Photography Inspiration

Below you will find the exclusive photographs shot by Chadwick Tayler and styled by Fashion Director Karen Langley for the November issue of Dazed & Confused. Tyler said about the inspirations for the shoot: "Karen and I spoke about trying a story that very loosely was inspired by the resurgence of lo-fi art interpretations. There really weren't many references in the shoot itself. The inspiration came in the processing after the shoot. I worked with Aaron Amaro and Jon Banthorpe on the post production. We wanted to apply hand techniques to each image. There are a lot of reproductions on top of reproductions. Each piece had it's own technique applied from hand painted textures to open light scans three and four generations from the original. We chose Charlie because she was new and we wanted someone that had not really been shot before. She just seemed to fit the project."

bookmarc

So the new term is well underway, but you may still may be feeling a little unprepared. Don't fret, it's never too late to get those essential  materials (pens, pencils, note pad etc.) but who's to say you have to settle for end-of-the-line goods, jazz up your pencil case with the latest designer stationary, Bookmarc! It's a small collection created by fashion designer Marc Jacobs to complement the launch of his West Village bookstore - also named Bookmarc. The items are priced around $8 and range from notebooks to tote bags. Sounds too good to be true, that's because it is, there's a catch; until you can fly to the U.S, you'll be waiting for your designer stationary, the new Bookmarc collection is only available in the Bookmarc store (400 Bleecker St, Manhattan). My tip, get searching eBay.
