This is the lovely Nicky Kinnaird of Space.NK in this month’s Vanity Fair. And she’s leaning on (another W+K client) an Emeco chair! The article heralds the arrival of the new Space.NK store in New York’s SoHo, the first of several stores in the US. VF describes Space.NK as ‘a beauty nut’s nirvana, with fans including Kirsten Dunst, Renee Zellweger and Keira Knightley’. But strangely doesn’t mention our fab window designs for the SoHo store, as seen here.

There’s been much talk in this fast-moving, converging business about the possible need for ‘super-producers’ who can apply production skills across mutliple channels – broadcast, interactive, print, etc. But where to find these rare, mulit-skilled creatures?  At wieden + kennedy lodnon we have taken the radical step of breeding our own. Shown above, the forthcoming fruit of the union of Julia Methold (head of broadcast production) and Mick Bailey (head of creative services). Obviously it’ll be a few years before we can get this uber-producer on the job, but (s)he will be genetically engineered for production multi-tasking
