Lazy me

I had a semi wonderful long weekend. It was the warmest in Holland for awhile so most people used the opportunity to go out and have fun (which I so DID). However there is only a certain amount of options to do before the boredom and lethargy set in. I have been appropriately uninspired and neglectful when it comes to updating the blog. There were many lists in my head but in the end my laziness won! and I must say that I have been hooked on micro-blogging (read: twittering like mad) hehehe anyway despite this stupid rambling, I am here to share another wonderful execution to commemorate Olympus's 50th anniversary. You know me, I love my camera ;-)

Hermès and Dior

I suppose everyone has been caught up with Lady Noir which was released by Dior yesterday. Starred by Marion Cotillard and directed by Olivier Dahan, viewers were left hanging for the continuation of the short thriller movie with the next installment, Lady Rogue. This makes me I wonder if it is an emerging trend among the big fashion houses? Remember the recent Chanel no.5 with Audrey Tatou or the previous one with Nicole Kidman? There is also the Fitting Room Follies which was produced by Kaiser Karl himself. Now, I also present you the latest video from Hermès to promote their new scarf collection, "All I Do".

What should we do next? A video about design strategy

RESONANCE from chris hosmer on Vimeo.

Is this just too much? The power of branding.

Disney has cleverly steered itself from branding junk food aimed to kids to a much healthier options such as vegetables and fruits. The producers are happier because they are partnering with a famous brand and selling more. Children are more than eager to chomp on avocado promoted by Zac Efron. Parents would prefer to buy the healthier range than the sugar laden snacks. And of course, Disney managed to hit two birds with one stone by including its 'corporate social responsibility' in this marketing strategy. Eveyone is satisfied right? What do you think? May be this Hannah Montana Banana article can help you make up your mind.
