Two Events with Leon Emanuel Blanck
Dear readers – we would like to invite you to two events in New York this weekend with the German designer Leon Emanuel Blanck, whose anatomic work results in garments of unparalleled complexity.
Roger Ballen – Outland
The New York born, South Africa-based photographer Roger Ballen’s breakthrough came when he published “Outland” in 2001. The book made a splash, sold out quickly, and is now being republished by Phaidon. Ballen was already an established photographer when he produced a video I Fink U Freeky for Die Antwoord in 2012. Most recently, his work has been painted onto the backs of leather jackets for the latest Comme des Garcons Homme Plus collection.

Shop:Case – DAAD DANTONE, MILAN
Dear readers,
We’ve been getting a lot of requests to highlight some of our favorite shops around the world. We heard you and we begin our series with DAAD-DANTONE in Milan.
DAAD DANTONE is a multibrand boutique for men and women, as well accessories, shoes, jewelry, and fragrances from the likes of Rick Owens, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Deepti, m.a.+, Layer 0, Gareth Pugh, Damir Doma, Undercover, Jan Jan Van Essche, and others.
The shop, founded in the 1960s, showcases women and men’s collections in an refined and minimal monochrome display. Since the beginning, the boutique was based on an intimate lounge, an alternative concept for Milan’s “Quadrilatero” fashion system.
Work:Space – Daniel Andresen
We would like to present to you the workspace of Daniel Andresen, who designs and produces his knitwear in Antwerp. All knitwear is made in-house, without any outsourcing.
A Shaded View on Fashion Film in Chicago
We are co-hosting Diane Pernet’s Film Festival, A Shaded View on Fashion Film in Chicago this May with Gallery Aesthete and School of Art Institute of Chicago. There will be a Q&A session with Diane Pernet after the screenings. We hope you can join us.
Martin Margiela Documentary
Last week we alerted you to the new mini-documentary on Martin Margiela. It has now been released online by the YOOX group.
Video: Iris Van Herpen x Russell Maliphant
This video with clothes by Iris van Herpen and choreography by Russel Maliphant was shot by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, who have collaborated with Bjork and Alexander McQueen, for AnOther Magazine. The music is by Salvador Breed, who has done all the music for Iris van Herpen (and not just because they are a couple!).
Martin Margiela: The Artist is Absent
One of the premieres at the current TriBeCa Film Festival is a mini-documentary on Martin Margiela, “The Artist is Absent,” directed by Alison Chernik. How do you make a documentary about a designer notoriously recluse? You interview other important people.
Among them, Jean-Paul Gaultier, the designer who gave Margiela his first job, the fashion critic Suzy Menkes, Raf Simons, who credits seeing a Margiela show for the first time with his desire to become a fashion designer, and our dear friend, the Belgian makeup artist Inge Grognard, who did the makeup for those iconic early Margiela’s shows.
