PunkMeTender for Kylie Jenner's Stormi collection

Inspired by the intersection of street art and high fashion, Punk Me Tender hones in on the deepest desires of human kind. Fashion forward, and female empowered – enigmatic street artist Punk Me Tender lets his female muses do all of the talking for him.

French native turned Angelino, Punk Me Tender lets his passion lead the way with all of his creative decisions. Each artwork begins with his original photography and is then altered and spun by a gritty street aesthetic. Lastly, the artwork is embellished with a fantastical finish that incorporates real exotic butterflies, silk flowers, and Swarovski crystals to push the artwork over the top. Desires and sexuality are ceased when the entire artwork is encased in Plexiglas, reminding the viewer that such extremes are just slightly out of reach.

PunkMeTender is also the new favorite artist for the Kardashian/Jenner family having been featured at Khloe Kardashian’s daughter’s 1st birthday and at the launch for Kylie Jenner’s makeup collection Stormi.

PRIVACY DIARIES ON HOUSE OF BARON

New mini-documentary series demand change in a step toward bringing privacy back around the globe. WATCH NOW ON YOUTUBE.
“On one side, you have the pressure that says if you’re not part of social media, you don’t exist. In my field as an actor, it’s really hard to say I’m going to be off Facebook or off of Instagram. You’re kind of forced to play the game, but at the same time, you know you have zero control over it” — said Neyssan Falahi, who works in the entertainment industry. “I’ve heard a lot of stories from friends of mine who got their identity stolen. It’s pretty scary. If something happens to you, who’d you ask for help? Is the police going to do something about it? Probably not” — the artist added.

Falahi is one of nearly thirty artists who have volunteered to share on camera what privacy means to them in their everyday lives and discuss the double-edged sword of giving up personal data to use free services for email, messaging, and social media. This is how a new mini-documentary series titled “Privacy Diaries” was created. The series, which was directed by Katharina Baron Kowalewski, highlights people’s biggest concerns surrounding lack of privacy and user control in today’s digital world.

During a time when loss of trust is at an all-time high, people everywhere are joining a worldwide movement in creating a global society connected by true privacy. Those who are interested in joining it can do so using the hashtag #bringingprivacyback.
