PRISM x AWE @ Miami Art Basel

We like to be different. We also like Helmut Newton.

In celebration of these facts - together with the newly launched AWE magazine (from the guys at Art Wednesday) - we decided to take some PRISM girls, inspired by the master himself, to the Miami streets.

Miami's Art/Public - a park installed with sculptures from the likes of Damien Hirst, Anthony Gormley and Anish Kapoor just outside the Bass Museum during Art Basel was the chosen place for our 'art happening' to celebrate all of these great things in one go. All of which was shot by photographer-extraordinaire Danielle Levitt, to appear in the next issue of AWE magazine.

PRISM LTD EDITION

We've launched our Limited Edition section on the website. We will be selling exclusive colourways, one-of-a-kind pieces and new collaborations. Most of which you can only find here.

First off: our leather espadrilles, originally made for Opening Ceremony for their Fashion Night Out, now selling exclusively on the PRISM website

SKIN by Ryan Hope for Garage magazine

For the launch issue of Garage (Dasha Zhukova's new magazine) they did an art-tattoo project. Artists from Damien Hirst to Jeff Koons designed tattoos and designated where to place them on the body and then Garage did a worldwide search to find the lucky few that would have these pieces of art forever.

You may have seen the cover with the Damien Hirst butterfly tattoo? If not here it is...

Brilliant film maker, Ryan Hope made a movie of the whole process. I saw it last night, it's really amazing.

Dark Side Of The Moon

PRISM nails?! I want.

Elton John

The living legend himself asked me to make glasses for him for his Vegas show, which opened a few weeks ago and goes on for a couple of years.. We ended up hand-making a whole range of crystallised PRISMs: black frames with black crystals, burgandy crystals on burgandy frames, gold on gold, blue on blue..

Here I am on opening night with his stylist Jo Levin, who I worked with on the project, as well as the 24-year-old Cello players, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, that he plucked out of Croatia to bring on tour with him!

The boys are also wearing PRISMs of course - Luka on the left is in Ny matte metal midnight blue and Stjepan on the right is wearing London midnight blue.

And have a look at some of the styles we made for Elton below:
