Traces by Abbie Stephens

in , , , , ,

Inspiring video created to mark the launch of Spanish designer Emilio De La Morena's SS13 collection, Abbie Stephens' film plays light against dark to accentuate the textural details and silhouettes across the range. Drawing inspiration from the themes of memory and perception that Emilio used as the basis for his new pieces, Abbie creates and inverts worlds to play with the line between imagination and reality.

An Ode to Creative Work

in ,

Behance Creative Network released An Ode to Creative Work as a visual statement of all designers and artistic persons.

"Creative work is a labor of love. All too often, we celebrate creation and overlook the difficult and emotional labor behind the scenes. Anyone who creates for a living knows all too well the doubts and barriers - both within us and around us - that challenge us every day. From the very beginning, our team at Behance has sought to discuss and support the "work" part of the creative world - the "99% perspiration" - that goes into making ideas happen."
