The notorious  Ellis G. grafitti’ed in my neighborhood last night! I almost peed myself with excitement. 

Art for Spring, who knew. How HOT are these????

It was a FUCKING awesome show, super inspirational and visually stimulating. Go!

Spotted this in a fellow agency and loved it!

We had way too much fun. Love, A&C

An inspiring evening full of great creative direction and art! A&C looks forward to stomping on the competition next year. 

The campaign’s already been shot by Nick Knight - and Kate plays a bride who changes her mind at the last minute.The six-image shoot goes public next month, and we’ll all admire Kate in her knickers for the full year after!

Once again I teamed up with Garet Field Sells to shoot Pilar (Supreme) and Nick Steele (Q).  I pulled my favorite pieces from the SILENCE IS GOLDEN LINE from Australia.  Thanks to Susan Donoghue for make up and Crews for hair.  One of my favorite shoots so far! 

This weekend i had the pleasure of being invited back to FIT to help host a seminar with Judd Pilossof on ALL ASPECTS OF styling in our business. The students and the panel spoke on things like; your legacy and doing it right the first time out, the importance of advances, receipt reconciliations, pockets of access in the business, and mostly about the importance of collaboration and making sure your are not the weakest link … It was great to meet Judd, see Emmanuel Faure (another great asset in the photo biz and fellow member of APA) and the other panelists and when I left I felt for one of the first times ever in my life that I had truly said something that hit home to these newbies … here is a sample of what they created on their last day of class - in preparation for their experience out in the world …Kudos kids!  You did it!  Now call me so we can work out your internships!!!

 Much love.Joe

I have some friends with a booth and was thinking about going to see them in my bear suit with the hole in the v-j.

One would think when you’ve got the best of the best… You’d see something that would knock your panties right off!We’re talking about the top models of the industry and the top emerging fashion designers. What could go wrong?I MEAN REALLY GAP, REALLY? Is this the best you could do?Not impressive and really so painful I’ve been thinking about the campaign for the last 24 hours.Trying to grasp at something I must like, I’ve always been a sucker for black/white - but even that didn’t hit me here.

Gap joining many others such as Target, H&M and Kohls to follow the Designer’s collection Edition is a great idea. Although I never thought of Gap being in the same market place as the others, I would’ve thought if they placed themselves there they’d come out with something CREATIVE. This campaign could’ve made the basic retailer look edgier, funky or just fun for starters. Instead Gap took a great opportunity and idea and made it, in my opinion SHIT! Don’t get me wrong I love the idea of turning the basic white blouse (in fact I’m wearing the basic today) into a modern: tie neck, bell sleeves, epaulets and my favorite the extra- long minidress. In fact I’ve purchased pieces from Vera Wang’s line at Kohl’s and shopped Target’s Go International brand - but this just plain old disgusts me from a visual stand point. You won’t catch me running to Gap any time soon to spend !
