The 1992 Grunge Collection: The Ads That Tried to Save It
Marc Jacobs dressed spring 1993 in Seattle's flannel, lost his job for it, and won the decade anyway — through pictures, not orders.
Direction examines how brands assemble their images: briefs, casting, sets, photographers, typography and the editing that follows. Pieces read campaigns closely and credit the teams responsible. Useful for designers, stylists and anyone whose working week is spent making pictures for a label.
Creative direction taken apart: the brief, the casting, the set, the photographer, and how those choices settle into a brand's picture of itself.
