Nike think outside the (shoe) box

Nike Free Run+, not just for running.

Online film for the Nike Free Run+, where the running shoes are the star of a DJ set. Created out of Wieden + Kennedy, Tokyo, this is memorable, fresh and relevant.

Merry Grolschmas

This is a nice little Christmas card from Grolsch. Led by conductor Thomas Blunt, seven members of the specially assembled ‘Swingtop Philharmonic Orchestra’ create a beautiful rendition of 'Oh Christmas Tree' by playing every element of the Grolsch bottle.

iPad meets iTypewriter

Wow! I've just seen this being demonstrated on the Gadget Show and I love it! I think I'll be adding it to my list to Santa this year in fact.

There's something about the ostrich...

First Cadbury, with their 'flying ostrich' tv ad and now Louis Vuitton no less. The unassuming ostrich has been far from burying his head in the sand of late.

The window display, seen at the Bond Street Louis Vuitton store is centred around this rather peculiar (and some would even say 'ugly') creature. Everyday an ostrich egg is hatched and a new product revealed - a shoe, watch, or accessory. I love the imagination and the execution of this piece. It makes me want to buy into the Louis Vuitton vision. Display by Chameleon Visual Limited.

Aphex Twin - Live facial mapping

I have seen Aphex Twin live at Matter in the O2, and that was a great show. (My ears are still bleeding from the bass). But I am sad I didn't get to experience his set at LED this weekend - especially when I found out about his 'audience participation' visuals. Amazing! And very Aphex.

Great post production (and soundtrack)

Newport State of Mind

One of the best spoofs I've seen/heard recently, DLKW account executive Leo Sloley has created this beauty - his take on Jay Z's 'Empire State of Mind'. Lines like 'Steve Jones, Tom Jones, Zeta-Jones, traffic cones, if you come and visit use the Designated Parking Zones' are simply brilliant.

There aren't enough mime artists used in advertising if you ask me

Bose Quiet Comfort. Acoustic noise cancelling headphones.

WARNING: Strobe lines are used during this performance.

This artist must have sore eyes! James Marshall (more commonly known as Dalek) has produced five new paintings shown as above, that are certainly not shy nor retiring. His work has been explained as 'colortastic explosigazms'. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Coco Chanel Show Paris 2010

I keep meaning to put this up. It is simply beautiful.

One of my friend's was lucky enough to create the look for The Chanel Couture show, creating the models' hair. And when I saw his pictures of the runway I just had to share them.

Karl Lagerfeld came up with the idea of the lion with a pearl in a dream he had about the late Coco Chanel’s (ironically) miniature lion sculpture.

Below is also the making of the dream into reality.
