We talked about realistic tattoos, colored, black and white, abstract, made with curved lines or only with geometric shapes, representing animals, objects, people, landscapes. Practically thousands of tattoos for a thousand styles. But what if there is only one tattoo that contains a thousand styles? We found it and its creator is called Nicolas Gumo.
Nicolas is a French tattoo artist who, perhaps out of indecision or perhaps because he doesn’t want to exclude any path, has opted for a type of tattoo that contains a bit of everything.
The subjects of classical art mix with the representation of the universe, while animals have half a hyperrealistic body and half an abstract one, and again, what starts with a thick black line can end with a thin colored sign.

Suds and Smiles the photo series by Samantha Fortenberry
Alabama based photographer Samantha Fortenberry has taken a series of photos called ‘Suds and Smiles‘. She asked her friends to choose a series of objects, which had important meaning for them or which were important for the time of the bathroom, thus customizing the set one by one. The collection explores the relationship between people and objects, kitsch accessories and hilarious settings are the protagonists of these super-colored photos.
The people portrayed are naked, the artist wanted to represent them in this way, in all their beauty and naturalness. Samantha also introduces ideas of body positivity and gender equality and, between a male and female nude, the photos express great confidence.
The girl says: “I want to gather a wide variety of people of all their shapes and sizes to show the various forms of beauty that each person has“. Let’s take a look at it together.

Juergen Teller plays with SS22 by JW Anderson
It is impossible to define Juergen Teller as a simple fashion photographer. With his work and his unique and inimitable aesthetics, the German photographer investigates the social constructions that concern beauty and everyday life through his direct and unfiltered style that leads to irony, humor and provocation. His subjects are all treated in the same way regardless of who they are, the cut of his shots is democratic, instinctive and direct thanks to which he has become an icon in the world of artistic and fashion photography. He has always preferred the rough sincerity of the photos that came out of the roll as they were, always true to himself, he has never changed his style even when he switched to digital. He has worked for Burberry, Celine, Marc Jacobs, his photographs have ended up on the covers of Face, i-D and Vogue and he has done covers for Björk and Morrisey.
This time around, Teller becomes a double star for JW Anderson’s SS22 lookbook.
A real calendar where, among the models wearing the prêt-à-porter creations of the British designer surrounded by tires that serve as a set, the German photographer chooses to become part of the project by immortalizing himself in black briefs and a camera around his neck in pin-up poses.
Teller overturns the status quo, overturning, as usual, the exasperated seriousness of the fashion world to play with it and make fun of it. This is the umpteenth proof by a legend of contemporary photography, that he always manages to unsettle the users and rewrite obsolete rules, only to overturn everything again immediately afterwards.

The party for the 30th anniversary of the Shadow 6000 by Saucony Originals
A few weeks ago, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Shadow 6000, the famous Saucony Originals silhouette, street artist EricsOne painted a gigantic mural that continues to dominate Corso Garibaldi. The celebrations did not end with the creation of the artwork, however, as a few evenings later the brand new Carlo al Naviglio restaurant opened its doors to friends of Saucony for an exclusive party where EricsOne’s work was officially presented to the public with a video projected on the mega screens positioned in the location’s courtyard.
The guests had the chance to see many Saucony Originals models displayed like works of art in a gallery, positioned on pedestals lit by design lamps, ready to be admired from every perspective and, in the meantime, to taste the assortment of samples proposed by the kitchen.
As always, Saucony had a special eye on its guests, offering both a selection of items, from tote bags to shoes, personalised and hand-painted by professionals, and a live painting performance by EricsOne, who during the evening created another piece of artwork, much smaller than the one in Corso Garibaldi, but equally impactful.
The event was then enlivened by exceptional music, with a dj-set by Polly and Pamy, who for the second part of the evening gave way at the consolle to DJ and producer Shablo, then joined by artist Ernia who entertained the audience with her “Superclassico” on the very day the single went platinum three times.
The evening also officially launched the new Fall/Winter 2021 campaign which precedes a series of highly anticipated releases throughout October including the Shadow 6000 Sweet Street from the Shadow 6000 Foodfight.
Relive the atmosphere and the best moments of the party in our gallery and in the video below!
