I realise I admire so many collectives that have a very distinctive style, and this is as I see self identity as such a huge thing and it is your self brand to strangers as you walk down the street, and styling working alongside photography/graphic design/writing works hand in hand in my favourite way.
Polyester Magazine team, made up of mostly students who are creating something pretty cool and have the attitude of creatives i'd love to work with in the future. pics are assorted, no set team pic. do all kinds from gorgeous styling to writing about interesting issues and throw parties for their launches. Maybe look at their invites to inspire my part invite inside the cake box
a pic from one of their launch nights
Clandestine Collective- same, student female art collective who are really cool and have had the balls to start this collective and go for it which i find super inspiring.
The Factory- Andy Warhol and his unbelievably cool hangout, just a collective getting together in a huge studio and just making making making.
Mushpit Magazine- I admire the creators so much for believing in Mushpit so much they don't sweeten up for advertisers to fund the issues and are unconvetional but memorable, and promote individuality within their publications opposed to the standard conventional womens magazines.
Nicola Formichetti - undoubtedly cool as fuck, gets to work with some of my favourite artists in the industry and has been the art/creative director of Dazed and Confused. Great distrinctive vision. Enough said really. I feel so many I am posting are all female, which works amazingly for those collectives but I don't think teams should ever be just all one gender as this can be limiting.
Jessica Walsh - an inspiration to any aspiring female designer, puts out some really important projects and only being 29 has come so far in such a short time and really is fearless.
David Bowie - recently deceased starman himself wasn't just a musician, he collaborated with every kind of artist and really became the eras they all made through his music but also his looks. He proves how impactful fashion is. Absoloute legend.
Grimes - although she is a DIY princess and has illustrated and exhibited her own artwork and co directed her music videos, her passion and collaborations with other musicians has been so experimental she is such an inspiration and she has taken a lot of risks which I admire.
Guerilla Girls - advertising design with a message still extremely important still to this day, highlighting the importance of gender inequality in the art world.
