Obama is the coolest…

This tilt-shift video makes me miss London a lot. Matt Gosden and Rob Rackstraw captured 12 hours of sped up and tilt-shifted footage. The London Eye, the ease of the Tubes to get round the city and Trafalger Square were a few of my favorite things. One thing I don’t miss is almost getting my head knocked by looking left instead of right when crossing the street. [via]

So I have been suddenly uber-inspired to shoot people’s lookbooks. I love to shoot and make their clothing appealing to the eye. I’m really digging these shots for the Fall 2010 collection from The Hundreds. They were shot by Maria Carmel. You can check out more images over at The Hundreds. Here’s what Bobby Hundreds had to say about the line:

The past decade saw the rise and saturation of modern street culture, and as the next approaches, I’ve imagined a post-streetwear take on our classic apparel aesthetic. So what you will see over these next seasons, as far as our offerings go, is a certain modern familiarity with bold colors, smart graphics, traditional sportswear, and premium denim, but through a nostalgic lens. So what were once vivid hues have been toned down to classic shades, raw and crispy fleece may have a more comfortable hand-feel, and the washes follow suit. There is an obvious emphasis on worn-in sweatshirts and ready-to-wear jackets, while our trademark plaid flannels have taken a more subtle approach. The idea here is that these are your favorite The Hundreds clothes as you may find them to wear in years’ time. And we certainly hope that is the case.”
