Strange. I love origami artwork, and I also love Hermès scarves. I normally don’t have much patience for unnecessarily expensive items of luxury, but Hermes scarves have always been peerless in quality and class and that’s something I can appreciate. My mom has like a 100 of them and she always wears them with the […]

Another in our series of great commercials that elevate the artform. Created by French director Edouard Salier, he of the latest and much-blogged-about Massive Attack video “Splitting the Atom”, this Argentinian commercial Coke Quest tells a story in the framework of a football-obsessed South American lad fighting robots.

Colorwise Givenchy’s keeping it simple and stark, using mostly dark greys, black and white, with a couple incorporating velcro strapping.
