Da Face

If you haven't seen it already and are an avid Kate Moss fan/stalker/career watcher you need to get down to the Gimpel Fils gallery this week and check out 'The Face'.

Corinne Day is an incredible photographer who has shot for the likes of  British Vogue, she's also self taught which I really admire.

It's the exhibitions last day next Saturday so don't waste any more time.

Here's a few of my snaps:

Simple but effective

The professional I most admire is not a footballer or a lofty spoken QC it's an Adman. Nope it's not Sorrell it's Saatchi obviously

Charles not Maurice.

The man helped build perhaps the only advertising agency the man in the street recognises, helped create some incredible and iconic campaigns, became a much lauded art collector with a beautiful gallery and married Nigella. I haven't even mentioned his wit yet. Where exactly do you go from there?

I also quite like the brothers manta 'brutal simplicity of thought'. Of course technology and news ways of speaking to consumers play a massive part in selling products and building brands but it has and will always been about the idea.

For more on the 'Brutal simplicity of thought' mantra you can buy into it wholesale with the book released to coincide with the V&A exhibition as part of London Design week.

See you there. 

Hot Rod

He may look like a dour accountant but David Rodigan certainly knows his Dub and Reggae. I was pretty suprised it would be free to catch him at the Brick Lane festival this Saturday and Sunday.

Normally I wouldn't get massively excited about the Brick Lane Festival but if the weathers right this could be pretty special.

Tickets for the Brick Lane fest are free, you just need a wrist band so why not get involved. 

If your hesitant check out the sample below.
