Wave of Inspiration: Ben Barnes by Rankin

I always like Rankin's works so it is very excited to see this video!

In the latest issue of Wonderland, Rankin has done an editorial shoot on model Ben Barnes and this video has captured all the expressions Ben is giving off during the shoot. There are definitely some funny moments and I cannot wait to see the editorial as the video looks very promising.

Trendology: Swatch x Rankin & Hiroyuki Matsuura

So Swatch is really making a comeback! 

Last time I talked about Swatch, it was about the collaboration with Jeremy Scott and now this brand is doing not one, but two collaborations! 

First up, there is Hiroyuki Matsuura. Matsuura has chosen few of his manga characters to be the design of the watches and they look super fun to wear! My eyes are definitely on the Yellow Brigade one. 

Swatch is also collaborating with photography master Rankin to produce a collection which the iris photo is the face of the watch. If you are a Swatch collector, you may want to purchase the Rankin special set with different colors of iris! 

Keep an eye on the Swatch stores near you as they may pop up any time soon!

Ray of Inspirology: Ten Times Rosie

If you have Rankin as the photographer, you just can't go wrong at all! This photo book shall prove my point.

In order to celebrate the 10th season, fashion brand Thomas Wylde has teamed up with Rankin to create a photo book and Rosie Huntington-Whitley is the model for this project. In this book, Rosie is transformed into 10 different looks to represent the 10 seasons of this brand. The images are powerful and each photo is like a master piece to me. I would love to blow up some of the photos and hang them on my wall. This series is refreshing!
