"What Happens In The Grotto...Stay In The Grotto". photographs: MAYA ROCHAT and SOPHIE BRASEY


picture from her show. 2009


"What Happens In The Grotto...Stay In The Grotto" is the third year collection (2009) of MARIEL MANUEL, a Swiss fashion designer currently studying at ROYAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS Antwerp.

The whole project (a kind of ethnical collection mixing fur, lace, tartan, wood) is simply perfect: Her sketches are stunning (you just can't miss it!) and the photographs by Swiss photographers MAYA ROCHAT and SOPHIE BRASEY make you believe in a wild-glamour society living at night in the desert.

If you want to watch pictures of her fashion show in 2009, it's here: http://www.antwerp-fashion.be/SHOW2009/EN/3.html

Definitively a talent to watch!

thank you MARIEL MANUEL, you rock!

Yacht. Psychic City (Voodoo City)

YACHT. Psychic City (Voodoo City)

YACHT will be your new favourite indie electronica band, for sure:

YACHT is kind of a band, but it's mostly a genre-and-media spanning life project founded and led by JONA BECHTOLT of the Northwest of America's very own Portland, Oregon. (and new member CLAIRE L. EVANS) make anthemic OCD power jams, soak them in holy water and rewrite them into new mantras.

In 2007 alone, the band played more than 200 shows in 17 countries around the world, chasing album releases in North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and China, and touring with such luminaries as LCD Soundsystem, Architecture in Helsinki, High Places, and Vampire Weekend. From lunchtime shows in middle schools, to stuffy rock clubs, to festivals around the world, to New York City's The Kitchen, to the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, to a commissioned large-scale performance at Paris' Centre Georges Pompidou, they will play anywhere to unforgiving assholes and evangelical followers alike. - perfect description by YACHT

Portraits of a Serialsammler. Sanny wooduedge, 2006. C-Print, Edition 3 + 2 A. 76 x 58 cm

THORSTEN BRINKMANN´s photographic self-portraits are initiated by the things he finds: objects discarded by the civilisation, which he finds in bulk waste collections in the street, but also ordinary things like bottles, flower pots or shelves. Even his own body becomes an objet trouvè by the artist.

He pulls pieces of clothing he has found over his head, presses the delay-timer of his camera, runs toward a wall he has equally found, places a lamp shade, a pot or the cover of a tennis racket over his head and finds his pose. The results are unconventional.

His work so far has centred on the close relation between objects and people, always trying to evoke elements of painting in his sculptures or photos but the importance of the performance part is equally an important characteristic of his work.

Yannick Hagmann

personal work


YANNICK HAGMANN sent me a message with a link to their portfolio: I discovered a really unique work presenting his passion for darkness and light.

A small but really nice portfolio, keep up the good work YANNICK!

Rebecca Teague

I'm jealous of REBECCA TEAGUE! I'm jealous because she lives in Californian (they have something called sun there) and because she is simply talented: her very contrasted black and white photographs are stunning.

ps. I discover REBECCA through the WFW Flickr Pool...don't be shy and submit your work too!

Julian Louie

Ad campain FW 09 photographed by CAMERON KRONE

Initially, JULIAN LOUIE wanted to be an architect. Then he came to New York and his passion for fashion supplanted his architecture study. After an internship at Calvin Klein, he was handpicked by FRANCISCO COSTA to participate in Italian Vogue and Australian Wool Innovation’s Protégé Project. And although he had no practical fashion experience other than internships at Imitation of Christ and Calvin Klein, he created his first collection in 2008: a set of fifteen colourful and very feminine mini dresses.

Thanks to his architectural background, he has a different approach to fashion which is very much about line, proportion, silhouette and texture: a difference that gives him an advantage.

His Spring collection 2010 is a series of dress in a tight gradiation of colour from peachy coral to nude to taupe to pink to white. From this idea, he explored different textures and experiments with different fabrics like ultrasuede. View all the collection at http://julianlouie.com/

The pictures presented above are taken from his advertising campaign for the FW 09 collection photographed by CAMERON KRONE.

JULIAN LOUIE is definitely a talent to watch.

Four reasons to love DEE DEE CHERIEL:

1. NALINI "DEEDEE" CHERIEL started out creating record covers and T-shirts for the Oregon music scene in the early '90s
2. she began her own band and record label at the age of 19
3. she played in several all-girl bands (Juned, Adickdid, The Teenangels, The Hindi Guns) and co-created the semi-autobiographical film "Down and Out with the Dolls"(www.dolls-themovie.com)
4. She is influenced by the popular DIY culture, East Indian temple imagery, punk rock, and her Pacific Northwest natural environment.

Jelle Martens

JELLE MARTENS is creative for sure: he draws, juxtaposes and arranges in order to create digital photo collages or more recently pencil sketches.

He doesn't own a proper website but you can view more at his flickr-folio, Enjoy!
