Climb | High heels in the snow

W&V — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:31:49 +0000

The above video, which carries the title: ”Climb”, shows an interesting work by US artist Julie Lohnes.

Julie Lohnes statement:
She is interrogating the subjects of place, play, female power and sexuality. Lohnes strives to rupture cohesive understanding of play while reinterpreting the heroic, masculine landscape pictured by Homer and Eakins. By placing seemingly incongruous objects, women and actions together, meaning and content is altered. Each piece exists as both light-hearted and playful while pushing against social coherency towards more transgressive, social implications.

Trentemøller and Marie Fisker | Sycamore Feeling

W&V — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 12:29:08 +0000

Recently the, Copenhagen based, Danish electronic musician Anders Trentemøller released his latest album titled “Into the Great Wide Yonder”. The Warmenhoven & Venderbos designers like the lead track and its video from this album a lot. For the albums lead single “Sycamore Feeling”, Trentemøller teamed up with Danish singer Marie Fisker. The result is a sophisticated, edgy-chic, fashionable and melancholic down tempo song with haunting vocals by Marie Fisker.

The very inspiring and beautiful music video for “Sycamore Feeling” was written and directed by video artist Jesper Just. It was shot in the abandoned town of Centralia in Pennsylvania USA. The reason Centralia was abandoned is because of a fire in the coal layers and the mines beneath the town, a fire which broke out in 1962 and which is still burning nowadays. The female lead is performed by both, Diana Wagner and a well known New Yorker drag performer, Princess Diandra. Due to the fragmented structure of the video both actors become basically one identity.

How You Look At It: a short fashion film by Poppy de Villeneuve

W&V — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:49:30 +0000

“How You Look At It” is a short fashion film directed and created by Poppy de Villeneuve. The movie is an intriguing cross over and melting between cinema and online viral fashion advertising.
De Villeneuve is a British photographer based in New York. Her father is Justin de Villeneuve, the Sixties fashion photographer who discovered Twiggy, and her mother is the model Jan de Villeneuve. Poppy herself began modelling at the age of 17 but found it “boring” so took up photography instead. She studied at the London College of Printing, and since graduating has worked for publications including Vogue and Dazed & Confused. She also exhibits her work regularly.

Nowness on the film and its director:
“Summer in the city: a bustling, stifling and less-than-calming experience. But even in the midst of blaring car-horns, sweltering commuters and dizzying throngs of irritable pedestrians, there’s a pocket of peace to be found in every metropolis. Such moments of sweet escape provide the inspiration for the How You Look At It film.”

“Poppy de Villeneuve (who has shot for Vogue, Jalouse and Nylon, among others) and starring rising Chinese fashion model Liu Wen, who was recently signed as the first Asian face of Estee Lauder. To create her moment of blissful cool, De Villeneuve took to the serene spaces of New York’s Asser Levy Recreation Center—a turn-of-the-century bath house, replete with Art Deco pool—where, in a heat-induced reverie, a Norma Kamali clad Wen is joined by former Sopranos regular and actor in the Martin Scorcese-produced HBO series Boardwalk Empire Edoardo Ballerini, for a sensual, teasingly ambiguous swimming lesson.”
