“Scans of various Christopher Nemeth ads found on the rear pages of STREET Magazine between 1993-95 🔍 Beginning his career in London during the early 80s, Nemeth pieces became an editorial staple for magazines such as i-D, and his deconstructed/upcycled aesthetic - which he pioneered alongside stylist Judy Blame and shoe designer John Moore through their 'House of Beauty and Culture' collective - has remained an enduring reference, whose influence has been acknowledged by designers such as Martin Margiela and Rei Kawakubo.
A significant factor in Nemeth's prominence amongst Japan's fashion press during this time (particularly relative to the more scarce coverage he received in the UK) can be attributed to his - at the time, unprecedented - decision to shift his design operations from London to Tokyo in 1986, eventually culminating in the opening of his Harajuku-based 'Nemeth' boutique in 1993 (which several of these adverts were conceived to promote). The popularity of the store, and the patronage Nemeth's designs received from Tokyo's heavily documented street-style scene of the time, would later allow the designer to expand operations and open further stores in Osaka, Fukuoka, and Nagoya.” via zerocoolarchive
THE ALIENIST, S02xE06 (2020)
Daniel Brühl as Dr. Laszlo Kreizler
"Sara, if you have no prior engagements, a spare pair of hands would be very much appreciated."
A scene from The Alienist that lives rent-free in my mind: John casually (for the time period) asking Sara if she can help him go through the New York Times archives after they finally hooked up and Laszlo, picking up on the weird vibe, surreptitiously but carefully watching it all play out.
Always cracks me up, how he looks up again, like he can't help himself. Like, you know, all of us. It's a small moment but it endeared me to the good doctor even more.
It's in throwaway scenes like these that Daniel's talent as an actor is evident: he's reacting rather comically but still with enough subtlety to be true to his character. This is also why I want him to do more comedies. A character being funny with no idea he's being funny is the funniest thing ever.
