I think the same too!

Found this article about an iPod ad two days back from Fashion Minute. But really it was from David Byrne's journal (ooooooooo....I'm wicked and I'm lazeeee...oooooooooo.....don't you wanna save me)

This is exactly where the advertising team behind iPod have really struck gold - the campaign hits three of the major pillars of street cred - fashion, music, and art. In adapting an original Brooklyn artist's image to a more contemporary silhouette (tighter fitting shoulders in the jacket, shorter jacket length, studded belt), we find a current menswear style message in the ad too... et voila! You have a marketing campaign guaranteed to do exactly what it was meant to - entice the youngsters with what's cool in fashion and in music. A perfect marriage in lifestyle - brought together inconspicuously, by art.


I think that sentiment I share with the author(s) of Fashion Minute. The fearsome threesome of fashion, music and art. Previously I was talking about them three in another post (wabi sabi).

So how should we get these three individuals, Fashion+Art+Music, with great propensity to merge to come together in a single entity without having any one of them outshine the other? A ménage à trois that does not degenerate into a skin flick.


And we both seem to like the same particular picture of a certain Miss Johansson and how a certain Mr Allen seems to be making weird comments about her.
