Acne Paper, Acne Bikes, Acne Pants . . .

_The sight of hot semi-naked bodies bouncing up and down is always going to draw some attention, so it's not surprising that Swedish denim brand turned-cool-all-round fashion label brand Acne, have enlisted film artist Richard Brandon Cox to document just such sexy shenanigans for their underwear range. The video (Above) features a nubile young model breezing perpendicularly across the screen.

Inspiration for the collection of vests, trunks, boxers and briefs in the finest Supima cotton comes from the Bandanna Prints and Tie Die of Urban Cowboys, and from the tonal checks and spots of Louise Bourgeois's textile work.

In addition to pants you can now get your very own Acne bicycle, designed with the aid of Bianchi, the Italian brand who have been producing racing bikes since 1855. The classic racing bike is based on the Pista model and comes in three exclusive colours – yellow, orange and pink, complete with Acne emblazoned on the seat.

_Legendary Vogue Editorial

_The year was 1992. Kate Moss, Corrine Day, Juergen Teller, David Sims are all on their way up and are creating a new style of fashion out of London via The Face and ID. How will the gatekeepers of cool in NY react? For Marc Jacobs, the style of American bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana was like a gift from heaven, because with the music, came a very specific look. Marc takes the flannel and the thermals, the vintage dresses worn with combat boots and turns it into a deluxe collection in silk and cashmere with the prices to match. Steven Meisel takes the super-glamorous supermodels Nadja and Naomi and Kirsten and strips them of all the usual make-up for a very dressed down look. The Old Guard in fashion nearly lose their minds but the kids love it. It is one of the boldest statements ever seen in a mainstream magazine and that's why we rank it right up there as one of the amazing and legendary editorials ever.

_Harley Wier

_Such an amazing young photographer - Still a second year Fine Art student at Central Saint Martins. But with editorial spreads already in Vice and i-D, and muse / boyfriend George Barnett (Face of Lanvin, one time Hedi Slimane Muse and drummer in London post punk band 'These New puritans') this girls going far.

_Could this guy be any cooler if he tried? - Such an legend. I love this shot of him because its just so natural, you can see how actually beautiful he is, rather than (as with his usual press shots) the overly retouched image this shows the mans genuine beauty and amazing style.

_'New'

_Interview magazine now have a 'newly launched' website - in actual fact its just the 'new' / relaunched logo placed onto the old website design, But some how it makes everything look really fresh. Maybe its just because of love this logo so much more than the 'dracula inspired' Baron re-design. oh, also check out their 'calendar' feature - its quite simply glorious.

But non the less was completely switched on and totally pulled the shoot out of the bag - stay tuned for shots from the days shoot.
