Alice: long legs and all
our lovely friend alice rausch… we are doing a twin project and thought of you alice and your twin sister, but came across this instead… the only problem is that you have to learn to dance like a rock star, if not then we’ll have to have you direct one day ; ) by dd
celine sk8
celine trying to be street with daria werbowy and a skateboard, shot by juergen teller…kinda corny but i like it. not sure how i missed this, or graffiti artist kidult’s SK8 tag on the celine paris store, seems like a pretty convenient collab rather than a protest, either way i’m sure celine got some press out of it. by m+m

WHEN THE SKY FELL DOWN – GUY BOURDIN DOCUMENTARY
i haven’t heard anything else floating around about this documentary, but that doesn’t say much. it’s a little strange so maybe that’s why i’m skeptical… odd song to use, and all of the text bits seem to be “advertising” it more than building curiosity. anyway, if you find out more, please let me know! by kl
ROBERT POLIDORI X BOTTEGA VENETA
after robert longo, nan goldin, sam taylor wood and others, it was a good surprise to see bottega veneta collaborating again with an unexpected artist for their campaign. robert polidori set the campaign in a venice palazzo which reminds me of his work in versailles… unfortuately i’m not sure i like the shots with the lame model, but it’s always nice to see these rare people at work in the behind the scenes. by pp.
