Synchrodogs Interview

Tania Shcheglova and Roman Noven

Ukrainian photographic duo Synchrodogs aka. Tania Shcheglova and Roman Noven, create incredibly haunting, mischievous and ultimately beautiful imagery. I spoke with the pair about their current exhibition Across the Great Divide in LA, their first book and what it means to be a creative in the Ukraine. 

 

Megan Christiansen: Can you tell us a little bit about your background, you initially didn't start out as a photographic duo did you?

Tetsu Nishiyama Interview

Guerrilla The Incubation Period

Since first interviewing Tet from WTAPS back in 2009 I got a great insight into a label which has played a pivotal role in Ura-Harajuku for more than a decade. Continuing to influence on many levels, Tet has seen WTAPS evolve and grow with great distinction while remaining on the level in which it was founded on. Recently Tet opened G.I.P. Store in Shibuya, a bold move away from the iconic Blackflag select store in Aoyama, but one that has since reaped the rewards with a compelling concept in place and one that represents WTAPS with a strong direction.

Adam Kimmel Fall 2012 / Matthew Stone Interview

22/01/2012

His second season on the Parisian runways there was a definite feeling that Adam Kimmel was hitting his stride as he unveiled his alien infused AW12 collection yesterday evening. After his SS11 surf-inspired show, he stepped things up a notch in the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts; after a day in the bleachers the menswear massive entered Adam's own personal quarantine, complete with a Nevadan sand catwalk and a rather magical Star Trek portal.

Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012 showing at Paris Fashion Week was dark, very dark. High waisted pants were teamed with everything from impeccably fitted knits, slim singlets and shirts. An intriguing mix of fabrications and finishings, along with beautiful asymmetrically fastened suiting and heavy volume in coats.
