V Stók & Nicola Serra - "Static Transmission" Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from V Stók & Nicola Serra. A collaborative track between Sofia-born, Bristol-based artist V Stók and Dronica Festival founder Nicola Serra, "Static Transmission" fuses both of the artists' approach to contemporary electronics while creating something outside their usual comfort. The track is part of a new V/A compilation, Vanishing Standards, out now on Bulgarian imprint Amek. The compilation shares the same aim, where the label sought to extend beyond any usual boundaries and collaborate with like minded artists across the experimental, ambient dub and harsh drone spectrums. “Static Transmission” is a great extract from the release, and represents an ominous mental trip with hypnotizing visuals by Scual.

DSTM - AW 2019

Longtime Brvtalist favorite DSTM returns with another striking new collection and campaign for the 2019 autumn/winter season. The Berlin-based bodywear, loungewear and lingerie brand has consistently been at the forefront of cutting edge design, sustainable manufacturing and has provided some of the best editorial shoots of recent memory. 2019 is no different and we are thrilled to present these new photos which capture the ever evolving concepts of the brand as well as their surrealist nature and fascination with body shapes, space and more.

We were so taken with these images and we had to have them on the site and we were also to speak with photographer Ana Hell about the shoot and her style. (see below)

The Brvtalist: Tell us about the concept/idea behind the shoot?

Ana Hell: I mostly shoot very spontaneously without planning each shot in advance. Once I see the space, the garments and the models then I can start to compose an image. In this shooting for DSTM I tried to create something dreamy and magical with a little bit of mystery.

The Brvtalsit: Your work always has a surrealist feel with extra limbs and photos that can deceive the eye. Tell us more about your style.

Ana Hell: I like to think of each image as a small story or a painting that twists reality and makes you look twice.

These pieces are available now on the DSTM e-boutique or in person at the Berlin shop. Shop and read more about the brand at: https://www.dstm.co/

As always, we can’t wait to see what’s next. Follow DSTM on Instagram to stay up to date: https://www.instagram.com/dstm_
