Daria + Vogue + Inez & Vinoodh

A while back I had posted about Daria Werbowy becoming a staple in the industry (and I mean that in the best possible way) and how good it was too see her in more and more stuff.

She recently teamed with Inez & Vinoodh for a February Vogue Paris fashion editorial, and most importantly a promo video shot in Las Vegas. The photos are amazing, but the video is excellent! I really like the flashing editing, plus Jessica 6 provide the soundtrack.

Enjoy the video below.

Alpines

Alpines is a UK-based duo which has come to my attention only a couple of weeks ago (shame on me), when I found their collaboration with Dark Sky called Tremors. (Track at the end of this post)

I am currently obsessing over Coccoon (video -directed by hope- below) and their Akira Kiteshi Remix of Drive which heads to a much darker direction from the original version, in my humble opinion.

Sofia Coppola Directs The Marni/H&M Ad

So, here -in this post- we have H&M, Marni and Sofia Coppola. Too bad that by the time I go to Milan -in the beginning April- absolutely nothing will be left, since the Marni/H&M line will be available on March 8.

The ad, filmed in Marrakech-Morocco, showcases the multitude of prints in the line and has an impeccably classy 80s feel and hue. The result is as fitting to the line, as was the choice to go with Coppola for such a collaboration between the Italian fashion house and the Swedish retailer.

M.I.A. - Bad Girls (Like Cars, Apparently)

That twisted twisted mind of Romain Gavras can produce pure awesomeness (not a big fan of his more violent work however). The camera work in this video is amazing and -really- could the imagery be more appropriate for this amazing song?

Give A Little Heart

annakoumoushi strikes bulseye right at the center of our hearts with this awesome Valentine's Day promo. Created by the awesome Myria K! I love the "infographic" approach!

Not a V-Day kind of type myself, but this feels all warm and right.
