Even in the early days of Hendrik Vermeulen Couture, it was all about…

Patterns, texture, and superior quality fabrics. Hendrik Vermeulen Couture forms part of our ‘Best Of’ Ten Years one small seed, in partnership with PUMA. Issue 19’s fashion spread, entitled “Project Aiko: Rise of the Machines”, shows an exquisite collection by the local haute-couture fashion designer.

With one small seed editor-in-chief Giuseppe Russo as art director and photographer Stephen Greeff working his magic behind the lens, models were transformed into robotic femmes fatales in a plot of high drama and thrill.

That day in the garage… it got greasy

one small seed — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 21:59:06 +0000

Part of our ‘Best Of’ Ten Years one small seed Issue, in partnership with PUMA, is the Urban Eniquity fashion spread (Issue 22). We commissioned German photographer Guido Schwarz to shoot an industrial grime-inspired fashion story… Girls, Guys, Grease, this was no ordinary garage set.

Conceptually, it would feature an underground hedonistic den of iniquity that would symbolise the darker side of urban living. Behind the scenes were oiled-up models and lacquered lips as a storm brewed overhead and a caged Rottweiler threatened to break loose into the grungy mechanic’s workshop.

The South Beach Fashion Shoot from Issue 17 brings heat to our ‘Best Of’ Ten Years one small seed, in partnership with PUMA. It isn’t often one is able to have such a renowned model, Bryce Thompson, on set. And a big-ups to all (on and off set) that were there for doing a stellar job and surviving what must have been one of the hottest days in Cape Town! Editor-in-chief Giuseppe Russo remembers a towel had even melted into the tar. Summertime ingredients for one bitchin’ shoot.

William Hundley: The Original Prankster

one small seed — Mon, 16 Feb 2015 06:00:48 +0000

Austin-based artist William Hundley combines all things obscure and rather unrelated into perfect collage-like photographs.

Cheeseburgers and skateboards, cheeseburgers and chihuahuas, cheeseburgers as shoes, practically all things cheeseburger-related are his forte. Aside from the burgers, in 2006 Hundley created an ongoing series, Entoptic Phenomena, in which he captures fabric-draped people in mid-jump. The shapes appear to hover unannounced in the photographs, almost like a Daliesque-sculpture; ephemeral and out of context. Hundley is insistent on letting people know that no digital manipulation has been made, saying ‘they are just photographs’ and that having ‘acrobatic models’ is the key to the success of the imagery.

I love the practical-joke nature of it; if I can make humour and beautiful aesthetics come together, that’s the biggest powerhouse I can imagine (Hundley)

This seems to be the common thread in all of his works, from the quirky names given to his collections, like Little Naked Person Storage, to his Dadaist imagery; sculpture; and installations – the man is an original prankster.

Surreal Photography: The Power of Perception

one small seed — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 12:43:15 +0000

Taiwanese photographer Yung Cheng Lin is a voyeur of all that surrounds him, looking at the familiar – the ‘ordinary’ – he is able to see ‘what can be’. Witty and suggestive, Lin’s highly engaging surreal images are the product of his vivid imagination, photographic technical know-how, and his raw understanding about the power of perception. The images to follow offer a reminder to all of us: context changes everything – it can shatter the ordinary and create surprise.
