Helmut Newton is just one of those people whose work I have had a love affair with, practically my whole life. Really, what’s not to like? Beautiful people, photographed beautifully, in beautiful and seductive settings. His photographs are a sort of an affirmation of life. They seem to be saying – “Yes, life can be beautiful and glamorous, and that’s just how it’s supposed to be!”
La vita é bella
Martina + Reem are very much in our creative family. Aside from being absolutely lovely humans and frequent collaborators, they are some of the most talented and hardest working creatives around. We have also had the pleasure of working with them on a capsule collection featuring some of their more ethereal and abstract photography.
A beautiful editorial featuring many of the pieces from our collaboration was recently published by Tantalum Magazine.

Sex, colour and desire have never been expressed more beautifully then in a Guy Bourdin image. His photographs are visually striking and complicated, all in one. They tell a story without ever giving away the ending or providing a resolution. His visionary work, is really one of my great life long loves and influences.
An excellent exhibition of his work is currently on view at The Somerset House in London. If you are there, it’s an absolute must.

This is a pretty rare thing for us. To get in front of the camera.
Often we are shooting or watching others shoot stuff that we make on models. Another words, we are usually “behind the scenes”. Recently Some Product got asked for some promo shots, of which we actually had none! We promptly asked old friend and fantastic photographer Johann Wall to help us out. His studio is a block away from ours and these shots were taken somewhere about half way in between. Johann works fast and with his easy going personality manages to capture those little moments that make for cool pictures…

Having just completed a massive collaboration with Martina+Reem, it is only fitting that we were dying to work on an editorial and a look book with these two generous and talented ladies. Last Sunday was truly a magical day at the beach and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. Without revealing too much, here are some “behind the scenes” images from the shoot. Stay tuned for more! xo

Today being Easter Sunday, it seems like the perfect day to post this photograph. A happy chance encounter outside the Prada store i n Omotosando, Tokyo.
We got our hands on some great pics of Alexis Young from Sex with Strangers on stage in our Crystals leggings. As well as singing and playing keys, Alexis is also a very talented designer and illustrator. Peep her work here. These photos are courtesy of Andy Scheffler, and her work can be seen here.
