Metropolitan Publishing

I’ve worked on numerous menswear trend forecasts and several magazine cover series for the Dutch publishing house, Metropolitan, mostly in collaboration with the Colourist & Stylist, MC Viannay. These works represent a small sample of our creative output, much of which has been been printed and published internationally.

The primary aim of the shoots, targeted specifically at the fashion manufacturing and design industries, was always about conveying a distinct but focused and inspirational message about current trends, in an accessible and re-interpretable format.

Privet

Privet is a specialist beauty, grooming & non-surgical treatment salon in Notting Hill, London.

In a bid to attract more male customers we were initially asked us to conceptualise, theme and create some thought provoking and humorous seasonal imagery for their salon window and social campaigns. It proved to be a very enjoyable process. We went on to completely revamp and re-imagine the shop’s previously uninspiring exterior with a new colour scheme, logotype, signage, planters & window imagery.

More recently we’ve created promotional imagery for Privet’s DNA defined skin programme, a comprehensive and uniquely structured range of treatments based on laboratory analysis of each client’s individual DNA profiling.
