chanel show in paris




trailing paper veins of monochromatic roses, daisies, petals and leaves bloom at the Chanel 2009 Spring-Summer Haute Couture show. based on mlle Chanels idea that "women think about all colors, except the absence of color. for me black has everything. So does white. they are absolute beauty. they are the perfect match. dress a woman in white or in black at a ball and all eyes will be upon her"

crow

the contrast of black and white illustration is always so striking....adding the element of motion makes it even more incredible.

art & copy


ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time -- people who've profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for "Just Do It," "I Love NY," "Where's the Beef?," "Got Milk," "Think Different," and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion. see it here http://artandcopyfilm.com/
