Hhshirt - The great thing about books is there are no commercials shirt

Often, Hollywood fumbles with films and television shows about fashion. Two of the The great thing about books is there are no commercials shirt and by the same token and most recent and memorable contributions to the canon, Ridley Scott’s film House of Gucci and Ryan Murphy’s series American Crime Story: Versace, were less about the creation and sale of clothes than the tragic, tabloid-y lives of their subjects. Both works received mixed reviews. With the new biographical sports drama Air, directed by and starring Ben Affleck, comes another attempt. Air tracks Nike’s efforts to secure a partnership with a 21-year-old Michael Jordan in 1984, when Jordan was still a rookie and the sportswear giant was nearly bankrupt. At the time, it seemed like a terrible idea: Although a thunderously successful college athlete, Jordan had yet to play an official first game with the NBA. Still, Nike co-founder Phil Knight—played here by Affleck—and company executive Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon) embark on a mission to court Jordan and his mother, Deloris (Viola Davis), to represent their brand. What follows is a gripping film that subtly explores the complex relationship between race, sports, likenesses, and capitalism in America.



As the The great thing about books is there are no commercials shirt and by the same token and art world continues to recover from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent launch of Daisy Chain magazine—a new international biannual from Phillip Bogart Duncan (a former associate art director at Vogue) and Charles Daigrepont Desselle, focused wholly on photography—offers a hopeful sign that there is still room for growth and innovation in creative industries. Duncan and Desselle’s inaugural issue, “Space,” includes original work from artists including Thibaut Grevet, Shaniqwa Jarvis, Kuba Ryniewicz, Emma Summerton, and Zeng Wu. Vogue recently spoke to the Daisy Chain co-founders about starting their magazine at a distinctly challenging time, choosing its first theme, and making a final product that is “somewhere between a coffee table book switched out twice a year and a fashion magazine.” Read the full interview below:
