VEVED & BADLNDS
This page will set as the ‘definition’ for most of our projects, given that almost all of them have some sort of meaning, intent and undertone. Because it was never about the clothes, but always about the creativity and intention based approaches to art & design.
VEVED "vivid" or VVD is our main brand alias that everything releases under. While BADLNDS “badlands" is an affiliated alias that is connected to our other work which can sometimes be for other brands as well, such as our music, photography, and editing, (as well as many other things) to come..Like stunts, & set design.
01
CENSOR BAR
This is not just a video about my top design, nor promo- the theme is instead my emphasis of the meaning behind it.
And I also wanna say this is also not just a video either. It is a medium, both directly & subliminally correlating to the overall “simple” approach of my design.
(These are not my original clips, however they were sourced, edited & repackaged in my own vision).
The title ‘Philautia’ is an ode to the video and intent behind my design.
The term means “self love” & compassionate self regard. Which my design and this video is a sentiment to- rather than the theme of suggestive sexual connotation which can be perceived depending on the viewer.

BOMB TRAVEL BAG
A simple reminder of the reality we’re currently living in. Where I can pickup my phone & see someone dying from war on any given day…As if it were normal… So much so that even though I’ve never seen something as such- I’m almost desensitized to the almost casual occurrence online…
& given that we are all connected to some extent, I believe I may not be the only one that feels this way.
So with this piece, I planned to make it as detailed as possible. Then, bring it out in public. Places like a train, or even an airport. Wherever i can bring it, to shock or bring notice to comfortable people that may have lost their empathy or, have been desensitized themselves to crazy media and instances as such. Almost like a performance art.
03
“IM GOOD”
Our theme, and almost mantra- while there is so many things under the brand that we’d be doing I always wanted any of our work to be identifiable, sort of like a logo- its much easier to remember repetition. Especially with sounds. So with all of our video work, it most likely has this sound.

“FOR THE LOVE OF VVD"
One of the very early projects. A series of photos deeply inspired by night & city life. It still, is a foreshadowing of where we want to head. Highlighting those sorts of scenes, and eventually creating our own.
