Welcome to Envision Magazine, I am Simon Wise and I will be your host aboard. So sit back, relax and enjoy the comforting sounds of all your favourite tracks, the smell of sweet apple crumble on a cool winter’s evening and the taste of the best Australia has to offer in fashion, art and photography.

Delusion can be used to describe a state of mind that is misleading to itself in a dream-like world where reality is forsaken. It is in this place that objects & people create a world full of beauty. It is to that place that the daring lead and only the brave follow. We see the leaders, they are the successors but it is time to acknowledge the brave followers. Those who have stayed close behind only to learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before in turn bringing a new ‘freedom’ to this world. This freedom is ‘Delusion’.

Featured in this issue are a bunch of designers, photographers and fashion designers; their work, companies and lives. All of them fresh, fertile and very talented. This is the first feature of the new-age artistic movement running toward success and creativity. These people deserve respect for pushing through, enduring the hard times and lapping up the good ones. These are the people that will pioneer tomorrow, influence the world through art and creativity. They live in their world’s — their delusional worlds.

The delusion photoshoot is inspired by the lost. Those wandering in the unknown. Those daring to keep walking. Those who, despite circumstances, keep pushing through. It is a representation of the very people who make the creative industry what it is today — the fashionists, artists, musicians and designers that continue to keep on keeping on.

The shoot took place late afternoon in an empty field surrounded by traffic, construction and crazy looking fences. We had a lot of fun on the shoot. There is never much direction when it comes to my shoots — I know how I like things but never how I want things. The feel of the shoot gives it character. Stressed shoots create stressed shots, in comparison, relaxed shoots create a chilled environment.

The main idea, similar to the inspired idea, was to capture the emotionless feeling of wandering. The light had alot to play in this. It was a super bright day and I was praying that some cloud would come over and it worked! A few clumps of cloud came over which casted some pretty cool shadows and light intensity. Natural lens flares formed aswell. Was really happy with how it all turned out.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the

ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be

saved, desirous of everything at the same time. The

ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing,

but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman

candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”

–Jack Kerouac, On the Road (1957)

...Delusion...

Delusional is a term I would describe New Zealand based photographer, Luke Lee. With the world before him, his photos show a lively passion for creativity and cleverly constructed composition. Shooting everything from runway fashion to weddings, Lee’s heading for a bright future.

Born in Korea, Lee immigrated to Christchurch in 1994 where he graduated from Christchurch Boys’ High School in 1998. From there he went on to study Computer Science at University of Canterbury until 2001 where he began working as a photographer and journalist for RadioKorea Community Magazine. Lee began his freelance photography career in 2005, going on to graduate Professional Photography in 2008 winning awards such as Student/Assistant Silver, NZIPP Iris Award 2008 and a place in the ‘Witness’ Exhibition sponsored by Creative NZ.

I first met Luke Lee when I had an opportunity to shoot a wedding with himself and Di McBride in Christchurch, New Zealand. I learnt alot off of this guy. His ability to control a photoshoot in the most relaxed manner.

Luke Lee’s portfolio shows also his love for post-production. Catpuring the essence of ‘dulusional’, Lee produces misty landscapes catpuring a bazaar atmospheric belief in the unseen; a creation of faith.

“For years,” explains Lee, “I have been waiting and studying and wishing to be a photographer”. Now Lee has a great portfolio of stunning fashion photography, intimate portraiture and fresh wedding photos.

Lee is stoked to be doing the very thing that he loves to do — taking photos. He explains: “I am so content with where I am. I’m loving to capture the moments of others dreams. Finally I am seeing things in my own perspective.” Keep an eye out for more of Luke Lee’s work.

Envision had the opportunity to have a chat with young and upcoming designer Per Weum. He tells Ben Parnell all about his life.

Tell us about yourself?

I am 22. I like Subway and pizza. I am awesome at SKATE on PS3. I am a graphic designer, haha.

When did you decide that you wanted to become a designer?

I went to a design high school in Norway so that was, I guess, the beginning of my love for design and the arts.

What are you doing now?

Currently, I am living on the Gold Coast and completing a Bachelor of Visual Media at Griffith’s QCA. I don’t have a job here in Australia

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in general life, surfing, skateboarding whatever I’m doing. But in terms of art inspiration I like to check out ffffound.com and behance.net which archive some amazing art but I don’t like to get to hooked on looking at stuff that it over influences me. Inspiration should be inspiring but not completely influencing so that my art is just a copy of someone else’s. Oh also, a book called Illustration Now is great. Check it out!

What do you want to do when you grow up?

Haha, well certainly not a police officer. I like being versitile. Flash stuff is great! I love animation just as I love vector illustration. It’s kind of hard to say but I would love to just be doing what I do. Sitting in some sweet studio in some sweet country earning money doing what I love.

What’s your favourite artwork?

From my artwork, is probably the artwork ‘IMAGINE’ [Pictured on the right]. I had to do it for an assignment for my ‘Digital Visualisation’ class at QCA. It ended up getting sent to Melbourne for an art exhibition and was sold – pretty stoked about that! Haha.

Who are your favourite artists and why?

Chuck Anderson, his photo and light techniques are what I would label as ‘perfect’. The scenic tours of JeremyVille will forever amaze me. The simplicity of his illustrations always is a nice contrast to the depth of his work and the overall ‘fullness’ of his creations. McBess’ 3D animation and his sketches - black and white perfected. Also Tim Burton, his productions are to die for...He is the man!

What are you working on at the moment?

I have some assignments that I’m trying to get done. All my focus is on that really. Currently designing a skate style magazine titled ‘URBAN LEGENDS’, which features a bunch of photos that some of my friends and I have taken. It’s lots of fun.

So what’s living of the sunny Gold Coast like?

It’s so relaxed! Everyone is real chilled! It’s just real different to Norway but I still love it here. The beaches are world class and the weather is awesome. It’s a sweet place to live for a while. I don’t think that I will stay on the coast for ever, but still, I’m really enjoying it while it lasts.

Jack Kerouac once said, “The only ones for me...are the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing. The ones who burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles...” When we found that statement we hunted down the most talented young designers we could find so...take two sisters, a huge amount of creativity; add some culture, heritage, flavour and a passion for style and you’ll find yourself in the delusional world of Gold Coast based designers Lauryn and Kylie Lakay.

Originating from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, it has always been a dream for the sisters to make it big in the fashion realm. Lauryn (19) is currently studying at Griffith University on the Gold Coast doing a Bachelor of Commerce and younger sister Kylie (17) is in grade 11 at St. Andrews. Their love for making and designing began in the living room of their parent’s home two years ago, when the sisters made their first dress for a friends birthday party. After an evening of compliments, dreams started flowing into their heads; ideas, fabrics, colour palettes, the world was their oyster, and from that, one dress turned into two, and the birth of LauKy was here.

The girls are ecstatic about their 2010 Spring/Summer collection, which is deeply inspired by the majestic aura of Europe. Lauryn and Kylie took some time to travel around Europe earlier this year and came back full of inspiration. “We fell in love with the architecture, the people, the smells, everything! We really wanted to incorporate as much of Europe possible in this collection. We bought all the fabrics over there, and the colours are just so sweet and summery…I feel like I’m in Europe whenever I wear them.” Lauryn said, whilst discussing the new line with Envision, “The look is divine, simple yet edgy…casual yet still exhibiting a touch of flair.”

LauKy is certainly an Australian label on the highway to success, so keep an eye out for more luxurious and remarkable designs from Lauky.

Fortune’s FoolFounded in Australia the unisex label Fortune’s Fool is from

designers Shay Carthew and Lior Abrahami launching in

2007. With a line of drapped tops, sleek cut bottoms, and

flowing layers, if you’re looking to stand out from the masses,

Fortune’s Fool has some pieces for you. Abrahami compliments

the perfected balance of artistry produced by Carthew with

the formality of strong lines, tailored shaping and clean

cuts. Fortune’s Fool is proving itself to be a ‘must have’.

Chronicles of NeverSpawned of the creative talent of collaborative Ksubi

founder, Gareth Moody, it’s little wonder that Chronicles

of Never’s latest collection is full of awe-inspiring enigma.

‘Blind Silence Audible Vision,’ Chronicle’s offering for S/S

09-10 brings together mythology and science fiction in a

cacophony of the label’s signature layers. Key pieces from

the collection include leather pants, oversized, slouchy white

tees and light, deconstructed coats. Chronicles of Never

are arguably the epiphany of Australian street fashion.

Check out www.chroniclesofnever.com

Ground ZeroUK founders Eri and Philip Chu. They do an amazing job mixing

simple screen printed t-shirts and sweatshirts, and elaborate

high fashion inspired pieces. In their fall/winter 09 collection “We

need...”, Ground Zero draws a parallel between the two everyday

necessities: groceries and fashion. As if doing their shipping

along the supermarket aisles. Eri and Philip Chu put thogether

an array of elements into their design cart. “We need...” plays

with strong graphics, drippy shapes and layering along with a

touch of urbanity. One should expect military details on a trench

coat with sunkist logos and a t-shirt in a tuxedo silhouette.

House of EZISBrisbane’s EZIS caters to a progressive individual audience.

Andrzej’s shows his perfected technique, clean style

and beautifully created pieces, EZIS presents itself as

an extension of Andrzej’s modern tailoring techniques.

styles, EZIS defines itself with a unique architectural edge,

aggressively mixing fluid volumes with sharp elements.
