GQ POOL PARTY

It was a little chilly last night at the Table Bay pool but you wouldn't say so looking at the pictures. Models braved the water while industry folk enjoyed drinks and music poolside. This party officially kicks off the summer party season and with the heat the way it has been I imagine we're in for a good one. Many thanks to GQ.

Grand Prix art posters by PJ TIERNEY

Recently I had the pleasure of exchanging some emails with the talented designer and artist PJ Tierney. For those that may not know, PJ Tierney is a graphic designer and artist based in Ireland who created a series of Grand Prix posters based on the 2011 Formula 1 Calendar. His other work is equally impressive, but he received a great deal of attention for his impressive Formula 1 posters. I have admired his work for some time and was delighted to speak with him about his work and was honored to hear some kind words he had to offer about my own work. He has recently re-released his Posters in a clean, minimalist look. Take a minute to look at his work on his website.

DAVID WEST SUMMER 11 COLLECTION

David West held a media launch of his new Summer capsule collection on Friday. For our sometimes un-kind climate West delivers a sweet relief of soft linen and cotton pieces. There is a distinct ethnic colour palette nod which works for summer and winter.

In addition to colour blocking we see ethnic prints mixed in with short shorts, a nautical inspired stripe and transparent short length linen shirts. West plastered his latest look book not only on the walls but on screen too with a muted interview installation piece by Kope and Figgins.
