July 1st, 2009 HJGHER
At a HJGHER party, we introduced a short story installation, “And she melts in visions of eternal day”, written and produced by us here at HJGHER.
Taking our cue from the cinematic experience of the 1940s, we wanted our audience to experience a live performance instead of simply watching a movie on screen. We had a narrator read the entire script while a live cellist accompanied her on set as she read along. The audience was treated to a projection of still images shot by Jovian Lim (Oats & Sparkle).
Jovian was given free reign to interpret the story as he envisioned it should be in his head, but what made this all the more interesting was that we did this in collaboration with Club21’s BLACKJACK. We picked out clothes from the BLACKJACK store that we felt would bring represent different acts of the story and Jovian shot it in his signature style.
“And she melts in visions of eternal day” will be published for the first time in conjunction with the launch of UNDERSCORE N°1: THE ___ ISSUE magazine.
All images shot by Jovian will be made ready for viewing on the Underscore website soon. Stay tuned.

If you’ve seen Control, you’re probably wondering where she is as well.
We like how apt it is for Natalie Curtis to find love in taking photographs (above), and might we add, rather rich and almost foretelling ones too; as if something is about to happen. Much respect due, to a karmic symphony of twined lives coming full circle.

The launch of the Julius 2008 S/S collection was reinforced with a photo exhibition over at Midwest Tokyo, Tokyo and Mind Thrive, Kyoto.
Aptly titled “Pilgrimage“, the monotone exhibition displays the 2008 S/S collection in what seems like a fashion editorial spread executed with grandeur. Coming together for this project was the trinity of photographer Muga Miyahara, stylist Tetsuro Nagase and Julius head designer Tatsuro Horikawa. The Tokyo exhibit ended yesterday but catch the Kyoto leg if you can, from 17-20th Jan 2008.
He who wears Julius would probably have a manifesto that reads, “I’m really in touch with my feminine side but ask me again if I’m ”un-straight” and I’ll kill you”. It’’s absolutely poetic architecture in metrosexual motion.
And yes, if it isn’t obvious already, we are religiously ardent fans.

YangTan shows us his latest commercial work with his recently updated website.
Yangtan’s craft is his meticulous eye for detail and colour, but what truly separates him from the rest is his finishing treatment; a polished austerity with a dubious undercurrent of childlike wonder. Hire him now before he gets famous and charges too much.
