Snowsballs and Skatebords
In 2010 Man About Town shot a short video for its Autumn/Winter issue starring the Spanish freestyle skater Kilian Martin. Dressed in Giorgio Armani and Dior Homme looking very dapper, the Spanish impresario does his jaw-dropping trademark spins and jumps, proving that skateboarding can be elegant too. The film dust flickers, Ricky Nelson's soft murmur and Killian's groomed look make this shoot an amazing class-meets-street film.

Harmoni Korine takes us to the American backwoods in his recent fashion film for Proenza Schouler. The disturbing video, promoting the designer duet's A/W 2011 collection, features two kids, creepy old man, forest, a goat and all the other things you expect to find in a small town in the middle of nowhere. The kids dressed in feathers and Indian ponchos sing a horrifying song about showballs, wander around the deserted town and hang out with the scary old guy that can light his hands on fire. The Korine's creation reminds us of all the horror movies with creepy kids at once and we absolutely love how it incorporates our fears and our passion for fashion.
