a visual collective outlet of inspiration
booed at cannes, set in painstakingly dark bangkok bordellos (in every sense of the word), featuring very little dialogue and with a stupefying kristin scott thomas to boot, this is definitely a film to be considered. by sv

the location makes the shot
funny post on jalouse magazine blog about a photoshoot story out in their summer issue, shot at the exact same place venetia scott shot the paul ka latest ads. they mention that it was shot at the same time in a factory outside of paris so there is no rip off here, only coincidence. sometimes the location makes the shot… well, and the model too. styled by anna quérouil. by pp

LOSING THEIR COOL – TIBOR KALMAN
“Smoking is cool. Air Jordans are cool. Anything
with the Nike Swoosh on it is cool. Smashing
Pumpkins are cool. Absolut ads are cool.
Marlboros are cool. Kools are cool (and mentholated).
Young people have anointed scores of brands,
objects and media as the accessories that will construct
their unique and cool identities. Smoking is an
important aspect of cool, and the cigarette pack is a
critical fashion accessory.”
