I'm in love with the work of jewellery designer Dominic Jones, particularly these impeccably sculpted and beautifully dangerous rings. These are from his very first collection last year: if this is his debut work I can't wait to see what he dreams up in the future. At £455 for my fave (the double claw rose-gold one at the top) it may be some time before I can sport such a delicious specimen...
Love the Rare Prints collection from Ray Ban for this summer: a creative take on the original Wayfarer. If I wasn't so prone to losing/breaking my possesions I'D nab myself a pair of the flowery badboys.
I love Pantone: for me it is branding perfection. Not only is it the market leader within the colour arena, it has intuitively and strategically expanded its brand into appropriate sectors ensuring it is top of its game in all its endeavours. Simple, crisp, clean and consistent, Pantone exudes credibility and good taste.
myPANTONE is an app for iPhone and iPad that allows access toPantone colour libraries and the ability to build colour palettes to share with colleagues and clients. Useful for designers and creatives on-the-go.
When I eventually get a house of my own it would make me REALLY happy to have every single Pantone mug and line them up in rainbow order round my kitchen! Better start collecting...
Another inspired expansion venture is the Pantone hotel in Brussels which opened in May 2010. Impeccably designed by Michel Penneman and Oliver Hannaert, the hotel stays true the brand and uses a distinct contrast of crisp white spaces which allows the saturated spot colours to pop. The design looks to be wonderfully considered with acute attention to detail. Just how I like it...I WANNA GO!
I had an interview for a marketing internship at Somerset House last month and learnt of the forthcoming Margiela exhibition in September. I love the anonymous, structural and conceptual nature of Margiela's stuff, and can't wait to see all the best pieces together in one place.
The interview went well; I didn't get the placement as they needed somebody to start immediately and I was still in the thick of my uni project. I was told to give them a shout again in September, which I daresay I will do if I'm still in the position to. I have always loved Somerset House and it would be such a beautiful building to be able to call your workplace! Time will tell as they say...
Thought I would share the new Cadbury Flake ad, created by Fallon.
Flake have always be renowned for their innovative and provocative advertising. In the 1970s an advertisement with Bond girl Eva Rueber-Staier was taken off the air after some more conservative-minded viewers complained that she was biting into the chocolate in an unnecessarily suggestive way...
Ten years ago, the Advertising Standards Authority received complaints from public about a national poster campaign depicting a bare-shouldered woman sucking on a bar, with the caption: "How much would you like this woman's job?"
Cadbury said the poster was innocently asking how much people would like to be paid to eat a Flake. Others surprisingly saw something of an innuendo in the wording...
Their newest addition to their advertising portfolio avoids controversy, but is noteworthy none-the-less. The movement and ruffles of a spectacularly billowing dress, created by Anthony Price, becomes a captivating analogy for the folds of a Flake chocolate bar. The result an ethereal beauty that is reminiscent of some sort of other-wordly sea creature...
