Cool Hunting
Shaïwear, a French sportswear company, has seen a lot of buzz around their interactive catalog for Summer 2006 (which made the rounds on some advertising and marketing sites). It comes in multiple formats and features couples enjoying each other's company (and their clothes). Green dots appear on the screen near the clothing, and a simple roll over the Flash movie introduces a catalog entry with size, color and product details.
The novelty doesn't stop there. In addition to its early adoptor use of video interaction, it features a song called "No Reason to be Shaï" that sounds good and gets the brand name in. To top it off, it shows the models undressing each other. And then having sex. Yes, this interactive catalog goes where few (none?) before have gone, introducing x-rated content as part of the sales pitch and features three flavors for your shopping pleasure: Man/Woman, Man/Man and Woman/Woman.
Please open with care. This site is not work friendly and features x-rated content.
Complementing the interactive catalogs (which can be found at Sexpacking.com) is a making-of video, screen savers, user comments, wallpaper and alternate music selections.
The campaign was created by French agency Agence7Seven, who hired French adult film director Marc Dorcel to direct and nventa to create the music.
Thanks Brent

A perfect example of the strange and creative works that can come out of a collaboration between very different artists is the recent project by the filmmaker David Lynch and the shoe designer Christian Louboutin, both absolute masters of their medium. We discovered "Fetish" at Design Art London where these extraordinary shoes by Louboutin and their erotic photographic counterparts by Lynch were on show...
Lascivious started with super vampy lingerie, but Chloe and Ozy, the brother-and-sister creative duo behind Lascivious, always expressed their interest towards sex illustration. Their online look-books have always been prurient eye candy made with photos, cocktail recipes, cut-out dolls, erotic tickets and the like. In their world populated by modern vixens, bombshells and dominatrixes, when the urge to give more room to art became...
Grafuck 2 is the second annual publication of erotic art works from husband and wife design team Fiel Valdez and Peter Vattanatham (me,me). With illustration, photography, fine art and graphic design from emerging and established artists the second installment has all the lust and humor we loved about Grafuck 1. Grafuck 2 features a double-sided centerfold by kozyndan as well as works that range...
My search for the perfect swimsuit has been an ongoing project for the better part of the last 10 years, so I was pretty excited to happen upon the newly opened Parke & Ronen boutique during my last visit to Los Angeles. Despite the fact that Parke & Ronen (made up of the creative team of Parke Lutter and Ronen Jehezkel) design a complete...
J. Crew has been making some surprisingly well-executed forays into the luxury market as of late and the latest such unexpected product is a collaboration with the British maker of hand-made traveling cases and trunks, Globe-Trotter. Though the New York-based clothier isn't the first to team up with Globe-Trotter (see the Conran shop's 2007 offering), their partnership goes further introducing a six-piece line of...
