i had the opportunity to have matt as my model for NY fashion week. we spoke briefly, but seeing this makes me wish i had dug a little deeper.
people surprise you, all you have to do is give them a chance.

Alternative Landscapes by Benoit Paillé
Created out of Benoit’s dislike to traditional landscape photography he took it upon himself to create his on vision of landscape. By installing a cube of light amongst the natural surroundings you’re left questioning the reality of the situation. However, there’s no trickery or deceit here, the cube is genuine and has be suspended in mid air by Benoit himself.

fabric in a can?! who would have thought?! i love the idea of combining fashion with technology, now all they need to do is find a way to make it environmentally friendly.

my marketing professor has presented us with a project that is to explore and create our ideal brand - one that would be feasible and hopefully one that would be successful and have the potential to grow. with that in mind i have always had a love for craftsmanship but with the blur of a world that we live in now, the sense of value for a skill very few have is not necessarily understood and/or appreciated.
- how can a brand that values craftsmanship, sustain itself as well as potentially contribute to society and it’s country of origin’s economy?
- what can we do to allow for these men and women of skill to continue doing what they do without undermining their true worth?
- will we as a capitalist society be able to keep these artforms alive? or will we just continue to create and discard our people as if they are the material objects we once owned?
these type of questions posed along with stories like peter frew’s make it difficult to find it possible. but i haven’t lost hope… and maybe it will start with this project.
