In The Raw

One of the guys here is a real raw denim enthusiast.  I can't say I have the patience it takes to wear in jeans the way he does.  Dude's passion for the craft and the amazing results he gets have gotten us all a little more excited about what denim does in our lives.  Rock on, man!

Check out this awesome vid. showing Momotaro's process- the attention to detail is consciousness altering.

Have a great week folks,

Noe Two's art transcends barriers of language, culture and place.  Check out this vid on his trip to Thailand.  Watch how he connects through cans of spray paint + you'll never see graffiti the same way again.

Shout out to our buddy who's overseas chasing his dream.  M.'s makin' it happen, yo!  We miss ya, man- keep on keeping' on!

Feeling Human Again...

We're back from Austin, and only beginning to feel human again.  

There is just so much creative energy floating around at SXSW- saying no to an event because of dawning exhaustion is impossible.  

Our heart felt thanks go out to all the folks who made our experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.  No doubt you can still find places that know how to roll out the old fashioned southern hospitality.

We love seeing other artists grow and stretch themselves.  Phantogram didn't disappoint.  The New Yorkers have upped their game with their new release Voices, adding more vocals into their already heady dance floor vibe- a sure win.

Check 'em out if you haven't already.

Nissan's New Sound is M.I.A.

Nissan, like many other similarly positioned companies, has begun to dip into "World Sound" music to keep current and sell to a youth market.  

Most recently used is the cut "Y.A.L.A" from the M.I A. album Matangi.  The song features distinctly Brazillian roots, continuing the thought from the group's previous release Arular.  The title plays on the overused Y.O.L.O- artistically re-imagining it as "You Always Live Again"….Y.A.L.A.

Interestingly, the song was commissioned by fashion line Kenzo along with i-D, the British fashion mag- which may explain its more commercial vibe.  Destined to be fashion forward from the start, David Sannwald's video focuses solely on the rapper's face as it cycles through a pop-art fun house of color and flashing lights.

Is designer music destined to take the same route as designer fragrances?  Who's to know.  One thing's clear- M.I.A.'s new cut is a lot of fun to drive to!

So Much Better Than Fantasy Football

Our post on Steven Tyler and Aerosmith was hella popular, thanks for the love Guys! 

We're all a bunch of photographers here at the SAVAGE Photo Studio… none of us even know how to play a guitar… but we love music + got mad respect for the folks who make it...

And, because we need more things to argue about, we've invented our own version of "Fantasy Football"… It goes a little something' like this...

If you could magically join any band, from any decade as an extra member… Which group would you choose?  Obviously the arguments… er…fun starts when you have to explain why.

So, Guys, give it a try with your friends + let us know who makes the cut...

Be nice to each other, SAVAGE

Enjoy the week, folks

Coco Sumner brings her talent to more than just our ears with her modeling campaign.  Burberrys, Love Mag and Urban Outfitters have been some of the first to capture her trademark cool.   

Savage loves working with musicians, they always bring it day of shoot.  Artistic souls always create powerful images.

Sting's Daught. Mini-Rock Sesh in a Black Cab

Fresh faced Coco Sumner performs "Self Machine" for Black Cab Sessions.  Her haunting voice makes us sad that we have to wait more than a week for the next summer festival.  

Her beats have some calling "reggae-pop"… not sure we agree...

Either way, check out the rest of her stuff + tell us what you think.

Burberry Set to Lose Ownership of it's Trademark Plaid

Burberry's handeling, or lack there of, of repeated trademark infringement by firms in China may have put the British Luxury brand in very real danger of losing it's trademark plaid.  The house has appealed a ruling by Chinese courts that would allow other fashion businesses to create goods with the famous red, tan, black and white.  While Burberry has bought themselves some time on the issue, it sounds as if there will be a decision soon.

Politics aside, this new development has fashionistas wondering if the Chinese government is legislating a new vibe/ style inspiration for an older brand.

Stay real,
