Cocoons

Yet another video treat from the team behind Ravishing Mad. I fucking loooove the kinds of creative drive that propel little geniuses like Anna Ö to turn a haircutting session with a friend into an eerily puzzling short film about transformation and attraction. André de Loisted shot it, Anna Ö edited and cut hair and Anna-Carin gained a brand new hair-do - a very stylish one, I may add. Oh yeah, and I suggested the music. It's a track from INvbaei's first album length release and free for download at iLLpHABETik.com - go get it, you will love it!

I could've and maybe should've blabbered more about Anna Österlunds clothing label Ravishing Mad before, but I wanted to wait until these pics were out. First of all, it is the first collection where I have had the honor of co-designing a piece and second, the photos that go with this collection is by far the ones that so far have turned out the best. MAD PROPS to Caleb Eike Smith for handling everything behind the camera and being nothing short of puppet master for me and Anna Ö in front of it.
All pictures were shot around Stockholm - we drove around from locatiuon to location for around 17 hours, went back to the flat and slept for 4, and did the indoor shots at the art space Detroit the next day. Oh yeah, the jewellery we are wearing in some of the pics are some insanely beautiful pieces designed by Hanna Hedman - CHECK HER OUT, her work is out of this world.

Caleb is a wicked talented photographer I recently met through Anna Ö. We did a marathon shoot, spending 17 hours or so cruising Stockholm for coolspots. Some of the pics will be used for the Ravishing Mad SS 11 collection catalogue and some, I guesshopefear, will be for Caleb to use as he sees fit.

The Ravishing Mad pics will most def be posted here, too, when ready.

Anyways, I can only recommend keeping an eye on Mr. Smith - he's a star. He is exhibiting with Isak Boardman at Galleri Kocks (lovely name, btw) in Stockholm from tomorrow until July 20.

...mad props to Anna Ö of Ravishing Mad for pointing my nose to this.
The thing is, I used to have a serious man-crush on Harmony Korine for his creative M.O. and his sick, grimy aesthetics. Until recently I was positive that I was over it - I even watched "Kids" again without pulling my dick out and wanting for the mastermind behind that story, and though - even now - it seems I can keep my composure just enough to write this, I am forever certain that a part of my soul will be Harmonys to keep.
Fuck you, Harmony Korine for staying insanely cooler than everyone else. And btw, a very grateful fåk you Anna, for reminding me of him.
