We’ve been making a little something for Topshop recently, based on the classic Helmut Newton Photo Machine concept of self photography, but bringing it to the streets of London, Dublin and Manchester to capture what you guys are wearing! Cute huh.

“… the twentieth century’s most influential, intriguing and controversial photographer, Helmut Newton and his ingenious ‘Newton Machine. Having inspired many photographers, designers and artists over the years, Newton’s iconic style and love of strong, powerful women is still heavily referenced today.

Read more about the special set up and the icon Helmut Newton, or bundle straight into the gallery here Some people really know how to strike a pose ( and some people should not be allowed out in public! ). You decide which …

Avant Gandhi. Genius.

I just love this image. I’d been wanting to do something for ages with these colours, and then i spotted this. Textural black and white photography with stark yellow shapes multiplied over. The contrast between the form underneath and the sharpness of the geometric shape does something to the image that makes it so much stronger. And here the use of type is spot on. Looks like a music, design and culture magazine. I can’t read german, but if you read it let me know what you think ?

More Black White and Yellow below and new typeface Myld, which looks to be an adaptation of Avant Garde. More typographic sexiness over at TypeNeu blog.

Yes yes, i am glad to see that neon, rock, and flying v’s are transcending all geographical and cultural borders in their bid to take over the world. From this pic is seems that Buenos Aires should be twinned with Shoreditch for sure. This is Cherry - Sporting an equally impressive fake guitar accessory. Good work lady. This is AcidRock ClubPub in a nutshell. They even have the massive cassette! There’s a future in giant accessories mark my words ….

Sweet!

Cool bracelets for chaps cut from out of recycled old camera lenses. Only one of each available. Clever idea, and beautiful results. You can buy them here. I have a similar bracelet Cookie got me, made out of a stainless steel ruler. It rocks - and it’s handy too ; ) Link via photographer, Greg.

How charming … ;)  (  Product design by Enpieza  - check out their Biro Lamp too!)

Reminds me of this amazing t-shirt John made ages ago - Treehouse Error. Makes me laugh! Very dark.

Or should that be ‘Bag-Shoe’ ? Hmmm. I guess if you had a pair it would be. Whatever… I like it! I once went to a Chavs Vs Goths fancy dress party with a rather fetching pink-stiletto-bag constructed in a similar vein. It’s amazing what you could get for 4 quid on Bromley high street…

Nice looking, if indecisive, Yes No Yes No tee from Graniph. Reminds me of something you’d look at with 3D glasses Great colours. Really into the hand-drawn type at the minute. Via Ffffound.

Nice little mouse bag & phone bag. Love the plastic button details on the phone, but the curly cord for the strap is brilliant : ) Lots more oddness here. Cheers for the link Claire!

Nice idea eh! Look so good too. From component parts you can create your own landscape combo - A little scene on your finger. I love these. For more pics and a look at her other works nip over to Zelda’s site. Link Via Tres Plus Cool

Simple and cute. For lady geeks everywhere!

I’ve been beavering away for a while now on some new stuff for Kate Moss and her new Topshop collection. It’s quite simply a visual blog featuring the lovely Moss herself, scantily clad, on the beach … rolling around in the sea - well, it is the summer collection. Visually rich as a fashion showcase should be, it’s emphasis is on eclectic typography, and super close-up photography so you can get right in and see the details of the clothing. Some nice full width video in there too. Check it out and tell me what you reckon. More info here on the Poke site too. Also, the old site is did is gone now, but you can see a bit about it here.

While we’re on the pillow / cushion theme Check out this Flying V Guitar pillow from the Gamma-Go shop! All this lovely stuff plus loads of t-shirts. Go Now!

No, this isn’t about Amy Winehouse.

It’s about felt-tip tattoo parties… Brilliant! I missed it though, Damn. So for next time ( when’s the next one Rex ?? ), keep an eye on the Rex’s Hairy Teeth Blog, pack your pencilcase and get down to SMACK for a bit of dancing and doodling action…

I love the way the t-shirt design escapes down his arm. We should all draw on each other more often…
