infostreetstreet@gmail.com (Ms.Orange'O) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 11:17:00 +0000

models Abby Lee Kershaw, Sasha Pivovarova, Lily Aldridge and Edita Vilkeviute for the new DIY Project from Rag & Bone allowed them to indulge in their personal photography whims. The brand supplied each of them with a bag of clothes, a digital camera, and the four words "do as you please". The result was intimate images and video diaries that reflect each of their fun and unique personalities across different points around the world, including Sydney, Tenesssee, Corsica and Jamaica. The rare images have also been launched in a guerrilla-style campaign in Manhattan, and go live here in the today UK exclusively on the Rag & Bone website and Dazed Digital, and finally in a one-off window display at Collete in Paris.

Street Favourites: Ann Demeulemeester

infostreetstreet@gmail.com (Ms.Orange'O) — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 12:14:00 +0000

This is our new section on favourite designers from the streets. We begin this journey with my all time favourite among the Antwerp 6, ANN DEMEULEMEESTER .

Here I would like to include a personal diary entry from the summer of 2007-

"A cold dampness in the air, the cobbled streets have been freshly sprinkled with a drizzle. A strong flavour of hot waffles welcomed me as I walked out of the Antwerp Central station towards Verlatstraat. Next to the kitchen specialist ‘Obumex’ where you could find units designed by the minimalist architect John Pawson, just around the corner of Leopold de Waelplaats and Verlatstraat stands the store I had been waiting for all along my trip from Amsterdam. The Ann Demeulemeester store is one of the many great things about Antwerp along with the chocolates, diamonds, waffles, beer and a healthy portion of the best fries and mayonnaise.
Unstructured jacket, oversized t-shirt dresses draped as beautifully as ever against the skin, asymmetric vests, leather outerwear, skinny trousers, chunky leather boots, antique inspired jewellery and accessories with a strong sense of personal style. Ann Demeulemeester designs garments with impeccable cuts, monochromatic palette with a blunt edginess and a punk feminity. An Ann Demeulemeester creation may be anti-fashion in a way but oozing with a strong sense of personal style. Paying no heed to the passing trends or didactics of the fashionistas the Ann Demeulemeester label has solemnly stood for a slouchy, layered, menswear inspired modernity. She feels that her garden resembles her clothes, which she likes to think, are romantic, poetic, elaborate and wild.
The free spirit of the fashion world, a true believer in the power of beauty and freedom, Ann Demeulemeester just follows her heart without any compromise. She communicates with people through fashion, just like a musician, an artist or a writer. Through her designs Ann has reached people whom she would have never known otherwise. Today she is one of the most coveted names among Flemish designers for her absolutely unique sense of aesthetics. She is one among the bunch of brilliant designers who passed out of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp between the years 1980 and 1981; popularly called the ‘Antwerp Six’ because their names were too difficult for the world to pronounce. Dries van Noten, Bernard Wilhelm, Martin Margiela, Dirk Bikkembergs, Walter Van Beirendonck and Ann Demeulemeester, stylistically extremely diverse from each other; these young geniuses had a huge impact on the contemporary fashion of the early eighties.
Demeulemeester spins her tale around a fashion classic. Imagine a vintage double breasted jacket in a classic black blended with a touch of romance that muse her and a potion of her personal sense of style. What results is an out of the world collection, power of which is such that even if you are not a card-carrying member of her club, there is something in it for you.
The year 1976, not long before Ann had left her small Flander’s town of Waregem to study at the Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts, she made a startling discovery at a local music store. The sight of “Horses”, legendary Punk Rock idol Patti Smith’s 1975 debut album reigned her mind.
“I am going to know this woman.” This was her reaction. Yes, she knows her very well now. They are soul mates put in different parts of the world brought together by destiny. Demeulemeester is a great believer of intuition and fate and the way life brings people together. Music is a great source of her inspiration. It was music that got the two similar people together. Beauty of mind creates freedom, freedom of mind creates beauty, she says. Music is like a transmission of energy to her. It is the same kind of energy that films, books, art, or poems have. This energy is always responsible to create a drive in her to give the best of herself.
Her first collection was showed in the year 1987 followed by her first show in Paris in 1992. In 2005, Ann Demeulemeester showed her first menswear line along with the women’s collection in Paris. While other designers court the press, Demeulemeester prefers to avoid the media and keeps to her Belgium’s only Le Corbusier house. Unperturbed by her contemporaries she adheres to her individualistic approach towards life as well as towards fashion; today Ann Demeulemeester is a unique instance of original style quintessentially Belgian.
If you happen to be in Antwerp and take interest in the unique sense of fashion that characterizes it, make sure that you visit the MOMU, the fashion museum. It stands right around the corner of Nationalestraat, at a walking distance from the Antwerp central station. The entrance has a neo modern glass wall with a polished wooden door leading to the reception. The first floor holds a moving exhibition and the ground floor has an archive of the works of the a handful of Flemish fashion designers, the likes of Dries van Noten, Martin Margiela, Rick Owens and of course Ann Demeulemeester. The museum has preserved some of the original works of the Antwerp Six. In one of the little cells dedicated to the individual geniuses you can find the most fascinating instances of Flemish design.
What enthralled me the most was a leather jacket. It was a double-breasted with asymmetrical lapels and a shifted roll line, a detail engineered by the Ann of Antwerp that now-a-days finds expression in some of the younger designers of Flemish origin. Hand treated leather that seems to be slicked and oiled after a dark, damp night. Soft, supple yet looking strong enough to bear everyday wear and tear. This jacket can narrate the story of its wearer and bears testimony to the new dishabille glamour that made Ann Demeulemeester defy the dictates of fashion.
Ann Demeulemeester is known to dress the woman who not only knows herself but also takes great pride in being her. Today her individualistic fashion label has conquered the hearts of many across the world. After the Japanese, the Koreans, the Americans and the native Europeans may be its now turn for the Indian women to recognize this unique sense of personal style." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Street has embraced Demeulemeester in its very own ways. Creating unique identites which are as special and exclusive as her aesthetics and sensibilities. This is a tribute to the Ann of Antwerp.

LIFE IN A DAY

infostreetstreet@gmail.com (Ms.Orange'O) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 06:35:00 +0000

This is something that we could not help but write about. A concept that would probably bring a revolution in the world of Digital Video ART. A true street expression conceptualised by Ridley Scott Kevin Macdonald and the YOUTUBE community of geniuses.
It started in July last year when people around the world uploaded their individual stories of a day in their lives.
This collage of human experiences and expressions from around the world was premiered in the Sundance Film Festival as an official selection in 2011.
For all of the rest of the world who could not experience the magnitude of this event in person should remain in tuned to for its world release later this year. Till then here are the teasers for you.
If you feel you have it in you sign up for the marketing and distribution of this film.

Dr Denim SS 2011

infostreetstreet@gmail.com (Reemo) — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 08:21:00 +0000

Can you really put a start date on a story that

began in a dream, a story that has always existed?

Because that’s what it feels like for us. We have

nurtured the dream of our own label for

generations, since our grandfather started his

own womenswear label in the 1950’s.

The first Dr Denim collection saw the light of

day in August 2004. Since then the collection

has grown substantially, and Dr Denim are now

sold in approximately 30 countries worldwide.

But we and the label’s roots will continue to

remain in Göteborg.

OUR LONG HISTORY

IN SHORT

TO US, JEANS ARE THE

ULTIMATE SCIENCE

To us, jeans are science. The most noble science

of all. Where others see fabric and seams, we see

beauty and complexity. We see visions, realised

through knowledge, passion and dedication in a

novel, intellectual, somewhat quirky manner. Dr

Denim blends history with fresh ideas, finding

new paradigms where denim and directional

fashion evolve conjointly.

Our intellectual approach to denim in particular

and fashion in general has led some to think of

us as geeks. And that’s fine by us..

CHEAP DENIM V/S DESIGNER DENIM.

IS IT WORTH IT?

A section from a denimblog i usually keep myself updated with. personally i really feel these designer denims are worth each penny.

This post is inspired by this video featured on ABC about the great debate of premium denim. In the video they talk to experts, poll people on the street and do durability tests to examine if there really is a difference between premium and regular denim. Their conclusion is yes, there’s some difference but it’s not worth the price tag of the premium jeans. However, I certainly don’t think that it is a very accurate assessment of what premium denim is all about!

Fit: Personally, I’ve never found a pair of jeans that fits me as well as designer denim does. I am 5′11″, so I frequently have trouble finding jeans that are long enough, and even some store’s “long” cuts were still too short for me. Premium pairs also have a wider variety of fits, like Cookie Johnson’s line, CJ by Cookie Johnson, which is meant to fit a curvier woman.

Quality: Although a larger price tag doesn’t always equal better quality, when it comes to premium jeans, frequently it can. In the video, they attempt to disprove that there is a difference between the wear-and-tear of premium and non-premium jeans. I’d say that typically this is inaccurate. The video shows only short term wear-and -tear, not over the the life of the jean. I’ve had some of my Citizens of Humanity and Seven for All Mankind jeans since I was in high school (over 8 years ago!) and they’re still in my daily jean rotation. I also was big into Gap jeans in high school but those pairs are long gone. The larger price on these jeans can mean you’re getting higher quality fabrics, like Japanese denim. These materials get softer and mold to your body as you continue to wear them, lending to the quality of the garment.

Price: This is the bottom line for the video and many consumers. With price tags in the mid $100s and higher, they are expensive. However, with exceptional quality and fit, buying a pair of premium jeans is an investment. For a great fitting pair of jeans that you’ll wear 2x a week for 4 years, at $200 a pop, it ends up being less than 50 cents a wear. Plus, with the increase of flash sale sites, such as Rue La La and Hautelook, it’s easy to get a pair of premium jeans for under $100, the online sales are always great as well.

You thought candies are just for your taste buds.

Candy wrapper dresses seem to be all the rage these days.

From the dance floors at high school musicals to a handmade 600-wrapper Peanut M&Ms dress (above) on display in, uh, New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal (for Earth Day, not just for kicks) everybody's doing it.

Most communication artists and designers would agree that it is our job to communicate. Where we disagree, sometimes intensely, is on how that is achieved. The fault lines of the debate are often drawn along the difference between "art" and "design" approaches, as in Michael Johnson's recent article on this week's selection process for a new Head of Department for the Communication Art & Design course at London's Royal College of Art. The RCA is the world’s only wholly-postgraduate school of art and design, and has produced a roster of well-known alumni including Alan Fletcher, Daniel Eatock, Jonathan Barnbrook, Why Not Associates, and Sara Fanelli.

In his article, Johnson argues that the current department, under the leadership of Dan Fern, has become hobbled by the "art" approach, and that its students are beholden to a working ethos that has little relevance for the outside world: "The key issue that has distracted the course for decades has been 'art'. Communications graduates have been at pains to present their work within the context of white walled galleries, not grubby old commerce. Work has often been presented as 'work in progress', never finished. The 'process' has become the king, not the problem to be solved."

For many, this is an inflammatory position. Is Johnson's problem-solving, commerce-oriented methodology the only legitimate approach? Or is it possible that the purpose of design education is to empower students to produce work that reflects their individual motivations, white-walled or not? Can't "art" and "design" approaches coexist simultaneously in our practice? Why are we so eager to create a cut-and-dry dichotomy between the two? As Adrian Shaughnessy remarked earlier this week in an article for Design Week, "Fern’s critics hope that his successor will push the course towards creating graduates with 'real world' skills in branding and digital communication. That’s the safe option. I'd prefer to see someone who could update Fern’s vision of a course which produces creative people capable of exploring new ways of thinking from a perspective of craft informed by artistic vision, for a world where commercial imperatives are no longer the only benchmarks for success."

RISE OF 3-D

infostreetstreet@gmail.com (Reemo) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:37:00 +0000

April 8, 1953: first big Hollywood 3D film

On this day's date in 1953, the first 3D movie made by a major Hollywood studio hit screens. I was surprised to learn that it wasn't Jaws 3D House of Wax, but rather Man In The Dark. From Wired: Six months later, Kiss Me Kate was released in 3-D. Eye-blindingly colorful and 3-Delicious. Bob Fosse dances in it and Ann Miller sings a song with the refrain "dick, dick, dick, a dick, dick, a dick, dick.

Back then everybody thought all movies will be in 3-D seriously! Who knew it would just fade away as a FAD, i still could not understand why 3-D movies suddenly stopped. I agree it would be asking for too much workwise, but movies like 'TItanic' and 'Transformers' ( the special effects and ship building etc.). would have taken equal time and sweat!

James Cameron. Aha , he came back with a bang, Da-Dimension. People flocked and waited for the movie as if they were waiting for summer holiday seat. Cameroon quoted a classic saying “The technology should wave its own wand and make itself disappear.'' But when people came out taking their 3-D glasses off, they kept wondering whether it was a 'fantasy world' by a genius or a 'bloody american assault'. Nevertheless James Cameroon got back the lost GLORY of 3-D CINEMA********

I like the layers he had built up around the neck, yet comfortable and classy. Nicely don a rugged look.

I love the leather jacket, and yeah the way he has worn it! The camera looks looks cool in his hand with that look.

Cool highlight print detail. Eyecatcher first sight.

Perfect example of layering, i like evrything about this.

Bravo brother! This what i say 'street' but yeah not everyone can pull it off.

I notice the amazing geometric stitch detail at the back. I think that speaks a lot designwise. Very funky and Smart jacket.

Very funky shoes, i will look for one myself now.
