Experimental Luxury

The next best thing to traveling to exotic places, bumming around the beach and hanging out with fabulous people, is reading about those that do. Gypset Style, written by Julia Chaplin for Assouline, is “about an emerging group of artists, musicians, fashion designers, surfers, and bon vivants– who lead semi-nomadic, unconventional lives.” Hence, gypsy + jet set=Gypset.

The true Gypsetter leads a life of experimentation, forever on the lookout for the most deserted beach cove, the chicest beach party, or the sexiest caftan. The Utopian life of the true Gypset is aspirational, to say the least. And it makes for a seriously hot beach read—whether you’re in Formentera or Fire Island.cover2-201x300

Home-Grown Media In The Most Obvious Of Places

Forget the digital space for second. Take a look outside. The next new thing has been following you around your whole life. Shadows are just waiting to come out and surprise, provoke, compel. By using shadows creatively, we can engage people in a way they wouldn’t expect. Imagine the possibilities.

A statue casts a shadow with painted running shoes on its feet. A parking meter casts a shadow of a palm tree for a beer brand. A car casts a shadow of a woman driving with her friends.

The possibilities are endless, limited only by your own imagination. Next time you need to be lulled out of your everyday, just remember, the idea might literally be lurking around the corner.

Making Sense of 2009

2008 was weird and confusing. The market tanked and Pepsi got a new can, again. Between those two important hallmarks we did come together to elect a new president, thank goodness. How we made it through no one knows. What we can tell you is that if the same confounding fate awaits us in 2009, have no fear. We here at Mouth have created a little game to answer all of your questions this year. Good luck and may Mouth be with you.

All Space Is Good Space

The idea of making ugly space look pretty and interesting has been around since the late 80’s when they invented the plastic “yard rock” to cover ugly pipes and drains so your neighbors and maybe even enemies would not know you were hiding a bomb shelter, wishing well, or food stockpile. This idea has recently been re-discovered by the advertising industry. Now everyday eyesores can be used as a channel for branding!

Melting Street Signs. Leeds, UK

A little bit Banksy, a little bit Dali.

These melted sings in Leeds, UK by FinalFrontier Design are a perfect example of conceptual guerrilla art. Not too intrusive and both eye-catching and clear in their message. Large cites always have room for these ideas for they add depth and quality to their local brand.

Chanel Mobile Art

New York can always make room for more exciting architecture. The latest wonder belongs to Zaha Hadid. For the next couple weeks the Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion will be at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. The pavilion was conceived of as a mobile gallery to house artwork inspired by Chanel’s quilted chain-strap 2.55 handbag. A true classic.

Inside, Karl Lagerfeld’s hand picked artists from around the globe introduce guests to conceptions such as a guitar and couch designed around the elements found in the 2.55. These pieces give the classic handbag fresh legs in the ever evolving worlds of art, music, design and fashion-showing that through the years the popular accessory has not lost an ounce of its everlasting brand identity.
