Intak Song Creates Photo Magic in the Space Between Reality and Imagination

Seoul-based fashion photographer Intak Song shoots with purpose. Every shot is planned with consideration to directionality, light, composition. Where you think it may be constraining, Song’s work expresses a unique freedom that never feels far from reality. And that, again, is intentional. Song isn’t focused on perfecting a signature style, but allowing viewers to look at the world around them with a special touch of imagination, a small dose of playfulness that anyone can tap into. Read more from our discussion on photography and what Song created for DELSEY Paris for our New Horizons World Tour collaboration.

George Kroustallis Explores the Juxtaposition of our Past and Future with Utopia: Sisters

The latest project from photographer and creative director George Kroustallis of Minorstep is Utopia: Sisters, an exhibition of style, photography, artistry, and nature. Showcasing the idea of architecture and fashion as sisters, models Tasha Malek and Smilla Herbst are reflections of one another in opposing colors and styles from designers like Totême, LVIR, The Row, Aeyde, Maison Margiela, and Alexander McQueen. Aside from their sartorial imagery, the models stand in one of two environments—a green and rocky lake or against the backdrop of an angular, architectural structure.
