Cozettes Birthday, London

Cozette's party was a few weeks ago but I never really got to post it before now..

Rainy Camden

Miss Maksimik

This is Nick Ramm from the Cinematic Orcherstra and Agniezka Maksimik. We were taking portraits of each other early a morning when I just got a Holga that I was sent from Superheadz ina Babylon to test out for them. So the next days I will snap Britain in it's glorious trashiness and send the pictures to Toyko. It's quite refreshing to try out a Holga, because it is so different from what I normally use. I won't probably use it much after this but it's nice to have in the summer when the light is a bit more enchanting than now..



Which leads me to this picture Agniezska took of Nathalie from Storm. I adore the colours.. She used 160 Kodak Porta VC (with a CAMBO) and you could honestly only get this result with a good film like that. I don't think any digital camera present day could capture this range of colours. Ironically, my scanner isn't working so this is just a very bad picture from my digital camera, so it doesn't truly do justice to the image..

New Haircut

by my friend Charlie Le Mindu who just moved to London from Berlin (via Paris). Check his website out on: www.charlielemindu.com

It's the shortest I have had in ages.. Some people say I finally look like a boy
others say I still look like a lesbian.



I am supposed to post a few pictures from events and such here, but I am just working hard on my dissertation at the moment. My deadline is getting closer and I need to make sure my head is not served up on a plate. . .

WORDS WITHOUT PICTURES

www.wordswithoutpictures.org is a new photography website by Charlotte Cotton (a contemporary photography curator and author) that is set to discuss theories and issues about photography today. It will feature essays and discussions, as well as podcasts and live debates (so far based in LA). Jason Evans (Fantastic Man, i-D, BUTT, Hanatsubaki ++) has written the first online essay; "Online Photographic Thinking" - which highlights photographic projects intended for the Internet rather than print form, and examines new directions that digital photography and the Internet offer contemporary photographic practice.

Blogs like Yvan Rodic's Facehunter and Diane Pernet's A Shaded View are perfect examples of how digital photography now offer new ways to use the photograph. Fashion speaking, sites like Iqons are tapping in to this, and experimenting with how the web as a medium can affect and influence fashion. It is stimulating to see that kids in Norway (where I am from) feel a part of what is going on in London (where I live) by having the impression that they are, trough instant reports from the likes of DirtyDirtDancing, experiencing the same energy and fluctuation that they see in the online images. DIY web publishing is unquestionably changing the way fashion scenes and (sub-)culture are existing. The acceleration of what is cool or in vogue is sped up so fast a fad can be gone even before it has reached the print (extremely speaking). Yvan have witch Facehunter, and Alistar Allan with DDD (as well as the obvious platforms like MySpace) made young style international in a way it has never been before.

You can't blame the boy next door for stealing your style anymore - he might have seen it on the web (worn by someone who saw you on the web).

Dr. Martens

Bought this pair two weeks ago, and I love them.. I havent been wearing Dr. Martens since I was 11. I stole my sisters black pair, sprayed them silver and went to the school disco smiling. I looked amazing. Had a pentagram on my forehead, and a torn white shirt. But now, after a new ad campaign, the 'design your own pair' competition on their website, and the stage in Camden they sponsor to show new muscial talents;the kids are once again wearing the bouncy boots. With a collaboration with Yohji Yamamoto and a range in different candy colours, you can easy mix them with the colourful rubber leggings from Walter Van Bierendonck (www.waltervanbeirendonck.com), or the cute Gap (red) t-shirt by Giles. Anything you want, except for a flower-patterned skirt. That would just look too wrong.

Michael Costiff

I am working on my next clubnight and came to think of Michael. I have had the pleasure to meet him a few times and he is always great to be around. Full of inspiration, stories (he did the infamous nightclub Kinky Gerlinki where the likes of Amanda Lear, Leigh Bowery, Grace Jones and numerous other fun people dressed up) and wits he's just a pleasure to work with. He is hilarious! I am sure most of you have heard about him somehow, or maybe even saw when he was walking down the runway for Comme des Garcons at Rei Kawakubo's autumn/winter 2007-8 show. So if you are in London have a look at his collection WORLD Archive at Dover Street Market, 17-18 Dover Street, London.

A legend.

Black Dress by Kristian Aadnevik

(For those of you that saw the SS 2008 show during the last LFW, I provided the music for the catwalk show. It was up for download a while ago, but if anyone still wants it I could forward it to you via yousendit. )

BURBERRY PARTY

Here are some of my pictures from the last Burberry party, celebrating the new fragrance The Beat (out in March). It was quite a fun party, and I was amazed by the chandelier they had made out of hundreds of perfume bottles. Beautiful! Afterwards we went on to Camden's 'legendary' and very shitty Black Cap where I threw a beer in the face (first time) of a rude girl trying to steal the make-up artist and creative director Kenny Campbell's goodie bag (which contained a white studdedleather bracelet/dogcollar and off course the fragrance). Hilarious.
