SMILE & JOKE TEES!

Smile & Joke was established in 2011 by three Paris-born brothers with one goal in mind: off-the-wall urbane T-shirts for men and women. They used retro Americana as much as up-to-the-minute cultural milestones to inspire this first line,and teamed up with young photographers to produce it. Smile & Joke only use 100% organic cotton from India (which cuts carbon-dioxide emissions by 90%), design them in Paris and print them in France.

The full collection is available on the official website smileandjoke.com.

VERSACE AUTUMN/WINTER 2012 CAMPAIGN


The Versace Autumn Winter 2012 ad campaign is loose and the darkness of it all has me spiraling! Shot by impeccable duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, with art direction from Giovanni Bianco, and styling from Joe McKenna and David Bradshaw. The campaign features models Elza Luijendijk, Philipp Schmidt, Dmitriy Tanner & Kaccey Carrig on location in London in what looks like a dark and dingy warehouse! Why is it that I want everything the guys are wearing?! I won’t say no to that low back dress either!!!

Dontella Versace – “I’m really thrilled with our new campaign. The result is bold, strong, iconic and perfectly conveys the sexy rock vibe of our Fall/Winter collection”
