The creative chaos of a sole visionary is stolen and transformed into a global fashion brand.

As both the fashion and tech industries get their knickers in a twist over the suspension of tween darling Tavi Gevinson’s blog by Google, we bring you some other Yohji Yamamoto images, this time, from Fall Winter 1997. Creative direction is from M/M Paris, and photography by Craig McDean.

The final post in this series is the Autumn Winter 1997 campaign. Creative direction is from Marc Ascoli, photography by David Sims, styling by Joe McKenna, and design by M/M Paris.

Third in our series is the Autumn Winter 1999 campaign. Again, creative direction is from Marc Ascoli, photography by Craig McDean, styling by Joe McKenna, and design by M/M Paris.

In the second of four posts, sad-blog returns to the original look books to bring you these images. Here is Spring Summer 1999, with creative direction from Marc Ascoli, photography by David Sims, styling by Joe McKenna, and design by M/M Paris.

The anti-website; it’s seemingly banal exterior betrays a somewhat more considered execution. In 1999, the film ‘Requiem for a dream’ broke new ground, not only in cinema, but also online. The site for the film ironically pioneered the use of flash 4.0 to create a purposefully confusing navigation system to misdirect the user through their content. The effect is very convincing, and subtly conveys a another level of social commentary which complements the film’s content. In more recent years, there have been websites from belgian fashion house Maison Martin Margiela, dutch design agency Kessels Kramer, and Paris based design team M/M that have furthered the deconstructivist style in web design.

It is always very remarkable when the foremost creatives in any business join forces, but these Jil Sander campaigns carved an aesthetic all of their own. In the first of four posts, sad-blog returns to the original look books to bring you these images. First up is Spring Summer 2000, with creative direction from Marc Ascoli, photography by Mario Sorrenti, styling by Joe McKenna, and design by M/M Paris.
