Japanese artist Motoi Yamammoto creates stunning installations with one simple ingredient: salt. The large-scale installations feature incredible detail and intricate patterns. When you attend a funeral in Japanese culture, sometimes salt is thrown over oneself as a cleansing act. Motoi's sister passed away at a young age and from this tragedy stemmed the idea of using salt in his work, creating what he calls labyrinths and mazes.

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD is helping rebrand the English National Ballet with a new campaign that shows the ballet dancers wearing the label's creations. The imagery aims to celebrate a fusion of modernity and tradition.
"I am thrilled that Vivienne Westwood has agreed to let us use her clothes in our first campaign," said ENB artistic director Tamara Rojo. "It's a dream come true to be able to collaborate with someone of such stature. Her designs capture the creativity and ambition of our dancers who, in turn, add drama and movement to the clothes."
The rebrand features a new logo, new production imagery and a new website, as the ENB strives to champion ballet as a historic art form, while making it contemporary, accessible and relevant. Westwood was chosen as the first of many collaborators to emphasise a "non-conventional but classical image". The campaign - which a Westwood spokesperson described as "a perfect collaboration of English tradition" - was formulated with the help of creative agency The Beautiful Meme.
"It is about taking dancers out of tutus and moving away from conventional backstage images to show the intensity and creativity of the dancers," said The Beautiful Meme creative director Tom Sharp. "The Company's directive is to respect the tradition of ballet but build on it, and our copylines are designed to reflect but challenge a perceived view of the art form. Tamara Rojo inspires unusual collaborations so to create a campaign that combines choreography, amazing fashion and beautiful photography demonstrates her ethos in every single image."

For this reason that the graphic designer MavyDesign, inspired by the famous photographs taken by Anne Leibovitz, has reinterpreted digitally and context to the present day, giving them the appearance of some of the most famous women in the world.
So the likes of Bianca Balti, Coco Rocha, Rihanna and Angelina Jolie take on the role of Aurora, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and Belle, but there are also Snow White and Ariel, all catapulted to New York from the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and Apple megastore on 5th Avenue, then still struggling with the botox and a shoe dream where there are the creations of Christian Louboutin.
