3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
Recently debuted on NOWNESS , Detour is the fashion movie directed by Anna Radchenko, exploring a study of one woman's sensual solitary experience
“In Detour my heroin arrives in quite an unusual space where she at first enjoys herself and her new encounters, but then the mood changes dramatically, there is chase, heartbeat, and who knows if she manages to finally leave at the end?”
Professional fashion photographer Danil Golovkin shares his latest project "Ophelia" commissioned by King Kong Magazine
“Photographer Danil Golovkin was inspired by the progress of Ophelia throughout the play’s narrative. She begins as a blooming virgin, enamoured with her courtly love, only to become so distressed by Hamlet’s treatment of her and the corruption and bitterness that pervades the Danish court that she is driven to madness and her eventual death. As a visual metaphor for this erosion of Ophelia’s naivety, Golovkin and stylist Kseniya Berezovskaya painted fake tattoos onto model Julia’s face, which were then steadily washed off over the course of the shoot.”
Russian illustrator Karina Eibatova (you may remember her by latest work for Hotel on Rhodes Island) decided to make your year 2017 much brighter than previous one and you can't disagree with that fact. "Best Wishes, 2017" is her new initiative where you can enter and preorder a beautiful print and a scarf to deliver you each month with a challenging lifestyle message next year. Karina spent 5 years in creating this project so at the end you will enjoy your full 12-pieces season collection of her artworks and scarves or even few of them if you book a season or two of it on Kickstarter page
“The idea is to share my art through the clothing and interactive poster in which a person could write a goal of the month, inspired by the artwork. The project is created to inspire and motivate people, to make art less elitarian, to share a collaborative vibe of an artist and a musician.”

Award-winning fine-art and fashion photographer based in Antwerp Klaartje Lambrechts create awesome visual stories you won't be missing following her profile and reviewing selected works below
Caroline Morin is a French illustrator and photographer based in Nantes. She has developed a feminine and refined universe mixing delicate sketches, interplay of lights and shadows and fashion inspiration. Her drawings with non-existent faces intrigue and take us in an outstanding world where beauty meets strangeness. Using negative space, clean lines, and a limited colour palette, her portraits of young women are seemingly weightless and effortless, a true breath of fresh air in a culture otherwise filled to the brim with visual clutter.

Our friend and resident of Digital Decade Antwerp-based artist Louise Mertens released large-scaled print series titled AKANE
“A new series I’ve been working on during the past few months. Inspired by time, colors, shapes, textures and many impressions I’ve saved during the process of creating. Akane means ‘Deep Red’, the subtle yet strongest color used in the series. All visuals are directed and developed from beginning till end by me and my amazing team. It’s the first time I’ve been working on such large scale”
"Brian Ziff presents the Schön Magazine exclusive, "Rite of Spring." In this haunting series, we watch as the new season emerges from the death of the last; nectar flows, hummingbirds suckle and flowers bloom as the cold, hapless body of winter succumbs to the verdant inevitability of spring. Each tableau is first shot and composited by Brian Ziff, and then painstakingly animated by Ethan Chancer, creating a moment forever in limbo as nature's yearning tendrils thread the darkness under the trance of a soft, crisp breeze."

"Babeth Lafon is a beauty and lifestyle illustrator from Paris currently based in Berlin. Her work is characterised by pastel colours, layers of transparent washes and brushy textures which she creates for fashion magazines, cosmetics packagings and luxury brands." via
“I was born in Paris from French/Vietnamese parents who fled the war in the ‘70s, and as a teen, I’ve always thought of Saigon as my ‘real’ hometown (both my parents were born there).
Until I went backpacking there for a few weeks as a young woman, and realised that Paris was definitely my one and only hometown. I felt like a stranger in Vietnam, much more so than all the constant racism I grew up with in France could ever make me feel.
Still to this day, I have fantasies of tropical windows, sleepy hot afternoons and colourful details mixing up with my actual teenage years memories and obsessions – a mash-up made of bits and pieces from my real teenage bedroom in Paris and a dreamy Saigon, one I’ll never get to see. Now at last, it exists here, and strangely I feel more complete”

New York based fashion photographer Kristina Varaksina explores the topic of extreme beauty in her recent photo shoot session "Porcelain Beauty" (that just got 1st place in Beauty category at International Photography Awards)
Kristina’s focus is to capture human emotion and the psychological impressions of her subjects' mind – permitting the characters to project their internal reality. Works undertaken are keen to explore a female and child perspective, evoking their thoughts, dreams and hopes.
““Made in Italy,” is a label that deserves to be noticed as it consistently stands for impeccable craftsmanship, extreme inventiveness, and subtle yet noticeable sophistication. All three of these titles can easily be bestowed both upon Santoni shoes, the purveyor of fine, hand-made Italian artisanship and the compelling work of storytelling photographer, Simone Bramante, aka @brahmino. No surprise then that the two have joined collaborative forces for Tales of Colours, the new campaign highlighting the mastery, art, and narrative represented within the stitches and fine leather of each handmade Santoni shoe. ”
