Avant-garde Shooting

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 16:10:00 +0000

I had a really exciting 12 hour day. I did a photoshot for my new Avantgarde-haircollection today.

Really exciting because I did 4 different hairdressings and I also wanted to capture them.

Multitasking and the big help from all of my models and assistant was the key. I am really happy with the results, but i also don´t want to hide my secret-passion.

Backstage-pictures from the "process".

Thx to all for such an exciting day.

Spray

Today I stepped out of my front door and saw this little piece of art sprayed on the ground.

Urbanity as it's best.

Suddenly Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:36:00 +0000

I was invited to a "studio-party" from the new web-late-night show "Berlin F**king City" directly from Berlin-Kreuzberg.

Weirdly entertaining, but i love the toilet-design.

Outdoor Photoshoot

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 19:54:00 +0000

Thursday morning 10am with the cold wind around my ears.

We have only two hours to do 4 different fashion-photos for a contest.

I took tons of great pictures, but this one is my favourite. a great behind-the-scenes picture took by one of my assistants.

Thesis

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 09:45:00 +0000

I've been flooded with work for the last six months, working on my thesis which is about patina of objects as mean to appropriate.

Reading, writing, interviewing is the trilogy.

I just came back for Paris where I did the first part of my ethnography.

I had the chance to meet with some very interesting people who simply shared their life experiences with me.

Next stop, NYC.

Anyway, my ED-47's haven't aged much even though I've been wearing them a lot lately. Maybe I should change my current lifestyle in order to get some results???

Location Scouting

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:44:00 +0000

I want to be well prepared for the next photoshoots I want to do. enjoying this perfect sunny day and travelling around in the area of my city.

WOW i´ve found some really old and hidden places....it must be 30 years old, telling stories from a nearly forgotten country.

Daniel, meet Patrick

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:44:00 +0000

Today was an awesome day...

I met one of my tinker-tailor buddies from the project. Patrick Guidot from Paris
came around for a new haircut. He's here in Berlin for just for a few months to doing a lil painting-project.

A great chance for a picture with two "project-denims"

Château Louis XIV

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 09:57:00 +0000

I'm so busy with work at the moment, assisting the master (Look few posts behind) in painting the roof and dome of a castle in Louveciennes, near Paris.

Quite old techniques...

I still pass time to work on my own frames.

Loic made a really good drawing about these nights spent in my studio.

Interchangeable Labelry

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 14:20:00 +0000

There is only so much you can customise on a pair of denim before it become over kill.  

But I guess one of the main features that you can mess with is the leather labeling on the back of genrally most denim. I had a few idea's and i know i'll have more so i decided to make it interchangeable.

Firstly I added eyelets to the actual denim where the label goes as a attachment device. Then you can thread leather or whatever it maybe to fasten the labels on.

Once I'd done all that I stripped the denim of all the Edwin branding to make my own branded label. Adding a key chain tipe label to one of them, which is not secured properly (accidentally) so you it actually doubles up as a key chain, if you don't lose it.

After i'd made that label i'd totally ran out of Edwin branded materials so i started experimenting with other ways of making my own branded labels and here are the results.

Watch this space, there's more labelling to come!!

I stayed in Amsterdam over New Year and had chance to visit Tenue de Nîmes to see what all the fuss was about.

They have the largest and most diverse range of denim in Amsterdam, presented on a massive denim wall made out of antique beams!

Happy New Year!

Saint-Saulge

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 17:16:00 +0000

Two weeks ago I rented a car with few friends to get out of Paris for a couple of days, and enjoy the early snow in Saint-Saulge.

We spent our time between relaxing near the fireplace, and walking around lake and forest.

Winter's obviously coming!

Airbourne

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 11:07:00 +0000

My family and I got together to get my dad a flight in a spitfire for 20mins, at Waddington R.A.F Base.

I went up in a Cessna to film my dad and take pics, there's a film clip i will put up soon. As some of it is shaky, weather and nerves !!!!!!!!!!.

If you wish to fly in a spitfire contact R.A.F Waddington Flying club. The pilot who took me up in the Cessna is a 747 B.A pilot so felt very safe and they also provide tea, coffee and big fat cakes all very english and a super day out.

Well worth it.

Master

noreply@blogger.com (Edwin Europe) — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 15:00:00 +0000

After one month more in Germany, alone, keeping my head focussed on work, I'm finally back in Paris.

I have now started working with a new master, who has taught me a lot of paintings tricks already.

I will tell you about that soon...

New flat, new studio, new girl, new master, it's wonderful.
