Couple months ago the frenchies at Jalouse Magazine did an issue dedicated to Japan, Tokyo to be precise.

Seems like the magazine really liked the trip so they are putting Nobuyoshi Araki iconic polaroids on the cover.

Those who are familiar with the Tokyo scene will recognize Mademoiselle Yulia signature blue hair.

We need to get our hands on a copy real quick.

FLOWERBALL_1.png
Two new works by Takashi Murakami, created in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, will be exhibited at the Louis Vuitton Champs-Elysées boutique in Paris in January 2010.

These works are two types of hand-embroidered tapestries: a round carpet titled “Flowerball” and a square carpet titled “Pink Time”.
"Epitomizing skilled craftsmanship, the tapestries have been woven from the finest quality New Zealand wool using the lock stitching method, which employs about 20 knots per square centimeter. These tapestries, numbered and signed by the artist himself, are produced in two sizes (2m and 3m diameter for “Flowerball” and 2x2m or 3x3m for “Pink Time”), in a limited edition of 20 each. At least 4 months are required to produce one of these masterpieces, combining know-how, tradition, innovation, elegance and art. These “collector” art pieces are created by hand and upon request only, by manufacturers in India. Available for purchase, they will be exhibited next year in Paris."

The tapestries have been shown this year in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao as part of Murakami’s retrospective exhibition, at the Louis Vuitton Omotesando store in Tokyo, and in the Hong Kong Museum of Art (as part of the “Louis Vuitton: The Passion of Creation” exhibition).
 

_12.jpg To introduce new colorway of the Fly Generation line, Reebok teamed up with photographer Nan Goldin and Vice Uk.

The idea was to find stylish girls from 11 different countries including Germany, France, Egypt, Turkey, Russia, and Poland to be the face of Reebok Fly Generation.

"Nan Goldin’s photographs are as touching and present today as they were thirty years ago. Their fascination does not necessarily stem from their subject matter—oscillating between glamour and the gutter, with moments of euphoria and happiness—but from their radical intimacy. Goldin approaches only those who are close to her with her camera, thus sensitively capturing identity, sexuality, desire, violence, sickness and mourning. She does not just empathize with the hardships and pleasures of her friends and family, but is herself therein an essential part. Her immediate photographs are considered as an authentical image of her living invironment. At the same time Goldin is still breaching taboos with her highly politically diary."


This collaboration was a real challenge for the artist. It is always hard for such an iconic character that never did "commercial" photography before, to work on that type of project.

The result is not dissapointing at all. Goldin manages to keep her signature style while promoting the new line. More photos after the jump.
