Brighton’s Ink_d Gallery & Studio has announced Stanley Donwood’s forthcoming show will open 20th March – 10th April 2009. The exhibition ‘Printed Papers’ will show a selection of Donwood’s best known limited edition prints from his artwork for Radiohead and Thom Yorke album covers to his more recent ‘London Views’ series of work.
Although Stanley Donwood is best known for his artwork for Radiohead, he also writes books, is a CEO of a record company and is an accomplished printmaker who prints all his own work. In February 2009 he won a Grammy for ‘Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package’ for his art direction on Radiohead’s ‘In Rainbows’ album.

Talking of the sunshine…Every season there is one stand-out model of crazy sunglasses that make the rounds. Jeremy Scott is usually good for a surprise on that end, but was reasonably subtle this season. Instead its left to Dior Homme to present the “Blow” sunglasses. They come in 5 colorways, with each colorway ultra limited to only 500 pieces worldwide.

From the looks of the image and “message” you could assume that this is a piece of new art – maybe stencil white on black canvas. The truth is that it is a simple but beautiful beach towel from Raf Simons with a very open ended message: “there is a crack in everything that’s how the light gets in”. It’s part of the Raf Simon’s Spring/Summer 2009 Accessories collection and now that spring has officially arrived in London its time to start thinking about all things summery.

I love Supreme and its goes with out saying that each new season I eagerly await the tee collaborations and somehow Supreme always manages to surprise me. In recent years we’ve seen downtown New York plastered in Kermit posters and Mike Tyson, this season Lou Reed is part of the Supreme Spring/Summer 2009 campaign. In a fantastic collaboration with London’s Hideout, the entire store frontage has been plastered with Supreme/Lou Reed posters and looks genius.

An exhibition of 175 works by Edward Steichen drawn largely from the Condé Nast archives, this is the first presentation to give serious consideration to the full range of Steichen’s fashion images.
Steichen’s approach to fashion photography was formative and over the course of his career he changed public perceptions of the American woman. An architect of American Modernism and a Pictorialist, Steichen exhibited his fashion images alongside his art photographs. Steichen’s crisp, detailed, high-key style revolutionized fashion photography, and his influence is felt in the field to this day—Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Bruce Weber are among his stylistic successors.

This exhibition runs until the 3rd of May, 2009
