Do-Ho Suh.<br />
<br />
Suh is a Korean artist whom creates large scale sculptures, predominantly, and my favourite out of fabric. I'm not sure what type of fabric, but I guess it is organza. The work I saw was an entire house interior stitched out of blue organza with incredible detail and scale. He had all the details down to light switches, taps, drain pipes, stove top knobs etc. It was epic, incredible and inspiring. Below are some images of his works. The third being from the exhibition I saw.<br />

While researching the new collection (that time again. Once on the roller coaster there is no getting off. I love it!) I looked into stroboscopic photography. Purely by accident, as I was eager to see as many pictures as I could of bullets going through apples and the explosion at different stages. Hence I stumbled across Harold Edgerton, who was a pioneer of using stroboscopic photography while working with photographer Gjon Mili who used this type of photography also. This type of photography used strobe lighting that could flash up to 120 times a second, therefore could capture fast motion photography like bursting balloons etc. This was way back in the 1930's and its still amazing photography. Below are amazing photographs Mili took for Life magazine of Picasso, and iconic images from Edgerton. </div>

Continuing on my love of advertising, I came across this campaign for an art school. Using famous artists as autopsy's. It is super amazing. But I have a request...Frida Kahlo! Keep up the good work MASP.iammichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178870054627662011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489219325106297143.post-24938155769068939952012-07-29T19:57:00.003-07:002012-07-29T19:57:40.525-07:00LEGO GENIUSI love a great campaign. A great campaign gives immediate insight into a brand. It captures the market in a single image, it tells you what the brand stands for, it makes you love or abhor the brand, it shows creative genius or sales orientated marketing.<br />
This lego campaign to me is absolutely genius. Everyone knows lego, its been around forever, so needs no introduction. For this campaign they take famous cartoon characters and mould them down into crude form using the basic block of lego. It engages the audience as you take the challenge of identifying who's who. Its simple, smart, engaging and all these years on - lures me back in to my lego days.<br />
Who's who? My favourite is Ernie and Bert.<br />

On a trip to London in February, my music guru, who introduced me to M.I.A, Santo Gold and the Hermitude, many years ago, introduced me to Twin Shadow. And now I am obsessed, as she guaranteed I would be...very happy when listening to this.

It incorporates photography, sculpture, drawing, painting, performance, collage, instillation...the list goes on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fashion is clothing. Shoes are shoe, bags are bags, Jewellery is jewllery, hats are hats. Yes they fit into the fashion category - and dont get me wrong - I'm in fashion, i live for fashion. But art forces me to think in a different direction and not just reinterpret what exists. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I trawl through www.butdoesitfloat.com because there is such a vast array of artists, ideas and concepts.

Called Environmental Graffiti www.environmentalgraffiti.com, it is made from moss. The process involves blending moss, water, buttermilk and a retention gel and making a paste. You then paint it on with a stencil or free hand and keep it moist with water mist. The results are spectacular. Try it for yourself.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiyEPgL5SD87q-ZQen4b19kdaLrTTIA-EgIevBitm4o3HAqBDntZgTo7ZBAisymBdA6G5brirXPg_Wv7ondHYEE3020xSJCOJmjoNd4Fm4s1Ft_vqamlKmhldi8O74LcqKsHsM2xw14w/s400/429068_390527807624795_213775278633383_1587321_228945955_n-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726620252875625442" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1fOtvlN6y58QOZgUvwi0G9TF8H9PqGH4eoXXQhoc6t0383B4wuYw82LwpYfiaxfb3gIe_G85gCwp2P-EFGrsqqlMUTShaqUF6kLCmVU0aI8xvvUXVV_BjCKtlmzWQDc0AiYvDR03lCZU/s400/http-inlinethumb56.webshots.com-43191-2227307060103830173S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726620091748914450" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4J3yHfxzLbLh1e0eoNKt5VJVFv4G4FGlfALFy5v2FT6fTNt9eGFkN5wN2GGN1GlDp6g6Nzr1Q67h8LiTmqR_0lEK0VDr3REkJ3BO6h4HU0KwovJkRQj0eWQyRV31jnqc1ZGrJ8sTUqA/s400/http-inlinethumb47.webshots.com-42158-2696399530103830173S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726620005203318770" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-AEFLi8ecToeyKQkkxOzoWiEkYFJEHZVMTV7Z6I9oxh2PKcPDQHK4PIq6dsXqv0EDBcYDRAclnMzmvzop7-jVVJyevdn2ayVKDNdZEAJNvi4ftoWGO6GMhTec63thPsora2Kw2An0c64/s400/http-inlinethumb19.webshots.com-21650-2644796170103830173S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726619895800892994" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqfGjkuW31X37AQYoFL-RtPEh9E8nlVCxdekxdcF0SffFOqSl6UYJPy9HFLAhX-XJez54hcA4MJ7KnAgHBgCZQzJvE-LqF56Ahb-0RGor8zdLOwUUFKGCGGkJHoT9j1qKv7HKdmRrvoH4/s400/http-inlinethumb13.webshots.com-15372-2881168870103830173S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726619786745875650" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit54Wu1BJpDpiBLTgfmJ0rwKsC3t_0LJEOQK-UVWSAMvX9LWM5JcnFVn6HSsn8DvQ5r2WstZmgMPS1bKKY6PGWoEUeB2wIivqwVic38q1W8CW1_0k3Bu1cYR3qnZL4qp77pnQ5LdbN8tU/s400/http-inlinethumb12.webshots.com-42571-2565897010103830173S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726619688609333954" />iammichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178870054627662011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489219325106297143.post-73653088205708506632012-03-29T04:19:00.001-07:002012-03-29T04:19:42.575-07:00ANIMAL BEATBOX - Tropfest 2011 Winner (TSI: "Key")<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vxiSP_ch_oI?fs=1" width="480"></iframe><br />
So for those of you outside Australia you may not have heard of Tropfest. Tropfest is an Australian short film competition which is in fact the worlds largest short film festival. It was started about 10 years ago in a small cafe in Kings Cross called the Tropicana Cafe (hence the name. And which BTW when I lived in Sydney use to die for their Trop salad for lunch). Its and annual competition and every year they have a theme or a word as inspiration. 2011 theme was Key.<br />
Attached is the winner of last year. I just love it.iammichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178870054627662011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489219325106297143.post-14930574118660028502012-03-23T21:07:00.007-07:002012-03-23T21:31:17.731-07:00AMANDA LEPORE "SHES THEM ALL"<div style="text-align: left;">I love Amanda Lepore.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I think she is fabulous. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm alway interested in knowing where people have come from and how they got to be where and who they are today. Little is documented about her though. From Wikipedia I found out she was born as Armand in Cedar Grove New Jersey, and from a young age she knew she was supposed to be a girl. At 17 she had a sex change and got married and lived a suburban life until she left for NYC.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before and after pics and transformation pics always interest me also, but again there is only one pic i've been able to find of her as a young woman.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In any event I came across these pics from Tush Magazine in </div><div style="text-align: justify;">2010, shot by Marcus Ohlsson entitled "She's them all" SO SO good...i've popped in a couple of the originals too for a bit of a look-a-like comparison.</div><img style="display:block;

You travel. You get inspired. You visit the high end brand store to drool over the make, finish and the fabrics. For me, being from Australia the 1st and 3rd point are kinda hard...well, not hard but just not as accessible. 25-30 hrs away from major cities like London, Paris and NYC.... as a result i've being lucky enough to visit London and Paris a few times, but NYC i've not been so lucky....until now!<div><br /></div><div>I've just spent 1 week in NYC for the 1st time and I have to say - OMG.

On one hand i'm thankful that consumers feel the need to buy the latest and greatest each season - as it keeps me in business. But on the other hand is all this consumerism really necessary?

I guess it isn't, but we work hard and deserve beautiful things, so yes it is!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Something can be said though for oldies but goodies. We all have them. Pieces we've had for years that we just love and cant part with. An old t-shirt, pair of shoes, jeans...My sister went to America for a year when I was 9. She use to send me little parcels of goodies from the other side of the world that I'd never heard of like Reeces peanut butter cups, Candy Corn, Nurf ball. Once she sent me a t-shirt for the Oregon Ducks Football team. I absolutely loved it. It was grey marle with a yellow and green print, with a donald duck type cartoon. I had it for years and one day it vanished. I think my mum probably tossed it as it was thread bare. I still think about it.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 354px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicND2ysYegapj2qkKO1VF6z5ylxQCud_ZzSrJwoInuxRujWk6cW1dclAZP1NS3i0x7E3TqaYZcJd8kHeB_7uLSHz_33_ogqZ1vcCWFAAkKKCS4E3nskpZ40hUAiAOFXNInfSECg8UNLmI/s400/sports-oregon-ducks-t-shirt.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698879754695179826" />iammichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178870054627662011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489219325106297143.post-39196704088067111122012-01-13T22:50:00.000-08:002012-01-13T23:06:20.125-08:00RESORT, PREE FALL, PREVIEW<div style="text-align: justify;">In recent years theres been a lot of movement in the way collections are presented. No longer are there clearly defined Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer....this is good news for me. At MICHAEL HOCKEY we are aiming to set up our collections as season less. This is due partly because our company is based in the Southern Hemisphere, but our product is bought globally we want to ensure all our followers can buy all our styles anytime they want. Because, lets be honest, none cares if its this season or last season - if you love it, you love it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Speaking of loving it, I am very lucky to be freelance designing for Indonesian based brand Lily Jean. After a wonderful response to the last collection, recently showcased in Brazil, I've been invited to design the upcoming collection which will be shown in either San Paolo or Rio fashion week in June....very happy about that trip!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>In my research for the upcoming season I've come across beautiful collections. Notably from Chloe, Preen,Roksanda Ilinic and Celine....here are a few of my key look images....</div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWXOCNT_4P8J4-rWBvgGk9mr4Tou7bueKroCYhrIZcpyRnt-0xRYJNyUTfuH44-V4a4F6ujawFl2WaPoVu34bqavk8viju5mj-bsOsE3kThe8Bgal7dVIRP_qy87cvqDdWQUugl1o7txI/s400/preen-armani-pre-fall-2012-01_12041318744.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697380110597979826" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 400px; " /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVpUkA625uVuJSjyCgjpebr2FQsUeZwkK_wHj0U1oyQ-kBp2JERJHmyxTUD4RseiDu3CI9kRYSxi-06swqXBbEdnSQtsQ0AViyyGqJEdNiQNDkEaxp0AwPtR9JyZdTg1viAftrdD4wUlA/s400/roksanda-ilincic-pre-fall-2012-011_155031170629.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697379958141790386" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQbur0KqW2L3IumCyNtqAnNfSmhrUy7fu33VGONTuhugpo1fEs2Kn32kVoMb6fNmXdyxeLt2I5y1fj-SBTCVDmnULP4xe-7ktAMWIC54x8QO3UJ9KTiNRKjTH6fi4ZTTqZtBem1FwWWoU/s400/chole-rtw-ss2012-runway-020_142407933120.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697379517772610434" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px; " /><div></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9fSKChHT28Yxo5qLL2OemMKrGp-KJ7AH1B_1kj-CRXQNy503rChE22oya4aOMNb9zlWCEIdD486uP__UJtFznaQLVtpTbgF7vOEPIzJ_xG1Iiqmt0oCqA1I3WCD8VEGUapFHw4LA62Y/s400/celine-pre-fall-2012-002_15510977990.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697379209423955010" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></div>iammichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178870054627662011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489219325106297143.post-57571241193147940342011-12-18T18:28:00.001-08:002011-12-18T18:44:29.179-08:00WHAT MAKES A MAN?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-sUpjM7puLYW5JT8QoeC8P7TKhfQG-qZZ7d0SMl9vHytvYgoJpwGgCCWO-LURdCAi0BpOIB8zcPSivT9joJYp4OoTWugQmtR9NHoDKhYbX8w5BkCKSDUIAEOGSGbOa9wZ0XCF6O5wFh4/s1600/carnation.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-sUpjM7puLYW5JT8QoeC8P7TKhfQG-qZZ7d0SMl9vHytvYgoJpwGgCCWO-LURdCAi0BpOIB8zcPSivT9joJYp4OoTWugQmtR9NHoDKhYbX8w5BkCKSDUIAEOGSGbOa9wZ0XCF6O5wFh4/s400/carnation.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687663634131481698" /></a><br />Its always an interesting debate. What makes a man?<div>Men should be strong, chivalrous, protectors, some say muscular, some say it doesn't matter, they prefer lean. Some say emotional, sensitive, some say not. I think men get a harder time over this then women. And mostly, it comes down to what they wear. God forbid anyone might think your gay by what you wear. But even if, your still a man. </div><div>I find the fashion debate on this topic very interesting. When people say to me "thats so gay", I think "what do gay clothes look like?" Apparently pink shorts and florals are gay - but I see more straight guys wearing them then gay guys. Abercrombe and Fitch to me is gay, its like the gay uniform, they even have go go dancers in the shops! But people dont say - "thats gay" when they look at Abercrombe and Fitch cargo shorts.<div>So how do "real men" dress? I cant answer that. All I can do is make what I make and see who wears it. </div><div>When I design, I always look at fashion history. I love looking at the fashions of yesteryear that in the time were essential for the modern man. Pocket squares, tie pins, bow ties, top hats, bowler hats, trilbies, monocles, cigarette holders, snuff boxes, cuff links, gloves, spats, sock garters the list goes on. I find this all so fascinating and inspirational. </div><div>This season for EDEN i've touched on the motif of the carnation, in its day an essential accessory for a well to do mans evening suit. I hope my carnation jumper is an essential in todays mans wardrobe.</div><div>...next season who knows...again the list is endless.</div></div>iammichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178870054627662011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489219325106297143.post-21877821982161185762011-12-18T03:31:00.000-08:002011-12-18T03:47:43.353-08:00WHAT IS EDEN?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja_DpCmvxi4Y698v_nYrO-myyX6Z4i8BmURJQk30daExrqR_8I8njQliWAxjPOR-d47DtBJWtveOnvnWvkSUt6vcf1IJLtBh88qN1MzypMCq_00A8jkBxk_39qdtIhMNqnO53vaRyFaBs/s1600/Unknown-1.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

Exposing the world to an enclave of young hipster fashion brands from around the world, allowing them to upload their lookbook for the world to see. Of the 6000 or so brands registered a select few are invited to sell also, MICHAEL HOCKEY being one of them....we've not been up 1 week yet and already sold the PICASSO in ruby. A fantastic loafer update, with a stylish low cut and heel - think a velvet slipper with a heel. The ruby colourway is perforated patent leather with a tan trim. Very fun and very wearable.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All shoes are handmade for individual orders, so you are guaranteed these are made exclusively for you!!

What the artist might have worn while painting, what the characters might be wearing in the artwork. The PICASSO is what I imagined picasso wearing while painting.
