Percival Fashion Film

Percival's 2012 Autumn/Winter Fashion Film is trippy.

Lots of pre-production planning with many edits that are planned to work with each other.

I also like their most of their clothes even though most of the inspiration are stolen the styles are still contemporary.

Visvim's Vision

Hiroki Nakamura the designer for Visvim speaks about his inspirations.

He is trying to push fashion forward with function, form and endurance. Some of you might think his garments are a big price to pay but I think to some true supporters they are not only buying a piece of clothes. It is the technology, the effort and vision of Hiroki.

This video might give you a closer understanding of Visvim and the man behind the brand.

Dockers Men Of Style

Dockers pants have always been an American blue collar staple.

Recently they've been doing a lot of collaborations and video to gain more attention on the younger generations.

Here's a small video series of 6 sylish men talking about their own style and how they develop their own fashion sense.

Surprisingly...Nick Wooster is going to be featured there.

SYNTHESIS Promo Video

As I've said before I've been trying to collaborate with my friends this year and build up a profile for myself.

I made a short promotional video for my friend as she prepares to launch her magazine: SYNTHESIS.

MAISON KITSUNÉ Look Book Video

In terms of lookbook videos, MAISON KITSUNE is probably one of the most successful in high fashion.

A Sunday afternoon in Paris, you wake up brain dead, you dance on your bed, music pumping loud, you try on your clothes, you pack, you leave for another place.

It's raw, romantic, young, wild, stylish.

British Subcultures

Fred Perry Japan invested into making some short documentaries on the development of subcultures in Britain. It traces the origin of how rock & roll leather bikers, tailored slim cropped preppy mods or skinny studded punks came into development.

It a interesting look at why fashion was important in the old days especially for the poor working class.

For 60 years Fred Perry has been influential for the British youngsters,  it has grown internationally and selling the English heritage globally.

Welcome to Summer, boys

Summer, the days on the beach checking out girls. Unless you have something to impress the ladies... You'll need to put something on top. Here's my inspirations for this coming Summer.

If you do have the body then your're all set for Summer

It's getting hotter ladies

If you're in Sydney lately you'll notice the temperature is creeping.

So I'm posting the bi-annual women's fashion inspiration. It's not just Tees and shorts cause that isn't inspiring at all...lol. Hope girls in Sydney start wearing clothes like that :)

Photo Bloggers to Vloggers

Photo blogging, particularly fashion photography blogging has been extremely popular over the past years and is continuing to grow all over the world.

Blogs such as The Satorialist from New York, Garance Dore from Paris/New York and Men in this Town from Sydney have developed a very solid fan base of followers that check out their websites daily searching for fashion trends and tips.

One of the trends though, is happening within the blogs. More of these bloggers are attempting to post and create videos for their content. Although having their own background in photography they sometimes hire or make the video themselves.

I don't know their reasons behind making videos for their website, but it is definitely exciting for me because it seems that the online video market is growing and we see more and more people demanding to create videos for their websites.

Although the film industry might be dying, the video industry in my opinion is growing.

JALOUSE Magazine Part II

Posting the JALOUSE Promo video back in 9th Jan 2012, they are coming back with another video!

I like the voice over character that is giving you extra layers of the story and be obvious with what the visual are trying to convey to the audience.

The video was well planned and shot during the happenings of Cannes Film Festival.

These videos are making me wanting to purchase their super chic magazines lol

Gentlemen of Style

Surgram Films and Guerreisms have collaborated to produce a video on fellow Gentlemen around the globe. They been all over fashion magazines, blogs, photos, videos, interviews. These men are not styled by others, they have developed very personal styles through the years with trial and error.

Style needs to be developed and is individual for everyone.

Part 1 & 2

Fashion Recycled

Some of you hate this idea,

Some of you live by this idea,

Some of you haven't even heard of this idea,

It's called "Thrifting", act of shopping at a thrift store, flea market, garage sale, or a shop of charitable organisation, usually with the intent of finding interesting items at a cheap price. I know that some of you have already been getting into this habit picking up great cheap vintage items.

I personally like this concept because I believe that you don't need to go into flagship stores and purchase overpriced clothing to be fashionable. Style can be affordable if you have a great taste, attentive eye and also have no problems with hygiene (beware to wash before you wear!).

This is an example of a successful person that lives by thrifting, Sean Brown and he even has his own website that promotes this concept The Art of Reuse.

Think everyone should attempt adapting to this concept cause it reduces your expenses while keeping yourselves stylish :)

They also have a crew of thrifters, opening a second hand store, promoting this concept to people, blogging news about thrifting and educating others with this idea.

The Lost Explorer

A lot of fashion look book videos are very much very similar, a model walking around in some nice scenery such as Paris, Milan, some forrest, abandon architecture, etc...

I try to post more interesting fashion videos in here because they should taken credit for.

This teaser video did his job well, it really made me curious of their Fall Winter collection.

There also seems to be a trend of using miniature figurines these days but I'm not sure how it started, maybe you guys can answer that for me?

Garance Dore Cannes Film Fest Doco

All the things I love (except basketball) are presented in this short video.

What's there not to love?

Need Supply Co. Spring Lookbook 2012

Need Supply Co. is a website that sells fashion clothing.

They have created a video to look at the styles they recommend in their stores for Spring/Summer.

What I love about this video is that they try to recreate the distinguish style of  Wes Anderson.

The 60s, 70s fashion styles, quirky characters and geometric camera angles.

This is a pretty good attempt of his style, so if you admire Mr. Anderson you should be taking notes.

Individuality

Ever thought that you were a bit weird and different? Your mind doesn't really go well with others?

I mean that's all fine if you have the determination to be successful by being yourself.

I think it's awesome that everyone is different in their own way and yeah sure everybody knows that, but it's the ones that know how to work with their personalities thrive.

Don't fight it.

Love it, live it, use it.

The Winter Fabric

Winter is approaching fast this year and you definitely need some fine layers to insulate your body heat.

Harris Tweed is handmade in Scotland.

Learn their rich history ant art in this video.

Be sure to purchase some Harris Tweed.

Street Fashion Photography

It was by total chance that these two came across when we were shooting our documentary for uni in the city.

Shot with my GH2 & 25mm f/1.4.

It good so see that there's more and more of these stylish men roaming around Sydney.
