Site of Timo Weiland fashion designer. Nicely designed and a little bit unusual, I like the way it has been laid out, and each time you navigate to a new section everything re-arranges itself. All in all quite a unique and fun experience.

Site highlighting Naoki’s range of sportswear – “NAOKI is a unique sportswear collection designed by NAOKI TAKIZAWA, a designer renowned in the Paris fashion world as the decade-long creative director of ISSEY MIYAKE”. A nicely balanced, clean minimal site, with rotating 3d panels showing the range of clothing. Clicking on one shows an overview where you can smoothly zoom in and out. Nicely designed and executed with some really nice animation and interactivity.
One of the nicest portfolio sites i’ve seen for a while, this time for hair and makeup artist Lasse Pedersen. Highly polished, using full screen imagery to really convey his work. Love the way you can navigate the images, and clicking the images brings them to fullscreen enabling you to pan around – animates really nicely. Even the rollover effect on the thumbnails is great, you rollover and you can then pan around the image, fantastic attention to detail, great work…

Website of Norwegian design consultancy Bleed. Pretty cool website, all the things you would expect from a polished agency portfolio – but with a bit more attitude, love all the rollover effects and the clean simple animation style. They showcase their work in a really clean elegant way.
House of Orange – Model agency / hair, makeup, and styling agency / photography agency. Nice, simple and effective portfolio of their talent. Really like the way the images build up in different sizes and with a random selection shown each time. Cool transitions with contrast burns and so on.

Promotional site of Adidas’ Y3 Fall/Winter collection 2009. Styled in the form of satellite imagery, you can browse the various styles from a top down perspective, clicking on one gives you a video of the style rotating 360 degress. With highlights from the ‘look’ being displayed – also allowing you to zoom in and so on. Love the style and the transitions – heavily pixellated sometimes with distortion, nicely done. Lots of cool transitions and the usual flair from Adidas / Sid Lee.

Portfolio site of photographer Marija Ivkovic. Created in quite a unique way – you navigate the photos by rolling over the various strips of grey, each representing a project. The longer the strip the more images in that project – when rolled over the contents are revealed, by simply leaving your mouse towards the bottom you navigate through the sets, there is a zoom function also. Nicely animated with some great photos in there – pretty cool stuff.

Website promoting Triton’s, Brazilian fashion label, Summer of Secrets website. Inviting you to ‘Discover what lurks in the heart’s of strangers’, by linking to a variety of sites through relevant subjects, shown through a drag and explore panorama of imagery and text snippets. Quite fun and a bit weird, there are some interesting sites they link to and it’s fun to explore the mini sites. Love the animation of the flipping images on the homepage.

Interesting landing page that caught my attention of fashion label Anteprima. The page scrolls across with a mix of photos and videos, an interesting way of showcasing the label’s collection instantly, it is nice enough to just sit and watch the photos & video scroll by. The rest of the site is very straight forward but I loved the landing page, very interesting.

Another fantastic website from Uniqlo, promoting their 2009 collection. Presented with a full screen video with models walking on a giant cross, wearing Uniqlo clothing, with numbers and markers highlighting the style number following their movements. When you click on a style another video loads with the model walking alone along the giant cross, allowing you to see in detail what they are wearing. Cool music and nicely shot video assets, love the transition from the main video to the individual videos… very cool.
Site of the Fall Winter 2009 collection of Filippa K. Posing the question ‘What inspires you?’, and offering a floating sea of tags, once you click a tag a series of photographs are arranged highlighting the range with some hotspots appearing. In each of the hotspots certain aspects are displayed, i.e. the item, or videos showing the ocean and so on. It is good to see a site showing a personality and a considered style when presenting the range and indeed the label, interesting way of navigating too.

Promotional site of the Bubblewood concept store in Paris. The main focus is on the ‘bubble’ menu which in the centre of the site is the fun element in a bold and typographic based interface. When clicking on a section your view zooms in with typography composing the background, each section different from the next. Nice looking and fun site.

Simple site promoting the NSW Collection Fall 2009 from Nike. Very minimal and focusing on video and photographic details of the clothing. Love the slow motion of the models running and then the transtion between full motion and slow, nice visual effects too. Cool rollovers on the full shot of the items, and nice art direction, with new videos released monthly.

Site of clothing shop Daffy’s. Makes use of bold typography and imagery to maximise impact. I like the animation and transitions between sections, feels very fresh and modern.
