Life isn’t always black & white

… but sometimes it can sure feel like it. As we head into the second month of 2018, it’s becoming clear that we’re headed for another year of stark contrasts between right and wrong, progress and decay, acceptance and intolerance. We need to remind ourselves daily that there is so much good in the world and if we focus on that, it will grow and multiply. We also have the opportunity to stand up for what we believe in and find meaning and community. When we experience injustice it gives the chance to fight it and make real changes—just look at all the progress made this year with the #metoo #timesup #blacklivesmatter #takeaknee and #lovewins movements.

Being the eternal optimists that we are, we see this a time of opportunity. Sometimes stark contrasts create the most beautiful pictures, as our artists will show below with gorgeous black and white images that convey both the vibrancy and vitality of the moment.

In these transitional times, we’re a resource to be relied upon, and we’d like to share with you a few of our values:

SIMPLICITY

Keep it simple. Have it all. Welcoming Dimitri to the Traffic family as a copywriter and creative director, we’ve found common ground over this shared love of simplicity and our drive to eliminate clutter until only what’s truly important remains.

Dimitri Ehrlich has written everything from two #1 hit singles in Japan to ads for Apple, Nike, L’Oreal and others, to journalism for the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Interview Magazine, where he worked for years as an editor. While the range of his talent is clearly broad, it is unified by a stark, simple sensibility fine-tuned to create an aesthetic that is uniquely Dimitri.


Dimitri has written television, interactive and print advertising for Apple, Nike, Citibank, Grey Goose, Tommy Hilfiger, L’Oreal, Joseph Abboud, Dockers, The Gap, Timex, Smirnoff, Banana Republic, The Sci-Fi Channel, USA Networks, Old Navy, Victoria’s Secret, Theory, Weight Watchers, Tanqueray, CNN, Rose’s Lime Juice, David Yurman, BCBG, The New York Times, The Sundance Channel, and MTV. He’s the father of the Daddy Diaries.

His well-rounded world vision comes from being a lifelong student of Buddhism and martial arts, being raised by a loving mother on macrobiotic food, and his adventuresome nature leading him across Vietnam, Cuba, Cambodia, India, Nepal, China and Tibet. He has jammed with Moby, Prince and the Beastie Boys, and gotten drunk with Keith Richards, but values becoming a father the most. We love that!

AUTHENTIC
RELATIONSHIPS

After over twenty years of partnership, famous fashion illustrator Izak Zenou and iconic 5th Avenue brand, Henri Bendel, have teamed up once again. This time, they’re releasing a fun and fresh collection where street style prints collide with classic Bendel silhouettes. Just launched this month, the collection features Izak’s interpretation of New York City Punk.

“Henri Bendel is like family, we’ve been together for a long time (we just celebrated 20 years) and we keep evolving and changing together. I realize this is a priceless relationship, as most collaborations last a season or a year. We love each other more as each year goes by. And that’s family!”— Izak

To see more visit Henri Bendel stores and also go online at www(dot)henribendel(dot)com. Izak’s pop-up art studio at the 5th Avenue location has been extended to the end of February. Go visit! Have a cup of tea and chat a bit.

A Weekend in Palm Springs with Michael Mundy

Michael Mundy took a trip down to Palm Springs to visit his friend Michael Smith, a renowned interior designer with clients including the Obamas, and Smith’s partner James Costos, ambassador to Spain. Mundy made it his mission to capture the particular glamour of Palm Springs, a town unique amongluxury destinations for its Hollywood history. Smith’s design for his own home combines elements of old Hollywood and California leisure. The intimate photographs combine the opulence of Smith’s interior design with Mundy’s unique sense of the place.

Palm Springs was once the go-to vacation spot for old Hollywood, and recently the town has cast its spell on a new generation. Enchanted by its vintage look and ethereal sunsets, the New York and Los Angeles elite have adopted it as a getaway to sit poolside, sip drinks, and forget the craziness of city living, if only for the weekend.

Mundy’s work has been featured in such publications as Architectural Digest, House & Garden, Martha Stewart, The New York Times Magazine, Town & Country, and Vogue. His commercial clients include Andre Balazs Properties, the Charmant Hotel, Champalimaud Design, Hola Magazine, Loews Chicago Hotel, the Mondrian Hotel Miami, Morgans Hotel Group, One World Trade Center for the Durst Organization, Restoration Hardware and Roman & Williams. Mundy is known for his interior and exterior spaces, as well as his portraits, a versatile body of work tied together by a characteristic understanding and intimacy with the subject.
