Loved creating this book/film/exhibition series for Gore-Tex with (lots of people but mainly) two people whose work I’ve long admired: Stephen Mann and Jörg Haas. It all launched during Paris Fashion Week and was such a great final project to see out 2018.
Great to work on the all-new adidas Y-3 website with the Being Hunted folk, which you can take a look here.
(Yohji Yamamoto is an enduring idol of mine so this was a particularly nice thing to be involved with to such an extent)
A few weeks ago I hosted a panel on behalf of &tradition and Freunde von Freunden at the latter’s beautiful Friends Space in Kreuzberg, Berlin. I was joined by designer Maria Jeglinska and architect Sigurd Larsen for a look into how to make the place you live really feel like a ‘home’, as the outside world becomes increasingly hostile.
Was great to work on this campaign for Rolls-Royce, announcing a major shift in their business, which will (hopefully) help change the way the world is powered for the next 100 years or so…

It was a pleasure to help Leisure Center – an ambitious new retail concept based in Vancouver – express their ambitions and values in words, in advance of their launch towards the end of last year. Really excited to see how far these guys manage to push things, knowing the talent involved.
(A pleasure too to work with some familiar faces from my LN-CC days!)
Was great to work with Being Hunted on the amazing exhibition and panel discussion they put together for Gore-Tex at this year’s Milan design fair. Hopefully the start of an enduring relationship with a creative force in Berlin that I’ve long-admired.
I’ve only ever bought one pair of sunglasses and it was a pair of Blyszak ones – crafted from metal and sustainable buffalo horn into a silhouette that’s strikingly different from all those ray-ban/moscot-alikes that more sensible gentlemen than myself wear with their oxford shirts and Japanese denim.
It was a pleasure then to be asked to come up with some new words that really capture the essence of what makes the brand so special.
You can find the new ‘manifesto’ and tagline on the Blyszak website and, increasingly, at point of sales in some of the world’s most exciting stores.
