STORYBOARD #02 / STORE OF THE MONTH: MOTTO / BERLIN

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

In our second contribution to the current issue of Japanese Huge magazine, we talk about a store that we know very well indeed:

Monday, September 17, 2012

Unless you’ve been living in Siberia for the last few weeks, you will have noticed that this month marks the return of The XX, who with their new album Coexist pick up the thread exactly where they left off three years ago… We really wanted to show their new single Chained, which is only on [...]

DOTS AND INCISIONS

Saturday, September 15, 2012

TRICK PORTRAITS

Thursday, September 13, 2012

Find attached a new portraits series by the weird and wonderful Dutch avant-garde fashion photography duo Blommers & Schumm, for Spain’s Hector magazine. Erm… portraits?, you say?

ECHOES OF VOICES UPDATE #04

Wednesday, September 12, 2012

Forgive us for putting such a heavy focus on Robert Montgomery these days, but that’s what happens when we prepare our next issue, or book in this case – we become a little single-minded.
