RIO DE JANEIRO SPADER SHOOT

Part of the Spader team was in South America over the last few weeks and squeezed in a photo shoot during the Carnival maddness. The shoot was located in the beautiful area of Urca in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil! For those who have been to Rio this is right next to the Sugar Loaf. The day started off with the models getting there hair and make up done by Raphael Senna who is one of Brazil's best make up artists. Our models were Esther Dias (Brazilian Actress) who recently starred in the t.v series Malhacao and Rio De Janeiro model Karen Ribeiro. We had a lot of fun doing the shoot which is reflected in the photos and will be putting the final images + video up shortly! Beijos.

RUSH TOP 5 FOR 2009

Rush is one of the three co founders/directors of Spader Clothing and we thought it was about time you got to know the guys behind the brand a little more. Here are Rush's top 5 moments for 09.



1. 12 month anniversary for Spader:
My number one moment for the year is celebrating how far we have come in the first 12 months since selling Spader to the public. We have achieved so much in this short amount of time from: selling out in Globalize 5 times in 8 weeks, photo shoots and videos in LA, Brazil and New York, having DJ’s, actors, athletes, models & dancers wear the gear on T.V, at gigs, in photo shoots, people ordering Spader from Germany, Italy, UK, Canada, Brazil, USA, NZ and most importantly hearing all the crazy feedback that customers get from wearing the gear in all parts of the world. I really want to thank everyone who has supported us since day one, this couldn’t have happened without you guys! 2010 is going to be a big year!



2. Viva Brazil:
I ventured over to South America for the first time and had the pleasure of staying in Rio for two weeks. This was hands down the best time of my life! I have many stories to tell but one of the highlights was going to a Flamengo soccer game with 90,000+ people. You can’t describe the vibe and emotion amongst the locals, I left the stadium feeling very Brazilian that day ☺.



3. Venice Beach & Santa Monica photo shoot:
A lot of work goes into organising a photo shoot especially when you’re in another country doing it by yourself. You have to call on a lot of favours and hope that things work out the way you envisioned, however this is not always the case! At one stage it didn’t look like the shoot would happen when 3 female models pulled out at the last minute leaving me with no back up plan. We then got stuck in peak hour LA traffic on the way to Venice Beach missing prime time light. Nonetheless it turned out for the best as we walked up and down the beach finding some great locations and I’ve got to give a shout out to Young Murph & Cordele Taylor for there time and patience, these two guys did an amazing job. Photographer, Jorge Peniche captured some brilliant images for Spaders first international photo shoot, great feeling!



4. Michael Jackson memorial:
At age 10 you could catch me in the kitchen practicing my moon walk to "Billy Jean" or "Dirty Diana". As a DJ I still get excited every time I play an MJ song because it gets EVERYONE dancing and brings so much joy to people. When I found out I was going to be in LA during his memorial service there was no way I could miss it. I didn't get a ticket into the official service at the Staple Centre but was still amongst the action a few streets back with camera crews, photographers, reporters, MJ impersonators, fans and the usual LA freaks. It was a very sad day but a truly amazing experience!

5. Welcome back Maxwell:
I've been a big fan of Maxwell ever since I stumbled over the track “Women’s Work”. There had been talk of him dropping a new album for quite some time and when it finally happened this year I was over the moon. “Pretty Wings” is without a doubt one of my favorite tracks from 2009.

RIO 2016

Viva Brazil!!

BRAZILIAN LOVE

Brazil seems to capture everyone's hearts after they spend time in this truly beautiful country which is exactly what happened to us when we recently visited Rio. So it was no surprise when reading about fashion photographer Mario Testino and his love for Rio De Janerio. If you haven't seen many images of Rio then we are sure some of Mario's below pics will ensure you get that plane ticket over there asap. If you would like to see more of Mario's work he just released a new book which can be found on his website on the below link.



Mario Testino is one of the world's most successful fashion and portrait photographers, whose images are noted for their freshness and intimacy. Peruvian by birth, Testino has been fascinated by Rio de Janeiro since his earliest summer vacations. "When I was 14, on holiday, and going from my house to the beach and seeing everyone walk everywhere in their tiny bathing suits—the girls and boys were so sexy and carefree and wild—I just could not believe it." This easy sensuality, sexual freedom and lust for life left a deep impression;



Testino has been going back ever since, for work and fun, passion and inspiration. Featuring candid shots of exquisite cariocas baring nubile flesh, including supermodel Gisele Bündchen, MARIO DE JANEIRO Testino captures the essence of this incomparably seductive city and its sultry citizens. From its breathtaking sunset panoramas, to the throbbing chaos of its world-famous carnival, this is Testino's love poem to the Brazilian metropolis that captured his teenage heart, and never let go.
