Modern Home + Living

MH+L Feature on the beautiful Hotel Maya on Long Beach California.

The agency travels a fair bit to the States due to our commitments there. We would like to throw the spotlight on some of the outstanding work done by our friends and partners from the home of the brave. Modern Home + Living Magazine is the brainchild of a group of Angelenos including my best friend and photog extraordinaire Kevin Ou. It is best described as the quintessential Hollywood publication that provides exclusive insights to the private spaces of celebrities and personalities.

The Magazine has recently got into print and is distributed nationally in the US. Additionally, the team has also acquired an impeccably-designed 4,000 square foot penthouse suite right in downtown LA. This penthouse has been outfitted by the magazine's luxury partners with the latest in design furnishings, high-tech elements and eco-friendly fittings. Diecast is very much looking forward to using this space for premier launch parties and VIP events.

Into the Rabbit Hole

Diecast Agency was asked to design a concept event for Bowie’s A/W10 Paranormal Romance Collection. We chose to stage this show at the White Rabbit Gallery for its aura, beauty and ready made runway. Bravo to the Gallery’s visionary owners and their foresight.

After the gallery got the diecast treatment, we let the free flowing drinks, the density of good company and a few Lomo Mini Diana cameras floating around the hall work their magic.

“Into the rabbit hole and through the plastic lens.” Front row guests got playful with the Diana Mini. Lo-fi photography is making a big comeback especially among the international fashion set.

Three Over One

I was at the B2 Studio in Alexandria to oversee men's label ThreeOverOne shoot their S/S10 collection. Above is a first peek. Taking inspirations from Irvine Penn, Jim amassed a number of talents from different backgrounds and professions to take part in the shoot. Notably, not a single professional model was used. The finished lookbook will reflect the label's rugged elegance reminiscent of the 40s and 50s.

Dance Twiggy, Dance!


Old footage of Twiggy doing something else other than modelling. Was she chanelling Edie Sedgewick?
