TOD’S NO_CODE LIFESTYLE WITH JAMES JAGGER AND SELECTED INFLUENCERS OF THE LONDON ARTISTIC SCENE

 

The ss2013 Tod's No_Code capsule collection, that combines a long heritage of shoe making with the cutting-edge lifestyle of the visionary editor Jefferson Hack, gets new strength through the words of selected influencers of the London artistic scene like James Jagger, Layo Paskin, Carolina Bucci, Tom Oxley and Polly Morgan.

Carolina Bucci
 They’re the protagonists of the Tod’s No_Code dedicated site,  where they exclusively unveil, through their work, videos and interviews, their lifestyle and their Tod’s No_Code spirit. They represent the energy and spirit of what makes London one of the most exciting places for culture and style today.

They are global nomads travelling time zones and cityscapes moving from airport lounges to studios, from bars to meeting rooms. They mix English eccentricity, a sense of humor about fashion and a certain rock and roll attitude that makes the collection come alive. «No_Code creates beautiful, elegant shoes and jackets that mix Italian craftsmanship with a London inspired sensibility. The Spring / Summer 2013 collection is called “London Calling”. It’s a return to London and East London», says Jefferson Hack.

Layo Paskin
Tod’s No_Code dedicated site brings the digital storytelling of the brand to a new dimension, with special digital initiatives where users can discover the collection, be redirect to Tod’s online shop to buy and discover special and exclusive contents.

STELIOS KALLINIKOU | WITHIN NARRATIVES

"Photographs in the

interstitial space of desire

and death, sceneries, bodies,

hands, animals, mountains

and birds, come together in

an encounter to create a

narration which is left

without an ending.

A narration open to various

interpretations. Images that

want to take off but

constantly keep landing. A

catholic silence that yet one

clearly feels there is a roar

that underlies it, lightning

which strikes within a

tranquil seaside scenery,

making darkness into light

even for an instance."

MARNI UOMO BOOK

Dear iDEALS, in collaboration with art director Dean Langley, the brand has explored the aesthetics of the men’s FW 2013-2014 , photographed by Clare Shilland. This project re-affirms Marni’s commitment to explore the menswear collection by experimenting with different mediums; last season a short film, this season a book.

The menswear presents an exciting opportunity for Marni to reach out in this new way to define and bring alive the collection in a relevant alternative to a fashion show. Consuelo Castiglioni was inspired by the work of art director Dean Langley.

The collaborations starting point was the spirit of the mens collection and Marni’s creative approach to it. Consuelo was interested in experiencing the collection through the eyes of someone who had not been involved in the design, to have a new angle and a new take on the visual communication of Marni Uomo. Working with the Marni team, Dean Langley created a non linear portfolio of images, merging playful graphic elements with beautiful stills. The shocking fluo pink is an bold theme throughout the book, while the patterns are the seasons’ prints, typically used on the clothes, are photographed, enlarged and re-imagined. The Marni logo is manipulated in provocative new ways as well.

The book MARNI UOMO is printed in a limited edition and will be available in all Marni boutiques featuring the menswear collection as well as on Marni.com. An exclusive short film on the website will offer a preview of the project.

MIRKOG. DI BRANDIMARTE FW 2013-14

“I still remember that scene.

Her golden hair waving in the

wind…The blue armour she

wore and the moon rays

shining on it…That’s how we

met and that’s the way the Holy

Grail War began”.

(cit. Fate Stay Night/ Emiya Shirō)

Through the most recent video-ludic experiences, Type-moon delivers us one of the most fascinating fantasy tales, then becoming a today’s epic, magic and touching visual novel, thanks to Dat Nishiwaki’s drawing.

A particular character, Arturia Pendragon, who became King after pulling the sword out of the rock, inspires the whole collection. Once again, a strong woman with a more and more determined and domineering nature is in the spotlight. Fringes and sequins shape the body with forms similar to knights’ bright armours, without disregarding the sensualand hyper-feminine side which still distinguishes MirkoG. di Brandimarte brand.

Thank you Maximilian and Serena

Three (Talents) in a Boat Kate Fichard / Bernhard Kahrmann / Erica Nyholm

Kate Fichard - Iris, 2010
Do you know the sense of humour of British writer and journalist Jerome Klapka Jerome? Definitely far from the ways of farse, easy puns and obscene innuendos, this humour in fact derives from observation of common and daily circumstances. From the unsuspected. His name is most commonly associated to his most famous work, the comedy Three Men in a Boat (1889).

above: Bernhard Kahrmann - Le Pli, 2013 below: Bernhard Kahrmann - No Title, 2011

Boating upstream in river Thames, friends Jerome, Harris and George, with their loyal friend Montmorency the dog, travel on their boat for days and live new and unexpected adventures that never fail to move. Three main characters at comparison, each with their own unique language. Three artists compared: Bernhard, Erica and Kate. Only one will: communicate. Here they are on the same boat. Playing.

They suggest three different readings of the surrounding world, all joined by a strong sensitivity, attention and aesthetic research. Bernard Kahrmann (German, born in 1973), Erica Nyholm (Finnish, born in 1982) and Kate Fichard (Anglo-French, born in 1987) launch the first collective exhibition curated by Domenico de Chirico.

Two of them were among the “Jeune Talents” in the Paris Photo edition of 2012.

While the water and family sceneries frame self-reflection wishes (Erica Nyholm) and the light shows itself in hues of gleams, so dear to Giuseppe Ungaretti (Bernard Kahrmann), the suspension and capsizing highlight the unforeseen with a touch of witticism (Kate Fichard). "To Say Nothing of the Dog"!
