+ Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the designers behind Proenza Schouler, have enlisted up-and-coming fashion photographer Harley Weir to shoot a short film, PS I Love You (Ithigi Lithigove Yithigou), for their pre-fall 2016 collection. The film explores female social dynamics from mother-daughter relationships to siblings, lovers, and friends. Check out the video below.
+ Film photography fanatics rejoice! Berlin-based Impossible Project, responsible for the resurgence of Polaroid-style film, has just launched a new camera called the I-1, an easy-to-use and mostly automatic analog camera that very closely recreates what it was like to shoot on an original Polaroid. You can snag it for $299 at Impossible Project or at the MoMa Design Store.
+ UK-based NAO has just released a video for her latest single “Fool To Love,” in which actor Ashley Walters is fighting what seems to be an invisible force. Could it be love itself? Check out the new video below.
