Bernard Walters
Photographer Bernie Walters caught the photography bug at an amazing time in rock and roll history. The year was 1964, and The Beatles, the Who, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and more were making their way to America and rock and roll music would never be the same. Coming of age in the 60s, Bernie Walters knew that something incredible was happening, and he knew he wanted to be a part of it. So in 1965, he scored tickets to his first concert, which just happened to be The Rolling Stones. Walters grabbed his camera, and so began a lifetime committed to chronicling in pictures, the biggest stars of rock and roll. At first, Walters photographed rock stars in action as a hobby. But then ten years later, as founder and president of the International Rock and Roll Music Association (IRMA), he was back shooting musicians as the photographer for “Communique,” IRMA’s house publication. With those credentials, Walters ended up working for and with artists such as Leon Russell, Kansas, Joe Cocker and others. But now instead of shooting them from a fan’s perspective, he was able to photograph them from an inside view of their work and their lives. Having founded IRMA as a small fan-based organization dedicated to rock music, Walters found his fledgling organization being noticed and publicized by the most well known publications in America, including write-ups in Billboard, Playboy, Variety, Record World and Trouser Press. Walters’ collection spans three decades and he is now displaying his images to the public. From the first Stones, Who and Cream tours, to Woodstock and Live Aid, to Cheap Trick and the Pretenders, Walters was there with camera in hand, photographing rock and roll history.
Jake
Originally emerging from the depths of Hull, in the North of England, London based graphic artist JAKe’s work is instantly recognisable – having first come to prominence via his portraits of artists such as Massive Attack, Beastie Boys and Oasis for NME and the like.

Other projects along the way have seen him work for Ugly Duckling, Steinski / Sugarhill Records, Lucasfilm ( Star Wars) and the Hip Hop Immortals events, as well as collaborating with Carhartt, Colette and Comme Des Garcons. He is the creator of the BADjUjU characters, which were released as collectable figures in 2002. His next figure, ‘Enough Apes Already (Another JAKe Ape)’, an image which previously appeared printed on a 2K t-shirt, made the transition to vinyl in December 2004, and was released in four sought after variants. He is also the creator of Geekboy, a series of acclaimed animated shorts which he directed for Sci-Fi Channel.

Vänskap
Vänskap are a bureau of design located in the Northern European woods. Way too near those Russians, and way far from sunny California, Vänskap got it’s start in Helsinki the summer of 2003 with the four founding members still attending local art school. After flunking studies, the four got together in order to make a better world — for themselves, at least. Ever since, Vänskap have, like Vikings, pillaged and explored new continents in pursuit of fine design. On the way they’ve managed to conquer clients such as Music Television, Colette and Harper & Collins. The bright heads of Vänskap make graphic design with a witty twist of humour — steering clear from any trivial « cool ». Besides popular culture, Vänskap get their ideas from paranormal studies, mythology and The Bible.
Yoko Ono
Yoko Ono was born in Japan in 1933. Since the beginning of her prolific career, she has consistently been a pioneer in developing new art forms, moving freely beyond and between genres, from avant-garde to Pop. Her profoundly social art aims to involve the viewer as an active participant and to break down long-standing distinctions between art and everyday life. During the 1960s Ono was a key participant in many of the innovations of the New York, Tokyo, and London vanguards, including Fluxus, Conceptual Art, and the underground film and performance scenes. When she married John Lennon in 1969, the couple made use of the media coverage surrounding their honeymoon to campaign for world peace, a theme that suffused many of the collaborative pieces they later created. Ono’s work of the 1990s has addressed themes of change, survival, and time. In 2001-2002, « YES YOKO ONO », Ono’s major retrospective show, traveled through 5 cities in the US and Canada and captured great audience interest.

Edwin and Folk have been friends for a while now and in a sense of good old fashioned idea sharing have joined forces with the first of several mini capsule collections. Edwin have been let loose on some of the popular styles of Folk’s sister footwear brand, Shofolk to create three men’s shoes and one women’s styles incorporating classic denim detailing. Folk have used Edwin’s Japanese denim heritage to the full to put their stamp on two styles of denim in two washes.
Edwin chose Shofolk’s popular Alaric and Armstrong styles and have made them their own by adding denim and clever stitch lines resembling their jeans.

The Edwin Spring/Summer 2010 collection is a story of two chapters. Chapter 1 is focused around the brand’s core elements and priceless heritage – Denim. Chapter two focuses on a new direction and a deliberate nod to the future of Edwin – Ready to wear. A definite ‘Maritime’ theme is applied to the overall ethos, in both the imagery and design.
