Jez Tozer
After 3 years working as Nick Knight’s first assistant Jez is carving his own visual language and approach to photography and fashion. There is a kinetic energy throughout his work - from the minute long exposures to the more recent sequences.
Currently he is particularly interested in definite moments - drumbeats. A set of plural points but all exact within a series. The indefinite moment is represented by a series of shots taken in quick succession and has become a sequence rather than an indefinite period within one image.

Form By Giuliano Fujiwara
giuliano Fujiwara has signed a new licence agreement for the manufacturing and distribution of a home furnishing and home design collection. This is second licence for the brand, following those signed for the eyewear collection, and for the skin care line which is yet only distributed on the Japanese market.
The venture has been undertaken in partnership with Formitalia, one of Italy’s leading design companies boasting a long tradition in the manufacturing of top quality furniture and home accessories with superior finishing details.The decision to set foot in the field of home furnishing is an offspring of Masaka Matsumura’s eclectic personality. The twenty-seven-year-old designer of the brand, as ever alert and eager to explore the infi nite possibilities offered by contemporary design, was keen to add another element towards the creation of an overall giuliano Fujiwara lifestyle.
“The underlying philosophy that holds together each and every collection I create is always the same: formal minimalism and a mixture of styles have been and will continue to remain my trademark. In particular, for the furniture collection I have chosen apparently contrasting matches, such as the one between vintage wood and technological fabrics, leaving it to the experience of our partner in this new adventure to see to the more specifi cally technical aspects of design and manufacturing. As in the fashion collections I envisage, my aim here is a blend of Japanese identity and Italian handicraft, creating pieces that are at one and the same time sophisticated and essential. The shaping idea behind these new creations is best expressed through the Japanese word wabi-sabi, which denotes the subtle beauty hidden in everything that is imperfect, unfi nished, human”.

Hair Hats By Nagi Noda of Uchu Country
I don't know what's with the grey top box when I do a selective screen capture on my imac and it's definitely getting irritating when it happens most of the time but here, below are hair hats.

"Five years ago I started creating my accessories, the first piece was a fabric necklace. All of my accessories are about playing with functions and illusions. The camera is a mirror, the watch is no time, no limit and the hand watch is stopped at 9h05 because the number 9 means progress in Thailand.
Most of my materials are from my interior background, wood, plexiglass, plastic and brass. I would like to stay in Paris and sell my products around the world and participate in Paris fashion week. I work only for myself but now I am doing an internship at Maison Martin Margiela."
