Volume 14
Sweating through a Summer of Style

What can we say? Summer was glorious. The sun was shining, the air conditioners were blasting. Fashion and art was in full swing with Alexander McQueen's record-breaking show Savage Beauty in New York, and Anish Kapoor's breathtaking Leviathan at Grand Palais in Paris.

Here in our studio in Hong Kong, fashion & arts came together in other ways. Working with Chanel, The Hong Kong Ballet, Tiare & several new emerging brands, we've sweated through a summer of stylish projects.
Watch This Space for an iPad launch, coming soon!





what we’ve been up to

TIARE
Nestled in Soho, Tiare is a long-standing favourite of women who discover labels they can't find elsewhere in town. After five years it was time for a change, and Whitespace handled the re-branding of the e-commerce website.

THE HONG KONG BALLET
Whitespace begins working with the ballet beginning with Swan Lake. The studio produced visuals for the popular ballet, and continues to develop art direction and design for upcoming performances of Coppelia and
Moments in Time.

CHANEL
Commissioned by the Chanel store design team, Whitespace is one of a roster of international artists creating film works for their retail spaces. Inspired by the legendary Chanel No.5, our 1st film Firebird, re-imagines the bottle as myth and mystery.

STYLE INTEL
Design news and stylish views is what Style Intel delivers. Whitespace helped fashion writer and Huffington Post contributor Blue Carreon designed a stylish new blog that features some familiar faces, including Fiona Kotur of KOTUR. Her website, designed by Whitespace in 2009 is still going strong.

FAST BEAUTY
Supported by a logo design by Whitespace, new brand FastBeauty has just launched their first shop on Hollywood Road. A jewelled clock-motif underscores their concept of treatments under 30 minutes, because
The Only Luxury is Time, and "because beauty can't wait!"

CHARITABLE CHOICE
