THE SCOOP #8
1:57 PM
In this week’s edition we take a look at the Oscars-themed Farmers Insurance campaign, Palm Springs’ Modernism Week (as exemplified by the West Elm House), and the McCafe answer to hipster coffee houses. We also check out Gap’s 90s throwback campaign announcing their reissue of iconic items, and explore the continued merging of the fashion and tech worlds with London College of Fashion’s recent foray into AR & VR.
West Elm has taken advantage of Palm Springs' Modernism Week—a celebration of midcentury design and architecture throughout the city—to stage a house-as-showroom using items from their catalogue. Learn more about Modernism Week, and The West Elm House.
Tired of over-the-top coffee shops? A new U.K. McDonald’s spot advertising McCafe coffee takes good-natured aim at the culture of hipster and high-end specialty coffee shops, highlighting the brand's quick and simple service. See the spot here.
