Love, Thyne.’s Post

For four years, until 2021 (after I was busy moving countries, war, and adapting to a new reality and society), I researched the intersection of arts and brand collaborations through CHI Media. During this time, I led a team of writers, publishing articles three times a week. We produced hundreds of pieces, all centered on one topic: Companies Working with Art. These collaborations ranged from marketing strategies to team development initiatives, or as foundations. Living in China during this period offered me a unique perspective on the so-called commercialization of art. I had the opportunity to witness firsthand the grandeur of branded art shows by Gucci and Dior, as well as studios developing art concepts for companies like Nike and Adidas. Shopping malls transformed into modern gallery spaces, showcasing some of the best contemporary art collections. Most fascinating, however, was seeing the one brand I believe truly mastered the integration of contemporary art: Gentle Monster. While many brands leaned on predictable strategies, such as creating classic exhibitions or incorporating art IP into clothing designs, Gentle Monster took a completely different approach. They embraced the storytelling, weirdness, and experimental spirit of contemporary art, weaving it into their brand experience. I firmly believe that the potential for art in brand collaborations remains largely untapped. Not every brand needs to emulate Gentle Monster, but there is so much room to explore contemporary art’s richness—its narratives, its daring weirdness, and its experimental edge—in more creative and meaningful ways. #artandbrands #artcolaboration #culturestrategy

Proof that a fashion and art collaboration can be done right featuring the art as a source of inspiration not only in a visual and aesthetic way but also by translating the underlying content and ambiances 👏 Galvan London Anna-Christin Haas “For our first encounter with the world of fashion, we delved into the intersection of art and fashion, inspired by Oldboy's fundamental question: What does our relationship with the reflection, or more specifically, with the nature of self recognition in the mirror tell us about our self perception? What defines our temporal existence? This contemplation explores fashion as a medium of continual evolution and redefinition of our fluid identities - a journey that is both intricate and personal, often exclusive but also participatory, in signaling alikeness among a group. It stands out not only as a powerful tool of communication but also as a channel for artistic experimentation, reflecting our ever-transforming selves in a process that has never been more multifaceted and complex than in our current realities.” – Hedda Roman   Having been inspired by art and architectural sceneries with a more clean and pure design aesthetic throughout the last decade, Anna Christin Haas was taken here very of the moment during a spontaneous gallery visit at Sies&Höke being confronted with an Avatar called “the Oldboy” hitting her with the feeling of the unknown and a somnambulistically state. The collection was developed in close exchange between Anna-Christin Haas and the artist duo, Hedda Roman. A timely exploration of the human need for constant transformation through self-reflection, and the growing ambivalence regarding what it means to be human in the context of future technologies. Anna-Christin Haas notes: “The work of Hedda Roman can be diffusing and ambiguous – it is questioning the human kind. It matched with a feeling of insecurity I had inside of me, which we all have inside of us in times of global uncertainty. But I also saw hope in what new technologies could do for us”. Congratulations to this uncommonly multilayered collaboration bringing together various creative worlds, the fabulous show during Paris fashion week and the outstanding Autumn Winter 24 collection.

The announcement of "Vogue: Inventing the Runway" at London's Lightroom this autumn marks a watershed moment in fashion history. From intimate Parisian salons to today's multimedia spectaculars, runway shows have evolved from trade events into defining cultural ceremonies of our time. What fascinates me most about this exhibition is its recognition that fashion shows are no longer just about the clothes – they're about storytelling, identity and cultural commentary. When Christian Louboutin dove into Piscine Molitor for Paris Fashion Week, or when Iris van Herpen pushes the boundaries of technology in her shows, they're creating cultural statements that transcend fashion itself. The democratisation of these previously exclusive events through Lightroom's immersive technology is particularly exciting. By making these experiences accessible to the public, Vogue isn't just preserving fashion history – it's rewriting how we engage with it. As someone who has kept an eye on the industry’s evolution, through my own interest and of course as a brand partner, I'm intrigued by what this means for the future of fashion presentation. As we embrace virtual fashion weeks and Metaverse showrooms, understanding the historical significance of physical runway shows becomes increasingly vital.

In line with the Communication Strategy devised for one of our THINK PIG | Factory's Clients, we tasked the #Authors within our #Community with crafting an ambitious #Script. The goal was to echo and idolize the original message of a #Film's #Plot created by one of the leading and most celebrated Authors, #Screenwriters, #Directors, and #Humorists of contemporary times to promote the second edition of the CHILDREN'S SHOW. We aimed to relate this message to the present days, envisioning a child and contemporary Woody Allen inadvertently finding inspiration to create one of his most renowned films, all the while unaware that one day he would evolve into the Woody we recognize today. But there's more to the Story. We dared to speculate that perhaps our Woody, through his film set in #Manhattan, even served as inspiration for Gary Ross, providing the spark for him to create #Pleasantville. Who knows for sure...? Why did we embark on this endeavor? Simply put, while it becomes increasingly challenging to uncover #original and high-quality ideas—especially when the great Directors of #Cinema seem to have covered every conceivable angle—our audience, particularly the demographic targeted by this commercial #short film, still yearns for fresh content while maintaining a connection to #stories of the past. With this anecdote, we hope to embolden all the Authors within our Community to take risks. There are no boundaries to imagination. Therefore, after viewing this commercial short film and, most importantly, after offering constructive feedback, we encourage you to pick up your pen and start #writing or #proposing a New Story to the Community, whatever it may be. ☞ The SCRIPT BOARD is at your disposal to share any idea you wish to #pitch. ☞ Our role is to bring your Story to life on the screen, no matter which screen that may be... 📽 Watch Short-Movie: https://lnkd.in/dK_HuacQ ➕ JOIN Community: https://www.thinkpig.it/ ENJOY COMMUNITY 🐖

Where is CELINE in 2024? 🤔 The world of fashion never stands still, and neither do its creative leaders. With Hedi Slimane stepping down as Creative Director of CELINE, we witness the end of an era defined by his sharp, rock-inspired vision. Slimane's impact on Celine brought a youthful, rebellious edge to the brand, reshaping its identity in ways we hadn’t anticipated. Now, with Michael Rider—the former Creative Director of Ralph Lauren —stepping into this role, the landscape looks intriguing. Ralph Lauren has long been synonymous with timeless elegance and classic American style, a contrast to the edgy minimalism that Slimane championed. This shift invites an interesting question: how will Rider’s experience with Ralph Lauren’s heritage influence the future of Celine? Both brands have distinct visual identities—one grounded in sleek modernism, the other in traditional refinement. The intersection of these two worlds could lead to a fascinating evolution at Celine, blending Slimane's rebellious energy with Rider’s sophisticated touch. As fashion continues to evolve, it’s thrilling to see how these leadership changes spark new creative directions, not just for the logos, but for the soul of the brand itself. 🌟✨ #FashionLeadership #Celine #RalphLauren #CreativeDirectors #HediSlimane #MichaelRider #LuxuryFashion #DesignEvolution #Innovation #BrandIdentity#Graphic Design#Branding

In a world where sleek minimalism reigns supreme, brands are shedding their iconic identities faster than you can say Helvetica. It's as if they've all collectively decided that logos with any character, flair, or soul belong in a museum next to rotary phones and cassette players. Take Jaguar, for example. Once a roaring symbol of agility and power, they've decided to declaw their emblem in favor of... a stretched-out typeface that screams 'I live in a co-working space.' And Yves Saint Laurent? Oh sorry, I mean Saint Laurent. Because apparently, we were wasting too much breath on the 'Yves,' and less is definitely more... confusing. Then there's Balenciaga, whose rebrand basically says, 'Why look luxurious when you can look like an indie tech startup?' Burberry, bless their hearts, has ditched the distinguished London flair for a blunt 'BURBERRY LONDON ENGLAND,' as if we were at risk of forgetting where trench coats come from. And don't get me started on Berluti and Balmain. Their transition to all-caps and sans-serif fonts feels like they’re shouting at us from a poorly-designed PowerPoint slide: 'WE'RE STILL LUXURY! PROMISE!' It’s all very avant-garde, or so we’re told. But let’s be real—this wave of brand 'modernization' is starting to feel less like a chic reinvention and more like a memo from the Department of Blandness. A revolution in mediocrity, if you will. But hey, at least they're saving ink, right? #BrandingGoneBland #MinimalismOverload #LogoGlowDown #WhereIsTheCharacter #HelveticaTakeover #LuxuryBrandsOrTechStartups #FromIconicToIronic #ModernizationMadness #DesignTrends2024 #CorporateBlandness #RebrandOrRegret #IdentityCrisis #LuxurySansSoul
