At contain.r we love a good football/soccer match, and although we won’t pretend to be experts in the field of football shoes, we know something about brand experiences and productlaunches. We were very impressed with the way Nike Launched their newest model.
They turned the huge Battersea Power Station purple and showed how to take a product launch to the next level. We think the photo’s speak for themselves.

Maison Martin Margiela’s first fragrance is finally launched after three years of developing its scent. Named ‘Untitled’, it fits perfectly to the brand’s no label approach. The overall minimal packaging design reflects on the scent as an Unisex fragrance.
‘Untitled’ will be available around the world through April.
Comme des Garcons plays with the juxtaposition of beauty and ugliness in their new SHIRT campaign for the upcoming spring / summer collection. Comme des Garcons invited artist Stephen J. Shanabrook to use the same technique as in his ‘Paper Surgeries’ series. We think the result created some space for innovation.
Last week we went to the premiere screening of Tom Fords ‘a single man‘ at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. His debut film, based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood, is an aesthetic culmination of brilliant shots and spotless styling. The setdressers improved Mad Men’s entourage and although the gay vibe is not to be missed, this film is definitely a straight friendly one too.
We came across this great new label; Heritage Research. Their garments are crafted in England using the finest British and Japanese fabrics. Every piece is cut, sewn and finished by hand using traditional English tailoring methods.
