Picnic at Hanging Rock VS. The Virgin Suicides

Yesterday had the chance to see a classic movie called “Picnic at Hanging Rock”... knew some things about it but was stunned by the cinematography and the overall beauty. Amazing scenes, light games and psychedelic effects.
Felt like watching Sofia Copula's inspiration before making The Virgin Suicides...The soundtrack is mostly pan-pipe music but if they were changed into synths could have been made by Air easily.

A perfect sunday aussie movie.

itte ladies @ El Mundo newspaper

itteLadiesELMUNDO_o


partial translation from the interview...
........................................................

“Slowly but surely”

“A perfect tandem between Alex, the business brain with enviable skills learned in New York and Ana, an unstoppable torrent of creativity with a degree in Fine Arts.”

“The success came quickly, and with it the big clients like L'Oreál or Biotherm ... but something did click inside the two, pro entrepreneurs but bon vivants deep inside”

“Proudly they explain what they are doing now is slow design....”

“I did not want to simply do style exercises. Design is a process, requires research to reach a solid concept -says Ana- who defines herself as a ravenous of images by historicist spirit. What translated means: addicted to magazines, blogs, and at the same time scanning design in their purest sources -like 18th century japanese ornaments-”

“From this crossing between modernity and crafts, projects arise as a) Pop Pervert (itte studio’s b-sides), where you can find from their own sketches to the Kinks covers; b) a collection of ideal t-shirts, T_Milk, with handmade illustrations sale on-line and c) the major launch, Pattern Tales: a collection of more than 120 prints that they inhale to cover something more than walls (houses, fridges, textiles, anything and everything).”

Just a teaser from the My Bloody Valentine concert

MBVroundhouse240608-poster
MBVroundhouse240608


I recorded this while people were pogo-dancing around me... that’s why the video is soo short.... but totally recommend this gig.
The noisiest experience in my life! EVER!
There were free earplugs for the audience at the entrance of the Roundhouse... A MUST.

You can download the video from the link above... YouTube was banning the video the two times I tried... :/

...and below a couple of Kevin Shields pictures I took.
