#TOMMYFALL13 NYFW SOCIAL STREAM
A twist on the usual digital content stream or feed at a fashion show - we visually curated the tweets and Instagrams of influencers at the Tommy Hilfiger Men’s and Women’s Collection and syndicated these across LCD screens live at the show itself, on the #TommyFall13 Facebook tab and on Tommy.com - sharing backstage access pre-show and footage and commentary live from the front-row as it happened.

Pinterest - for more than just pinning your dream house or Fall 13 wardrobe wishlist. Situation: a group of expats craving local insight about the best places to eat and drink in Amsterdam. Solution: the creation of a collaborative Pinterest board (with locals and expats alike) sharing the best spots in town; introducing A’dam Eats.
“The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they’re valued. So it’s much more about creating climates. I think it’s a big shift for a lot of people.”
Sir Ken Robinson on the principles of creative leadership, an excerpt from his must-read book, Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, which builds on his previous work in the role of creativity in education. (via curiositycounts)

New Year’s Day 2011.
A beautiful (Southern Hemisphere) summer’s morning.
Lying in the hammock at Hahei and reading Dumbo Feather.
Inspiration hits me in an interview with Pia Jane Bijkerk (amazing Australian blogger/stylist, who coincidentally lived on a houseboat in Amsterdam) and her take on the truth of realizing dreams; how most people leave theirs sitting perfectly on the shelf, where they can keep them pristine and perfect and safely fantasize about ‘one day’ doing them VERSUS the brave few with the courage to take on those dreams and bring them into reality - sacrificing some of their dreamlike status for what you’ll achieve.
I remember lying there in that hammock, thinking about what dreams I was going to be ‘taking off the shelf’ as it were; moving overseas by myself and creating a new life, saying yes to experiences I normally wouldn’t etc.
Now, those dreams are well and truly off the shelf and form the basis of a reality I couldn’t imagine being without.
On the coffee table in my canal-side Amsterdam apartment lies Bijkerk’s memoir entitled The Heart That Wanders, a constant reminder of the celebration of taking risks, following your heart and your instincts, letting go of what was and could be and embracing a world of unfolding opportunities.
“Ko te taki rapu, ko ia te kite : she who seeks will find”
