Matthias deliveres these amazing platinum silicone rubber compositions to you straight from lovely Stockholm. Can you imagine standing in front of one of the bigger sizes…? This former Konstfack and Kungliga Konsthögskolan student really flavours a strong language. Colors, rubber, perfect!

Sopopular Spring/Summer 2010

February 3rd, 2010

German menswear fashion at it’s best: James Ardinast, his brother David and Daniel Blechman founded their label SOPOPULAR in order to take up streetwear fashion codes and transfer them into adult clothing. I think they’ve done a good job on that!
By the way: The name SOPOPULAR was inspired by an interview with Kurt Cobain.

January 30th, 2010

This is a video by photographer Erik Wåhlström, who captured a beautiful ambience created by Swedish duo Taxi Taxi! - ‘Oh my darling Clementine’ reinterpreted with zither and accordion for the company Brämhults.

You might remember his brilliant work for Julia Hederus, too… So nice!
