The Third & The Seventh is a fascinating short film by Alex Roman. In this movie he tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view. The main subjects in this film are already-built spaces. Sometimes they are portrayed in an abstract way and sometimes in surreal manner. We suggest that you switch the video to full screen view to fully enjoy this short film Gem.

We came across French photographer Gabriel Michel’s portfolio and very much liked his Milky Way series. The dialogue between the fluid (Milk) and the fragmented parts of the submerged human body does remind one of the play between the fabric of a garment and the wearer of this garment. A fascinating photo series.

Fashion blogs first appeared in the blogosphere prior to 2002 and they are, also for the designers of Warmenhoven & Venderbos, a fascinating and continues growing phenomenon in the fashion media and fashion critics world. Just like many blogs and online communities in other fields they do democratise and challenge the monopoly of the online as well as printed professional fashion media but also challenge the professional opinion makers and critics who create this media. For consumers fashion blogs are a new source for fashion news and information or a source to simply get inspired by personal opinions, taste, styling choices and statements made by all these individual fashion bloggers from around the world. It is likely they will have a considerable long-term influence on the fashion industry.

The phenomenon of fashion blogging raises many questions, Journalist Kirstin Hanssen and graphic designer Felicia Nitzsche investigated these questions, together with co-writer Elina Tozzi and decided to capture fashion blogs as an intriguing piece of zeitgeist in a book.The main content of the book is divided into five categories: fashion journalism, street style photography, party photography, personal style blogs, and men’s style. with photography by Krista van der Niet.
