Short and sweet site for French label Le Col de Claudine. Simply a nicely laid out page with subtle parallax style effect, with nice photography and large type. Love the way the background colour changes on scroll and reflects the colour in the items on the models, really subtle and a nice way to tie it all together. Sweet and simple.

Nice site for GREATS a sneaker brand from the US. Really simple, with a grid of their shoes – clicking through takes you to the details where a nicely laid out page tells you all about the shoe. Love the fun 360 drag at the top and the exploded, military style view of all of the components that make up the shoe – bit like a stripped down gun! Minimal design and some nice little touches like the menu and in-page content reveals.

Site for Fendi to release exclusive interviews, backstage photos and some live streaming for Milan Fashion Week and for the Spring / Summer 2014 collection. Nice infinite scrolling panel of images, galleries, videos etc – all inside this small / large image grid. Smooth transitions to the detailed view and nice mechanic for going through the carousel of images.
Site of clothing label Joe San – the F/W 2013 collection. Some nice features, such as the full bleed videos and nice fluid transitions from each section. Like the video wallpaper and the detail view of the items shown in the video – nice to see these transitions and fluid video in non-Flash websites.

Portfolio site of photographer Robert Grischek. Nice thumbnail grid layout showcasing his work, categorised around his logo by colours and types of project – so you can filter down to specific types – I like the way you zoom in and out of a thumbnail to get the full view.

Site showing the A/W 2013 range from Sonia Rykiel. Sequence of video clips showcasing key looks which you stop at any minute to see the details. Love the transitions to see the detail and the way you can zoom in and drag around the larger images on the left all in-situ – feels pretty slick. Lots of nice little details – like the progress bar in the top right – changing frame colours, and viewing the full range of looks. Looks great and works well down to mobile phones – really nice piece of work.

Site of POSTmatter – best put in their words: “POSTmatter is about the people and projects crossing boundaries. Where art meets science, where fashion crosses over with technology, and where the digital world collides with the physical world. We’re about what’s exciting today and tomorrow.” This is there web equivalent of their iPad edtions. An interesting editorial site with a minimal layout, but some nice touches here and there – with fade to black transitions and and some interesting rollovers. Nice example of a modern digital magazine.

Site promoting the Adidas NEO collection with Selena Gomez. Essentially a video clip of her wearing the range – you can click at any time and the video blurs out and you get a cool transition to show which items she is wearing – click through you can then buy the item. Pretty cool transitions and animations, and neat design.

New interactive magazine highlighting future fashion. Really nice typography and layout throughout – love the simple animations and transitions between sections, subtle and understated. For such a content heavy site the use of white space and grid is well thought out. The mobile version of the layout is nice too – responding nicely to changes in layout. Nice example of a modern magazine style responsive layout.
Nice idea to educate people about HIV in Africa. You are presented with three models – scrolling up reveals more skin – until you are greeted with the message to tweet to continue – thus spreading the message before seeing more. You can then scroll up and see the model (nothing explicit!) and learn a little about AIDS. Really nicely executed idea thats a bit of fun and educational – nice scrolling interface with some cool transitions.

Holding page mini site for ATEA – new fashion label launching in Autumn 2013. Really really simple a long infinite scrolling area of randomised photos and looping videos from their collection – encourages you to sign up and follow for updates. Just liked the way the grid looks and the position of the central logo and the simple interactivity that by itself is just fun to play with. Looking forward to seeing the full site.

Great site for Carrera sunglasses. Super modern, fresh design – with sticky navigation element, sliding interface, overlays and so on – and its responsive looks good on mobile too. Really nice typography, well considered layout and design – love the offset grid and red highlight colour throughout. Loads of nice touches, including mini-campaign style pages telling the story of their history and so on. Great example of a responsive, modern & fresh site with parallax, great typography and loads of interactivity.

Site of OWL optics, makers of glasses and sunglasses aimed at the trend conscious. Nice modern, offset grid, minimal layout – looks like a crafted magazine layout. Very simple but the grid looks nice and piques your interest as your scroll through the frames on offer. The sticky elements of the nav work well and gives you some ground in sections where you might want to buy the glasses.

Promotional site for a range of 3 special watches from swiss maker Vacheron Constantin. The watches are inspired by botanical illustration in the 18th Century, and that theme runs through the site. Essentially a long page with sections of detail off to the side – you scroll and animations are triggered as you go. I like the way the text fades in and the illustrations fade in as you go down, each watch has a slick video highlighting the dial – then prompting you to read about the details which are presented in a more editorial way. Really like the style and the execution which feels like a premium magazine feature.
