REISS introduces 'Elements' with Jamie Morgan
For the launch of the Autumn Winter Collection REISS has collaborated with renowned photographer and filmmaker, Jamie Morgan, to create an artistic short film that highlights the feel and aesthetic of the upcoming collection."This season is a step forward for Reiss with a collection we are really excited about. Showing our key products in this new and innovative way felt right for where we are going, as a way of capturing all the energy and excitement that is apparent throughout every aspect of our brand. And generally, if we're this excited about it, I'm confident that our customers will be too." - David Reiss
David Reiss understands what his brand DNA is about as he has been successfully making innovative decisions at the helm of the company for nearly 40 years. He recognized that choosing to shoot the campaign on video was a bold move and was confident that it was the right time for the brand to take this step.
The creative inspiration came as the result of an artistic collaboration with Jamie Morgan, renowned photographer and film maker who founded London's creative collective 'Buffalo' in the 1980's.
The 'Buffalo' collective changed the nature of image making through its pioneering work in The Face. His sense of exploration and creative instincts then brought him to explore moving images which translated into a series of short but beautifully emotive films as well as portrait and documentary studies.

Latest Celebrity Hair Styles
Whoever said “You can’t change a man” clearly didn’t have these stylish sistas in mind. The likes of Ashton, David and Will were fashion-disaster zones before, but enter Demi, Victoria and Jada and suddenly, the world is their catwalk!
Dude, Where’s My Stylist? Circa 2001 BD (Before Demi), goofball Ashton Kutcher had a penchant for greasy locks and ill-fitting suits.
Enter Demi Moore and suddenly Ashton is slick, chic and surely one half of one of the most stylish couples in Celebdom. Demi, I salute you!
Before ‘spicing’ up his life, David Beckham was more known for his ball control than his headlining dress sense.
Yet with a little subtle manipulation and careful cajoling à la Victoria, he has morphed into this sharply-suited, chiseled Adonis who regularly tops best dressed men polls the world over.
This was the 90's ... When Will Smith was The Fresh Prince, with a penchant for questionable threads, OTT trainers and the tallest hair on planet Hollywood.
But today, Will has more of a penchant for dapper suits, sexy salt ‘n’ pepper hair and working out. Luckily for wife Jada Pinkett.
Looking like a saucy extra from The Matrix, it was doubtful a bondage-clad Seal would ever bag himself a supermodel back in the 90s.
What a transformation! Heidi Klum and Seal are now not only one of the snappiest dressed couples in Celebdom, but also one of my favourites.
Before bagging LA’s most stylish socialite, Joel Madden of Good Charlotte was more hip flop than hip hop.
But enter Nicole Richie – living proof that girlfriends make the best stylists – and suddenly Joel is one half of the most glamorous, in-sync and too-cute couples in California.

Model In Focus: Gisele Bundchen

Height: 5 ft 11 in
Hair color: Sandy blonde
Eye Color: Blue

If this is the first time you have heard of Gisele Bündchen than I pity you. If this is the first time you have seen Gisele Bündchen than I think it’s time you seriously reexamine your life. Gisele is an absolutely stunning Brazilian woman who is also the highest paid model in the world. In fact, the Germans actually came up with a term just for Gisele. They call it ubermodel (that’s bigger than supermodel!). She’s that hot.
Rumor has it that Gisele was eating a big Mac in McDonald’s when a talent agent discovered her. Since then she has been traveling to every city that has a catwalk. During her lucrative career many different fashion companies have sponsored her, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Bclgari, Strenesse, Christian Dior, Missoni and Ralph Lauren.
According to Forbes, she is the highest-paid model in the world and also the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment world,having earned $33 million in 2007 and $35 million in 2008 alone, adding to her estimated $150 million fortune. She is also listed on Guinness Book of World Records as the world`s richest supermodel. Bündchen has been the face of more than 20 brands internationally and has appeared on more magazine covers than any other supermodel.
But being rich has not made Gisele a loner. She loves to hang out with her supermodel friends when she goes out for a night on the town. She considers Tyra Banks, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, and Rebecca Romijn as her close friends.
Her on-again off-again relationship with pretty boy Leonardo DiCaprio officially ended in 2005 and since then Giselle has been seen with pro surfer Kelly Slater and, more recently All American quarterback Tom Brady.
