Behind-the-Scenes of Our Spring '14 "Madagascar Edition" Photo Shoot

Another PVBLIC season is designed, done, shot and off to the trade shows! This time we're taking our customer to the African Island of Madagascar. We had our lookbook shoot for "Madagascar Edition"last weekend.

Photo shoots can be both the best and worst time of the season for us. The planning and stress is a bit overwhelming but seeing the last 5-6 months of work come to fruition (something literally created from nothing) is super gratifying! In saying all of that, we couldn't do it without the help of many people...so a huge thanks to Marcell, Andrey, Carlos, Bronwen, RJ, Michael, Ryan, Klavierhaus for the space and of course photog Meg Urbani and Models Zuleika & Carlens. xoxo!

Check out some behind-the-scenes snaps and vids of our Spring/Summer 2014 collection below!

Accessories!!

Michael was our plant designer and beautifully handled the leaves & props (much better job than I'm attempting here).

And below is a sneak peek of some of the final photos. Thanks again to everyone involved. Full lookbook coming soon!

You can see the whole issue online, but it's the iPad experience that really stuns. It's like a traditional magazine but super-interactive with beautiful, artsy, transparent layers, clickable music clips from upcoming artists and travel tidbits all shown in this exciting two-way transfer of information. Really incredible and we're so happy to have a few of our men's pieces from various collections in there! See below for the screenshots.

PVBLIC is a 'Smash'!

Last night's episode of NBC's Smash entitled "The Fringe" featured not one but two PVBLIC shirts from our Fall '12 "Ukraine Edition"! Amazing!

PVBLIC's "Carpathian" crew neck t-shirt.

The funniest part is that PVBLIC is being worn by the character of "Kyle" (who plays a writer of the show-within-the-show) and he starts the scene by saying "Oh hey someone tweeted about us". See they need press too! So this blog post right here is life imitating art, imitating life.

Thanks, Smash! 

These and other PVBLIC t-shirts can be found at Alter in Brooklyn.

I Want My MTV Monday - "Galapagos Edition"

With the music in MTV long gone, we yearn for getting songs daily in video form. So just in time for PVBLIC's "Galapagos Edition" hitting the stores, we've compiled a video playlist in honor of those magically, mystical islands. We give you:

Beirut, "The Rip Tide" - the video for this song is simply stunning and completely inspirational.

Modest Mouse, "King Rat"- Modest Mouse as a band is full of tales and imagery of the great sea. Their animated video for "King Rat" is a protest against illegal whale hunts directed by the late Heath Ledger.  I'd personally go more with "The Whale Song" here (which I listened to incessantly while designing "Galapagos Edition") but the video for "King Rat" fits more within our theme. So here it is!

and of course, The Smashing Pumpkins, "Galapogos" - of which there has never been an official video, but the geek in me felt the need to link to this Final Fantasy fanvid. Holla.

"Galapagos Edition" Goes Live.

Spring is in the air! Check out our website for our full Spring '13 collection, "Galapagos Edition"- inspired by Charles Darwin's magical journey to the islands so many years ago. We just started shipping, so coming soon to a boutique near you!

Once again, we are pleased to be presenting our Fall/Winter '13 collection "Mongolia Edition" at the Capsule New York show tomorrow! The show is running Friday - Sunday (February 22-23-24) from 10-7pm. Hope to see you there!

PVBLIC FW13 Mongolia Edition Lookbook

Christopher Campbell wearing PVBLIC during NYFW.

One of the finest dressed men at New York Fashion Week was stylist and BlackBook fashion director Christopher Campbell. During NYFW, the legendary Lanvin welcomed editors, clients, and influencers to an exclusive cocktail at their recently opened Men's Flagship Store…so of course Chris was there and he was wearing PVBLIC's "Mongolia Edition" puffy jacket at the event. Werk!

Behind-the-Scenes of Our Fall '13 "Mongolia Edition" Photo Shoot

Let us take you on a journey to Ancient Mongolia, the setting for PVBLIC's Fall/Winter 2013 collection, "Mongolia Edition" - inspired by the Great Mongolian Empire and it's legendary leader Genghis Khan. 

And what a whirlwind our photo shoot for "Mongolia Edition" was! We were lucky enough to have a fantastic team: Photographer David Larson was back again to shoot the campaign. Models Suki Santos (affectionately dubbed Suki Stackhouse on set) from SUPREME agency and Thomas Vollmar from FUSION provided their beautiful faces. Roger Joseph swooped in to save us and did an absolutely fabulous job on the hair and head wraps. And thanks to Michael, Allie Smith for makeup and to Marcell Rocha for another amazing job with the styling. All of your help is invaluable! Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!

Check out some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot below:
