New Collection
KG&Co.The new collection from L.A. based company KG&Co. just landed at Storm. All limited edition pieces are made from .925 grade sterling silver & chains imported from Italy and completed by the best quality finishers in the trade with vermeil standards of 18k gold, rose gold and other anti allergy speciality finishes that ensure the quality maintained over time. Known for their beautiful pendants and high quality materials they stepped up their game introducing the blue sapphire PVD finish. This PVD finish is commonly used by Rolex and other fine watch manufacturers. It is a trade secret that uses proprietary techniques to tightly bond a substrate containing a combination of Carbon and Titanium. The process and coating uses a vacuum chamber which blasts the piece with a DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coating. Have a closer look at selected pieces online and visit our store in Copenhagen to see the full collection.

Scene by
Jeannette MontgomeryEveryone now knows how influential the downtown art scene was in New York in the 1980s and Jeannette Montgomery Barron was fortunate to be right in the thick of it all, close friends with many who became legends. Her portraits of Warhol, Basquiat, Haring, Schnabel, Clemente, and many others uniquely captured their personalities, and most importantly, the era. Montgomery Barron wasn't merely a journalist or outsider documenting this scene. The fact that she was good friends with so many of these creative people meant there was instant trust between subject and photographer, resulting in rich, revealing portraiture. Jeannette Montgomery Barron was born in 1956 in Atlanta Georgia and studied at the International Center of Photography in New York. She became known for her portraits of the New York art world in the 1980s, which were later published in Jeannette Montgomery Barron (Edition Bischofberger, Zurich, 1989). Have a closer look at the book here.

New York at Night: Photography after Dark
New York at Night: Photography after Dark, showcases images of New York City's legendary nightlife by the leading photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Joseph Byron and James Van Der Zee to Henri Cartier-Bresson, Diane Arbus, Elliott Erwitt, Larry Fink, and more. As diverse and complicated as the city itself, New York's nightlife is glamorous and grungy, lonely and dangerous, highbrow and lowbrow. These images are complimented by writing from some of New York's most respected contemporary authors, adding depth, context, and personal stories of their own experiences to those presented by the photographers. This engaging book captures the energy of the New York night and the city's evolving hotspots, building a history of how New Yorkers play after dark and how that helps make this city a cultural and entertainment powerhouse.

Street photographer
Vivian maierA good street photographer must possess many talents: an eye for detail, light, and composition; impeccable timing; a populist or humanitarian outlook; and a tireless ability to constantly shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot and never miss a moment. It is hard enough to find these qualities in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no formal training and no network of peers. Yet Vivian Maier is all of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the 1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide—from France to New York City, to Chicago and dozens of other countries—and yet showed the results to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images of all facets of city life in America’s post-war golden age. It wasn’t until realtor and amateur historian John Maloof stumbled upon a box of anonymous negatives in a Chicago auction house in 2007 that any of her marvelous work saw the light of day. Presented here for the first time in print,Vivian Maier: Street Photographer collects the first wave of the best of her incredible body of work—much of which still hasn’t been enlarged or in some case even developed into negatives. Hidden treasures like this don’t come along every day, and powerHouse is excited and honored to present this astounding body of never-before-seen work to the public at large. Buy the book here.

Common
AffairsCOMMON Affairs 2013 Spring/Summer. The creators behind COMMON Affairs, Saif Bakir and Emma Hedlund, present an inspiring and fresh SS13 collection. “It’s a fusion of London edge, Paris chic and Scandinavian minimalism,’ says Bakir.

But there’s more to the Swedish connection than just a sense of simplicity and minimalism; Common is all about domestic manufacturing. Offering a menswear collection 100% manufactured in Sweden, Common stands for unique design and the highest quality. Have a look at some of their newest pieces here.

Guy Bourdin
With the eye of a painter, Guy Bourdin created images that contained fascinating stories, compositions, and colours. Using fashion photography as his medium, he sent out his message, one that was difficult to decode, exploring the realms between the absurd and the sublime. Famed for his suggestive narratives and surreal aesthetics, he radically broke conventions of commercial photography with a relentless perfectionism, and sharp humour. This tome is a road trip through Bourdins visual landscape; a collage of images that maps his artistic search and vision. The texts, polaroids, poems, sketches and contact sheets unfold in real time through the memories of model Nicolle Meyer, a muse to Bourdin. Given total creative freedom, and with uncompromising artistic ethic, Guy Bourdin captured the imagination of a whole generation. The late 1970s, recognized as the highest note in his career, is the focal point of the work. This revisited edition, originally printed as two volumes, is the first monograph in a forthcoming set of eight books which explore the most outstanding and undiscovered work thus far. Guy Bourdin (1928-1991) was born in Paris. His career as a fashion photographer spans over three decades, shooting largely for Vogue Paris, as well as Harpers Bazaar, Chanel, Issey Miyake, Versace, Charles Jourdan, and Emanuel Ungaro. Today, his work is exhibited in the most prestigious museums, such as The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Jeu de Paume, and The National Museum of China, and his images have a cult-like following amongst the fashion set.

20 Years
KOMPAKTOn March 1st, 1993, KOMPAKT opened the blue doors on Gladbacher Straße 36 for the very first time and thus, a new record store was born. Two moves, a name change, almost exactly 500 publications and a staggering 20 years later, KOMPAKT is still here and stronger than ever. That's why throughout 2013, they will celebrate "20 YEARS OF KOMPAKT" in all shapes and colors, including this exciting jubilee 2-CD release jam-packed with floor favorites, towering chart-toppers and secret weapons from the rich history of one of Germany's most-loved labels. Carefully pulled from KOMPAKT's extensive archives, this first entry in the 20 JAHRE KOMPAKT KOLLEKTION series is in no way meant to be a "Best of": that would indeed be a task larger than life. Rather than just going through the motions and assembling sales numbers, they took a different road, simply compiling their proudest moments instead, classic records that defined their sound today. Consider each track in this selection an electronic masterpiece, regardless of whether it reached out for the floor like JUSTUS KÖHNCKE's AFTER 909 or catered to the home listening crowd like PLUXUS' TRANSIENT. The massive bangers included in KOLLEKTION 1 range from MATIAS AGUAYO's unmistakable bass slinger WALTER NEFF to the highly emotional Ravecore of REX THE DOG's PROTOTYPE, dropping in on VOIGT & VOIGT's timeless anthem VISION 03 or LAWRENCE's brilliant remix of SUPERPITCHER's legendary HAPPINESS. You'll hear rare goodies and underground hits such as MAYER/VOIGT's TRANSPARENZA or HEIKO VOSS' I THINK ABOUT YOU alongside long-standing contributors like THE FIELD, SCSI-9, KAITO and many, many more, making for an expertly crafted listening experience and an enticing trip to the past. All visitors, this way please! Buy the CD here!
