If you’ve been following Trendland over the years, you should be well versed in the work of one our favorite creative duo’s, Scheltens + Abbenes. From their methodical arrangements to look books to still life, they never cease to captivate us with their visual imagery. Rather than present an object in its original state, they arrange and meticulously photograph their subjects, which eventually take on the form of a new object all together. The innovative couple can be seen as the forerunners of the emerging still life trend and its presence in the fashion realm. They recently came to the U.S to receive this years Applied/Fashion/Advertising ICP Award and present their newest book Unfolded, a book that simultaneously functions as an exhibition. Imitating the physical experience of walking through an exhibit, was only one subtle aspect of the book. We were able to sit down with the artists to discuss their work and the processes that inspire their creativity. Check out the video interview below!

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
