A few weeks ago we brought you early details about New York-based artist Ryan McGinley's new show Animals which is now open at Team Gallery. The exhibition presents color portraits of live animals and nude models, with McGinley visiting sanctuaries, zoos, and rescue establishments across the United States. The artist set up mobile studios and enlisted the help of various pre-eminent animal trainers to ensure the animals were not treated as props but as the crucial subjects of the photographs.

With their roots pegged in innovation its easy to forget there is a simplistic past to Nike's running heritage. The Night Track is a symbol of the brands history and influence in running. We live our lives at 100 miles an hour now, always hustling, but we need to get that run in, we need to 'Make it Count'. For a lot of us the only way to do this is late in the evening.

Moving Picture Show which is part of the International Poster and Graphic Design Festival, "re-appropriates a process normally used by the film industry to etch subtitles into the emulsion layer of 35mm film using a high-powered precision laser. By etching away the emulsion, only the clear base of the film remains.

Going beyond the conventions of typical fashion, Dana Lee has a unique vision for "authentic beauty" that she has built her label on and thrived from in recent years. Lee's journey began in Vancouver and has seen her cut samples and work on Christmas Day and internships in London and Helsinki, but these are all valuable lessons that all paid off for the now New York based designer. So often in the past menswear has complimented womenswear but that is not how Lee sees it, one of a new generation of women menswear designers changing the way us men dress.
