More than 70,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this “Great Recession.” Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising are forced to be creative with their own lives.
This is probably one of the most beautiful video I have ever seen. Originally posted on Share Some Candy.
For this season’s video documenting São Paulo Fashion Week’s summer shows, we narrow our sights on the the bikini. With help from a few fashion types—editors, models, designers and others—we take a look at the most quintessentially Brazilian wardrobe staple.
Artist Evan Roth, collected 2,400 individual graffiti tags from all over Paris for his new project called Graffiti Taxonomy. Evan explains that “the sets are not intended to display the “best” graffiti tags in Paris, but rather aim to highlight the diversity of forms ranging from upper case to lowercase, simple to complex and legible to cryptic.”

“The ten most commonly used letters by Paris graffiti writers were identified for further study (A,E,I,K,N,O,R,S,T and U). From each letter grouping, eighteen tags were isolated to represent the diversity and range of that specific character.”
Fashion label Nice Collective was started by self-described “nice guys” Joe Haller and Ian Hannula shortly after the two met at a club in San Francisco in 1995. Inspired by music, art, technology, performance, reptiles and spiders, science, Ian’s military experience and the San Francisco scene, the two set out to create experiences for themselves and their friends. Clothing quickly materialized as a core component of that desire, and since their first collection in 1997 Nice Collective has earned its place in the hearts and closets of those who make style their own. Its military and masculine influences combine with true innovation in cut, fabrication and material, aged ever-so-nicely.
We caught up with Joe and Ian at the launch event for their Spring 2009 collection, “Voix de Ville,” their first New York show. We experienced the “Time Machine” Fall 2009 show, also in New York, and capped it off with a visit to their San Francisco compound—where their home, office, studio and showroom inconspicuously house some of the freshest, unique and most exciting clothing and accessories being created today.
We have to say the cow, bar-code combination is spot on. This documentary starring author, Michael Pollan takes a closer look into the food industry. See the trailer here.
We all can relate to this one.

In this video, Friends of the Highline co-founder Robert Hammond tells the story of how he helped reinvent a gritty elevated railway into what is NYC’s most celebrated public space since Central Park. He shares images and animations of what the park (due to open in June) will look like at a talk for our recent 99% Conference and shares how he feels after a decade at work at the brink of its debut.
