L.A’S CALLING!

Okay, so…The London’s Calling Project is done and dusted-it was indeed super fabulous! However, in the mean time we are just waiting for a few touches here and there to make the result of the final image.
To coincide with the London’s Calling project our team have decided to take it on global tour, next stop: L.A yes, that’s right- California baby!! Partaking some of Hollywood’s most glamorous and hottest people; with the intention to dabble into their glitzy lifestyle we hope it will raise a few heads and get people reminiscing about the good old ‘Boogie Nights’ .
We’re thinking: palm trees, ice- cream, milkshake, candy floss, limos and roller skates with a sort-muted colour palette- bubblegum blues and candy pinks!! Let’s take a step back in time and get this project rolling- HOLLYWOOD HERE WE COME!!
Keep an eye for more updates!

LONDON’S CALLING!

“London’s Calling is an offshoot project that acts as both a fantastic opportunity for a handful of the British capital’s creative’s to be showcased, and a demonstration of the website’s own potential”, says Raoul Keil- founder of NINETEEN74.COM.

Great news: NINETEEN74 are happy to announce their near completion of their very first project- ‘London’s calling’ [how exciting]. It was essentially a photo shoot, which took place in London [hence the name]. The entire project/ collaboration were set-up by users on the website, obviously! From designers, stylists, models to photographers and make-up artists; it was truly a magnificent trip! Get the full story from Chewed Magazine.
Uh oh, a new force of creative energy erupted into the occurrence- otherwise known as FACTORY311. This international agency has already managed to exert a pull on the coolest stars within the music and fashion industry. Kate Perry and the likes of Warner Bros is just a taster of the factory’s existence. You’re probably wondering: “what do 311 have to do with 74’s projects?” Nicolas Hardy- the director of the factory and the co-organiser of London’s Calling. He’s one of the ‘magicians’ who is responsible for creating cool concepts and inspiring images for the site and other publications. Here’s a brief intro to some of the people who got involved with the project...
Tired and bored from the glitzy lifestyle of Hollywood, meet Fabrice Lachant; a photographer who studied film and worked with some of the best producers in L.A. He soon decided to take his life in a different direction- he set up new boundaries with photography in the ‘Big Smoke’. Dipping into documentary and playing with art photography Lachant believes the London's Calling project will have great exposure!
Celine, Givenchy, L’Oreal and Louis Vuitton are just a handful of Steven Canavan’s clients. Fascinated by beauty and all things related to fashion Steven has been working as a make-up artist for the past ten years. He says: “I love my job and applied to London’s Calling as another means of broadening his horizons”.
“I love experimenting with surface, shape and pattern, finding unexpected ways of working with knit is my forte”, exclaims Marianne Velde. Marianne has been in the industry for ten years now, working in a knitwear department for a German company. Last year [Spring 07], she launched her very own label. For her, London’s Calling provides her with the chance to see how other people view her work. She also fancies the idea of so much creativity coming together in one “melting pot”. This is exactly what this project is about- creative minds becoming one.
