Water to my ears… Delta Faucet | Instrumental Touch. To demonstrate the precise control of Touch2O Technology, Delta enlists Wilco drummer and percussionist Glenn Kotche to play the touch faucets to the tune of “Reach Out, I’ll be There”. Fun direction for the kitchen and bath fixture brand. Not sure the tune fully comes through here, but it is all both intriguing and entertaining. Wilco fans and others should be well stoked to rethink their faucet situations. Upgrade and simply touch your way through all those dirty pots. Elbow grease still required…

Giving thanks… Harper’s Bazaar, Thanksgiving, 1894. Designed by Louis John Rhead.

Crusty creative… The classic forked crimp. The more Bauhaus crosshatch. The oh-so French braid. The not trying too hard forked edge. The homey crimp. The gamers’ checkerboard. The artisinal spoon scallop and the autumn leaf applique extravaganza. All have their merits. Different strokes for different folk-types… For the pie passionate, vote with Martha & Co :http://shout.lt/ndBG

Site SPOTTED. Lionsgate | Capitol Couture. Movie marketing via fashion (and Tumblr). Site aimed at book & film series fans with fashion slant. Very slick design with the prerequisite animated gifs look at the Capitol’s obsession with lavish luxury. First rate production here from the design of the site to photography and copy featured. We’ll see how the flick and the promotional juggernaut fares. May the fashion odds be ever in your favor.

Star power + the allure of Venice

Louis Vuitton | L’Invitation au Voyage (Director’s Cut). Vuitton pulls out all the stops with this advertising spot, an extravagant short film directed by Romain Gavras featuring David Bowie and Arizona Muse. Promotes the luxury brand’s Tambour watch and Vivienne bag with music played on a harpsichord from Bowie’s new album, “The Next Day”. Glamour. Fantasy. Bowie. Top that…

Behind the scenes… Short video that gives a quick glimpse into the crazy and complex process involved in shooting the recent Louis Vuitton short film. Like the most decadent of Venetian balls, absolutely extravagant and a feast for the eyes…
