fashion week, here at the 'ville... mov here (also avail for your ipod or prada-phone). bonus link: james jean interview and blog. (via notcot.)
         

Pleasant and suitably exotic, although I feel it gets into trouble as the 'narrative' gets going. It's not out of the woods until it's out of the woods, as it were. And am I being over-fussy to wonder if the graphics are less than top-end..?

         

(found it pretty disappointing m'self...)

         

The cel shading kind of turned me down. Totally down.

         

I was into it, until she yanked out her digital Prada bag.

         

Ooof! -j

         

It has a nice vibe (until that bag shows up). I get the impression that not enough time/money was allotted. The low-res meshes and crunchy rigging really shouldn't be there. But to really GET the subtle loveliness of James' art would be a serious undertaking.

         

better fashion + animation: murakami's superflat monogram for louis vuitton.
