SHINE FILMS: Stills from our latest.

Drury Bynum took some gorgeous footage of Alana yesterday. Whoever claims that Baltimore is an ugly city, I have the photos to prove them wrong. The rich texture and history of this city creates the perfect cinematic backdrop for film but also for life. Alana’s wearing in Story 1: tux jacket; Monrow, silk tank; Hannah [...]
SHINE FILMS: Pre-pro
Today director Drury Bynum and muse Alana Madill are creating a short film featuring Shine goodies. We’re especially excited because Drury will be using the Canon 5D MkII camera- a digital SLR with ridiculous film quality. We’re hoping to edit quickly and post soon! Alana’s in Gemma Redux necklace, Hannah Brancato silk dyed top, Monrow [...]
Demistache.
Fashion can be painfully serious, so we love it when a designer comes along with not only a sense of style, but also a sense of humor.

Jesse Dorsey, born and raised in Montreal, Canada, moved to NYC to pursue his burgeoning music career in 1993. Hitting the ground [...]
ART: Christopher Graham/Portraits & Playgrounds
The “Playgrounds” portion of the November show is charismatic photographer Christopher Graham. His intention is meaningful to us because we’ve always considered Baltimore a playground of sorts- for grownups. It’s the kind of place where creativity is invited and nourished, where adults can flourish as artists, musicians, writers, designers- and be what they’ve always wanted [...]
ART: Erin Fitzpatrick/Portraits & Playgrounds

The most flattering gesture in the art world has to be the portrait. Recently, three Shine staffers were inducted into Erin Fitzpatrick‘s Baltimore Portrait Project and yes- we are deeply flattered. New York’s hip social scene has their Elizabeth Peyton, but we have an art star of our own and she’s captured our hi-fi/wi-fi moment [...]
Iosselliani Holiday Collection lands today.
IOSSELLIANI begins in Rome in 1997 from the research gathering of designers Roberta Paolucci and Paolo Giacomelli. Strongly influenced by the Italian classic jewelry, Paolo and Roberta combined their love for vivid materials crafted into modern shapes with the enormous heritage of tradition. Traditional icons, classic ornaments and modern symbols are then bravely read and [...]
