Skitchen by Benoit Jammes
Ever wondered what’s happening in the kitchen when you’re not looking? Benoit Jammes imagines potatoes, peppers, onions and eggs to coast through the kitchen with ease, kickfliping and nosegrinding on rolling pins and tableware. The series is called ‘Skitchen’, merging the words ‘skate’ and ‘kitchen’. Oddly enough, most of his subjects seem to be advanced in this sport, except for the the unfortunate tomato which makes a rather ungraceful landing, winding up as ketchup.

Christian Louboutin’s SS14 Collection Photographed As Impressionist Art by Peter Lippmann
considered amongst the most prestigious shoes a woman can slide her feet into, the creations of Christian Louboutin are, for many, the epitome of stylish and luxurious footwear. For the past six years, the brand has created its campaigns in collaboration with American photographer Peter Lippmann, a celebrated still-life photographer known for his painterly and atmospheric images. (We featured their collaboration back in 2009, with a campaign that was inspired by Flemish 17th century still-life painting.)
For Louboutin’s Spring-Summer 2014 collection, Peter Lippmann looked towards European art, this time drawing inspiration from some of the masterpieces of Impressionism: paintings by great masters such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne have been recreated with real flowers, serving as a backdrop for the equally colourful shoes and handbags from Louboutin’s latest collection.
