superfine is a high end denim brand from London with production in Italy. Established in 2003 by Lucy Pinter and Fora Evans superfine became an innovative style leader, making rock and roll jeans with a puristic style free from branding. The focus is on perfect fit and fabric with clever, often hidden details which made the brand popular among numerous celebrities. In addition to pure denim looks Lucy just created a complete ready to wear collection in collaboration with licensee Pier Spa. Definitely a recommend for the upcoming summer season.

Jan Masny, born 1975 in Poland, started his photographic practice in 1999 in Krakow before he moved to London in 2004. His main focus is in fashion photography as well as portraiture and advertising. We have chosen his recent series of ballet dancers which he recently published in in Mirrin and Componere magazine.

He describes his photographs as simple and minimal with the aim to specifically emphasize their content. With his beautiful ballet dancers series he illustrates the influence of classic dance actually on movies (see Pina Bausch) and fashion (see Rodarte) these days. To see more take a look at his portfolio.

Zaha Hadid is for sure the most influential female architect today. After seven years of design and construction work her last project the Guangzhou Opera House was opened to the public. The 1800 seat auditorium of the Opera House houses the very latest acoustic technology, and the smaller 400 seat multifunction hall is designed for performance art, opera and concerts in the round. The main inspiration for the design was the natural look of river valleys eroded by time over millions of years. Engaging with the principles of erosion, geology and topography Zaha Hadid and her team created a fascinating interplay between architecture and nature which can be discovered from the outside and everywhere inside this great monument of art. Let´s assume that Chinese authorities not only enable great architectural projects as monuments for themselves but as an inspiration to make China a better place in terms of humanity too.

It was in 1982 when David Hockney presented his first composite Polaroids and photographic collages (see slide 3). Since then many artists and photographers adapted his technique and created Polaroid collages. As photography became more and more digital Polaroids looked to be some kind of old fashioned until last year when the company teamed up with Lady Gaga to reinvent the product and made Polaroids fashionable again. Australian born Hana Davies revived Hockney´s technique and created some exceptional collages (slide 1 and 2). To see more of her portfolio take a look at her latest shots.

Julien Vallée is a real Master of Stop Motion movies. The Montreal based digital artist creates unique short films for exhibitions in Europe, Asia & North America as well as for clients like The New York Times Magazine, Swatch or MTV Australia. We selected three of his last projects which he did for the If You Could Collaborate Exhibition, the OFFF festival & MTV-Hits. By clicking on the images in the slide show you can view the short movie. Especially the first one "Dansedance" is an interactive experience, where each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time. Enjoy and have fun!
