‘Do you like having fun? Fun is Number #1’

Misha Hollenbach (Perks) and Shauna Toohey (Mini)

Misha Hollenbach (Perks) and Shauna Toohey (Mini) interview one another about their joyful, psychedelic approach to clothes, collaboration, and what’s at the heart of P.A.M. Drawing inspiration from the chaos of nature and the electricity of fellow artists, their work shines a light on the people, the music and the creative culture they celebrate.

Beautiful Freak in the Machine

This is a series of five short films telling stories of fashion, freedom and self-expression. Trailblazers share stories of personal bests and creative processes, colliding with layers of imagery from their bodies of work. These short films are for style fans and pop culture geeks, celebrating the outliers, the misfits and the spirit of creativity.
