Director Eden Tyler Launches LOOKER

Director Eden Tyler (photo above), known primarily for his work on fashion and beauty projects, has “teamed up with a roster of directors and integrated production resources” to launch LOOKER, a New York and Los Angeles-based production company specializing in beauty, fashion, celebrity and lifestyle content.

Before founding LOOKER, Tyler was with Original Films and Great Guns. He is known for “his beauty, real people and storytelling work” for brands including Johnson & Johnson’s Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, and Unilever’s Ponds. Tyler is joined by Paris and Los Angeles-based fashion and beauty director Jonathan Lennard and “avant-garde visual and musical impresario” Charlie Wan. The LOOKER directorial roster also features Andrew Kuykendall and Sean Hagwell. LOOKER seeks to position itself as “a key integrated production partner for agencies and brands,” while offering “a strong foundation in production and post production capabilities via its relationships with MAKE…and The Station.” Stick around after the jump for a sample of Eden Tyler’s recent work.

HUSH Designs Web Experience for Aerin Fragrances

Brooklyn-based design agency HUSH, who recently created the ambitious “Beauty of Night” for Estée Lauder, crafted an interactive web experience for lifestyle brand Aerin’s expansion into fragrances.

The website invites users to explore videos of the fragrances and the way each of the fragrances was sparked from Aerin Lauder‘s memories and experiences. The longest of these, at 1:30, is the above introduction to the fragrance line, explaining the importance of fragrances in Aerin’s life and exploring the evocative nature of scent and its ability to transport people in time and space. It’s a well-produced vignette that introduces both the line’s philosophy and the individual fragrances, even if it’s pretty much what you’d expect for a fragrance line. Other videos on the site briefly examine the individual fragrances and their ingredients.

More out of the ordinary is that site users can create their own packaging or monograms, using images of berries, flowers, and other fragrance ingredients, and share them on social media for a chance to win $3,500 worth of Aerin products.

“We took a simple and elegant approach to exploring the world of fragrance. It can be a science-heavy subject, but driven by artistry and craft – in the same way that wine and food are both art and science,” explains HUSH creative partner David Schwarz. “We were interested in the artistic, emotional story behind these creations and gave consumers the opportunity to engage on multiple levels.” Stay tuned for credits after the jump.
