JAMIE BOCHERT FOR BLK DNM WILD POSTER

Wild Poster 11 Lo Res

BLK DNM’s 11th wild poster campaign features one of our fave models of the moment, Jamie Bochert in Jeans 26; the poster launched across downtown New York yesterday.

Beginning in 2011, the BLK DNM wild poster campaign remains their only form of traditional advertising. It continues to embody the idea of strong, independent women going in their own direction.  The previous guerrilla denim campaigns — all photographed by Johan — feature Anja Rubik, Gisele Bündchen, Caroline de Maigret, Arizona Muse, Karen Elson, Kenza Fourati, Frankie Rayder, Erin O’Connor, Tanga Moreau and Stella Schnabel.

The 11th poster campaign encourages women to take the lead, a very important message for Johan Lindeberg, his muse (and ourselves of course).

Creative Director Johan says “With this wild poster, I want to encourage women to take the lead.. And by using great values, to inspire and guide us to a new era with less turmoil and conflict.. Macho men had far too many chances.. It’s time to let go..”

Jeans 26 are available to be purchased at Net A Porter.

GREATEST BOX SET SOUNDTRACKS

While storylines, acting, graphics and sets are hugely important, many viewers often underestimate the impact that a musical soundtrack can have on production value. To celebrate the efforts of musical production teams, we’ve put together a list of some of the greatest box set soundtracks in existence, from modern greats to timeless classics.

game of thrones

Game of Thrones

Composed by German born Ramin Djawadi, the HBO Game of Thrones soundtrack is nothing short of an instrumental masterpiece. The dramatic Main Title theme song is instantly recognisable and has embedded itself in contemporary pop culture. Search ‘Game of Thrones song’ on YouTube and you’ll be bombarded with covers from jazz groups, bagpipers, rock bands and everyone in-between. The Game of Thrones Season 4 soundtrack is just as impressive as its predecessors, featuring a cameo appearance from Icelandic band Sigur Rós as well as 21 other original compilations. Djawadi has most definitely done the epic fantasy drama series justice with Emmy Award winning tracks such as The Mountain and the Viper. 

Nashville-Soundtrack-Season-2-Volume-1

Nashville

As a series revolving around the US country music scene, it comes as no surprise that Nashville boasts a pretty impressive soundtrack. It can be a risky business asking actors to lend their vocals to a show but it turns out that Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton can really belt out a tune! Not to mention their talented co-stars Clare Bowen and Charles Esten. Hundreds of original recordings were produced for the show, with a cherry picked selection making it onto the soundtrack and even winning places in the official US country music charts.

Girls

Sassy and scandalous, Girls was one of the hottest TV shows to hit screens in 2012. And Lena Dunham’s handpicked selection of tunes was the icing on the cake. Featuring artists such as Robyn, Oasis, Fleet Foxes and Santigold, the compilations are a fantastic mix of classic rock, on-trend indie and upbeat pop.

The Wire - And All The Pieces Matter (2008)

The Wire

After five seasons on air, fans of the ‘greatest TV drama of all time’ were crying out for an official soundtrack. Warner delivered with a 35 track deluxe album titled, ‘The Wire… And All The Pieces Matter.’ Covering five years of music as well as clips of some of the show’s most famous quotes, this compilation is a must-have for any fan of the acclaimed crime drama series.

Flight of the Conchords

Against all odds, quirky New Zealanders Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement managed to simultaneously break into the comedy, music and TV scenes. The result was a hit HBO TV series which quickly developed a cult following. Featuring hit songs such as Bowie, Robots and The Prince of Parties, the debut Flight of the Conchords is charming, funny and inherently clever. With HBO confirming a four episode encore, fans can expect a handful of new songs and an abundance of guaranteed laughs.

Next time you’re watching your favourite TV series, take a minute to think about what music is accompanying the scenes and whether or not the episode would be anywhere near as engaging without it!

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST NIGGLE?

35-pissed-off-woman-main

British lingerie brand Triumph have already solved one of women’s biggest niggles with their newest innovation Magic Wire, or as we like to call it “the unicorn bra“.  Now they’ve made it their mission to find out what the nation’s biggest niggles are, with bad manners and telemarketing calls topping the list; the biggest question is, what bra will solve these problems?

·         People with bad manners and telemarketing calls named the nation’s biggest daily niggle

·         Bras digging, missing the train or bus and not having enough time are top niggles for women in the UK everyday

·         30% of women make a cup of tea or count to 10 to calm down

·         The average woman is niggled six times a day

Bras digging in, men leaving the toilet seat up and not being able to find things in your handbag are among the top annoying ‘niggles’ that women face on a daily basis.

A survey of 2,000 women revealed that on average females experience at least six annoying niggles on a daily basis, including manners (45%), toilet etiquette (31%), ill-fitting lingerie (38%), bad traffic and travel delays (31%) all filling the top 10 of life’s daily annoyances.

The research, for Triumph lingerie, also showed that more than half (59%) of women actively seek help to overcome their daily niggles, with talking to a friend the most popular thing to do (41%). Others resort to visiting online forums for advice (16%), reading features or problem pages in magazines (12%) and self-help books (6%).

The research marks the launch of Triumph’s new innovative Magic Wire bra which offers a solution to the digging in feeling often associated with uncomfortable underwired bras.

“It’s no surprise a bra digging in comes up as one of women’s top niggles. Having spoken to women all over the world about their key hopes of their lingerie, we wanted to tackle various recurring issues head on, and create our most comfortable and supportive bra yet. “

“As this research shows, women want solutions to the niggles they face on a daily basis and our new Magic Wire silicone technology does just that – where the innovation centres around a little piece of silicone in place of a wire providing a great fit and uplift.”

Triumph has also launched a new #Nigglefix campaign, a platform to enable women to share those things that frustrate them on a day-to-day basis and share any top tips on combatting them. The campaign focuses on empowering women to come together and collectively help each other find fixes for their niggles.
