colette gets together with Lomography to celebrate the International Womens Day with a collaboration on the Diana F+.

“Inspired by colette’s unique style and design, the Diana F+ colette edition was conceived by Lomography. Covered by colette’s trademark blue spots it hosts all features of the renowned Lomography Diana F+. Dating back to the early 1960s, the all-plastic Diana camera is a cult legend – famous for its dreamy, radiant, and lo-fi images.

The colette special edition is exclusively sold at colette, on colette.fr, Lomography.com and Lomography shops worldwide. It consists of the colette Diana F+ camera and the breathtaking book: “Dianalogues Part 1: Through a Woman’s Lens”. A collaborative project between colette and Lomography; this book is entirely created by artist contributions inspired by the theme “through a woman’s lens”. colette finely selected 10 women from all over the world to contribute their images and words to this project: Fafi (Paris), Tommy (Londres), Linlee Allen (Los Angeles), Daphné Bürki (Paris), Claw Money (New York), Feride Uslu (Berlin), Shauna T (Melbourne), Helena Ichbiah (Paris), Sophie Toporkoff (Paris) et Jenny Mannerheim (Paris).

Lomography complemented this excellent selection of highly interesting and creative female artists with 18 equally gifted Lomographers selected from a worldwide online competition held at lomography.com. The outcome is “Dianalogues Part 1: Through a woman’s lens”: 144 pages of exclusive female perspectives coming from 28 artists, 12 countries and 4 continents!”

The colette x Lomography Diana F+ camera and book will be released on March 2nd in store and on March 9th online.

Not long ago we reported about the work of Chinese contemporary artist Dorophy Tang and her work for Adidas. After previously also working with Medicom on a 1000% charity Bearbrick, the artist has now gotten together with Lomography to give the Diana+ her own special look.
"Dorophy Tang is a Chinese designer/illustrator whose work mixes traditional Chinese style influences and vintage elements. She has just worked with camera makers Lomography on their Diana+ model. A very cool film camera, the Diana+ features a plastic lens that produces dreamlike photography with adjustable aperture for shooting wide angle imagery at a very low cost. The intricate designs on the camera are quite similar with the work she did for Adidas, undoubtedly her best known work." Via Wickedhalo.
