>  Walter Raes comes from an artistic family in Belgium and moved to London in 1989. After living in the UK, he observed, “I think that what is thrown away in London and around the world is criminal; it’s from these consumer society throw-outs, that I make my designs.” For the last 6 years, Walter’s obsession has been creating WEARABLE & DESIGN ART entirely from household and industrial materials, frequently recycled from skips. His artistry is totally inspired by these rejects. In short, he takes the disposable remnants of our everyday lives to create his brilliant pieces, explorations in form and function. Isabella Blow, the late international fashion guru, was very passionate about Walter’s art. She included his Video Tape Boogie Dress in her article Avant Garbage, alongside Galliano and McQueen designs, with the following quote: “What is so exciting is how Walter is able to transform the objects in such a way that the original use is hidden.”

Working along his own lines, outside the normal fashion seasons, gives Walter the freedom to create his work from recycled materials that spontaneously excite his talent and approach the challenge of creating WEARABLE & DESIGN ART. He´s an innovative representative of a ” recuperation couture”  that enriches with brand new concepts just launched.

> ”Miles Aldridge’s images depict a stupendously glossy and magnetically vibrant world with ultra slick, hyper-lit models, signature acid tones, and mysterious narratives. Cinematic expression marks Aldridge’s work; his dream-driven, erotic style has been compared to Bergman, Bunuel, David Lynch, and Hitchcock. Aldridge is first of all an artist of the subconscious, secondly a fashion photographer”.

Now he´s showing a complete overview of his fashion photographs together with pictures for photographs at Steven Kasher gallery ( NYC). “ Scrawled in pen or pencil, the black-and-white drawings generate ideas for potential photographs and map out series of pictures like a film storyboard. Sometimes dotted with raunchy hand-written notes — such as “green/yellow bra” or “painting nipples with lipstick” — Aldridge’s drawings are crucial to his photographs”.

M·A·C Cosmetics is taking part of this project as has a long- standing relationship with Aldridge as they have collaborated on nearly every beauty image for the brand over the past 5 years a.

Miles Aldridge: Pictures for Photographs will be on view May 28th through June 20th, 2009 at Steven Kasher Gallery ( 521 W. 23rd St., New York, NY 100119
