Is It The Camera?

· Comment

Well, is it? A cou­ple of months old in terms of the video/documentary in this post, but its still rel­e­vant. Prob­a­bly as rel­e­vant years ago when there were a lot of cam­eras to pick from. Any­ways… Lee Mor­ris of Fstoppers.com shoots a full fash­ion pho­tog­ra­phy ses­sion with the iPhone 3Gs.

Here’s the video.

We’re look­ing for some­one to design a logo that cap­tures the essence of oki-ni.com in any way, shape or form. We need a graph­ic image (which can be absolute­ly any­thing) and a logo which reads oki-ni.com.

All entries should be sub­mit­ted by mid­night on Sun­day 17th May, 2009 Please for­ward all entrants to charlotte@oki-ni.com or post to:

Christian Peau Washed Leather Sneaker Boots

· Comment

Sexy.

Chris­t­ian Peau is a Japan­ese fash­ion house whose design is under­stood to bridge the gap between mod­ern avant-garde and clas­si­cal arti­san-based fash­ion. Unlike many cut­ting edge Japan­ese design­ers that have emerged from the last 10 years, Peau’s is much more Euro­pean in nature. His influ­ences lie in the tra­di­tionl arti­sans from the ear­ly 1800s who were under­stood to be mas­ters in their trade. Drawn from tra­di­tion­al shoe­mak­ing and leather mas­ter craftsmen,Christian Peau has rein­vent­ed the avant-garde in a mod­ern and beau­ti­ful man­ner.

The empha­sis is on hand­made leather garments—each shoe is made by hand in Japan with an assort­ment of hand-stained, paint­ed and washed leathers that are com­pound­ed and nailed togeth­er for a tru­ly unique out­come.
