see you all, koudlam

Getting hyped by Hanna Hanra at The Beat and with good reason. This is the same Frenchman that did the music for Kenneth Anger’s film for Missoni earlier this year. Scares me in a Gaspar Noé way.

h tattoo, by liam sparkes

Took this using my chin and as a result the tattoo I just got a couple of hours ago didn’t really come out very well, rings look alright though. H is for Hugo my new nephew/god son.

Could totally be in this video, just need to brave a return to my circa 94 ponytail… This feels well Shane Meadows thinking about it – like the end of Dead Man’s Shoes. AKA brutal.

raf loves fred, qvest june/july 2008

Was going through some old tears and found this piece I did about the first Raf Simons and Fred Perry collaboration collection for QVEST Magazine. Was so happy with this when I found a copy in the old Borders on Charing Cross Rd (RIP).  Loved the accompanying editorial styled by Tamara Rothstein. Love the underwear shoot coming through the scan too.

Should be wrong on a load of levels but isn’t. Pitching somewhere between Snake Plissken, Joshua Tree, and Cyber Dog. Reckon half this look can be sourced at B&Q too. Photos by Kenneth Capello
