During Copenhagen Fashion Week ‘The World’s Greatest Catwalk’ will take place on the pedestrian street in the centre of Copenhagen, Strøget. The street will be transformed into one long runway where 220 models will walk 1 mile (1.609 km) and beat the world record for the longest catwalk ever.
We will of cause be there since the catwalk runs right along our office. It’s this Saturday 14th of August at 15.00.
After noticing Marco Brambilla’s “Civilization” video installation in the elevators at The Standard New York Hotel in 2009, Kanye not only wrote about it on his blog, he commissioned the experimental filmmaker to collaborate on the video for “Power,” his new single. The result is this video collage extreme!. The whole thing is in fact inspired by Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel, the piece depicts a faux historical moment – an empire on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption. All the little layered collage pieces move in extreme slow motion forming an abstract and visually rich environment.
