Loving right now...


I have no idea about nail polish, but I know what the latest trend is! Everyone is talking about the Chanel Mimosa nail polish.... and I like this color, yes I do!
Apparently it is not released yet, so I can't go and see what i looks like with my own eyes, but I can definitely say now that I will not be buying it! I will indeed get a much cheaper option.

Scketchbook stuff

In one of my latest projects I conducted various researches. One of them was to research about the word Matriarchy so I could come up with visuals related to the subject.
I came up with this painting of a Nair lady. This painting dates from 1928 by Rao Bahadur M. V. Dhurandhar.






A couple of days later browsing through my March issue of Vogue magazine UK, I came across this other image, from the editorial 'Ocean Colour Scene' by Mario Testino.





I find it fascinating how alike pictures and images from different eras are...

Mannequins

Tomorrow I am visiting the VM and Display Show at the Business Design Center in Islington. Just because of that, I think this is a great time to show you this video directed by Upper First, where they used mannequins to screen their amazing visuals, creating a really cool effect almost as if the mannequins were dressed.





Lesson learnt: we will not only use mannequins to put clothes on!
