Giovanni Gastel Photography

June 12, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Fashion, Italy, Photography, Portfolios, 2017

"Giovanni Gastel's static scenes provide an alluring and unsettling glimpse into private spaces characterised by poetic irony and balance"

"Combining minimalist design with voyeuristic angles, audiences are invited to measure and compare different modes of domesticity in the works of Giovanni Gastel. Each living room is a hive of conceptualised activity"

" Milan-born Giovanni Gastel first has contact with photography in the 1970s, which truly began to take shape in 1981 when he was introduced to the world of fashion, collaborating with the likes of @vogueitalia and @mondouomo. Ritratti di Living plays upon flattened shadows and deep colours, providing an emotional backdrop for the lifestyles advertised."

Splash by Bleeblu

May 05, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Fashion, Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2017

Bleeblu is a portrait photographer based in Miami Beach but travels too much. He was born in the Philippines but spent most of his youth on an island in the Pacific called Kwajalein. Month ago he shared a photo on his heavy crowded account @bleeblu and it went viral

A post shared by Designcollector - 14 Years (@designcollector) on Apr 11, 2017 at 5:25am PDT

“A month ago I took a photo I had the idea the night before. I imagined a girl being held up by her incredibly long hair—like ridiculously long. Doubtful I’d find a model with hair as long as I envisioned so I just altered the idea to fit the photo shoot I was already doing.

I uploaded the photo and within 5 minutes can tell it was going to do really well. Just not 130,000 likes and 2,000 comments really well. I don’t know what I did or how it happened, but I’m glad.”

Maria is a graduate from Parsons School of Design with a MFA in Fashion Design & Society, also holds a BFA in Fashion Design from the British Higher school of Art & Design, Moscow and a Graduate Diploma in Fashion from Central Saint Martins, London.

RHX11 Human Storage System by Konstantin Kofta

March 27, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Fashion, Ukraine, Portfolios, 2017

Kofta is no ordinary bag designer. His backpacks resemble works of art rather than the emphatically practical and minimalist pieces. This is a melange of imagery, containing raw thoughts, tameless animals, deep forests, abandoned buildings and ancient architecture.

“Humankind is not the first and not the last intelligent race on earth. Erenow, blue blood was flowing in the veins of living creatures. Blood is nothing but a liquid metal. Accomplished technology is indistinguishable from the magic. Mankind has transformed himself and knowledge into artificial intelligence. Existence becomes smarter and faster, it achieves an ability to adapt for radical global changes. The Era of Mankind is coming to its end.”

— Kofta
