Five things we in the outdoor and active industry should probably, possibly think about stopping using imagery of. 1. Runners without a drop of sweat on them. Run model, Run! 2. Perfect beads of water on waterproof clothing. We’re in danger of sending the message that if your jacket stops beading then it’s knackered and not waterproof anymore, which isn’t true – and potentially leads to landfill. 3. Grumpy young people in cities for lifestyle ranges. Gen Z does smile. We’ve seen it. We know they can’t ever afford a house, and in the UK they have had their freedom of movement taken away, but, but, ah…..actually thinking about it, we understand. As you were. 4. Models who have evidently never done the activity they’re being photographed doing. The obviously terrified climber is the classic. (Extra marks for full make-up). In fairness, the worse offenders here are brands from outside the sector trying to grab a bit of ‘outdoor adrenaline’ to sell their mid price family estate cars. 5. The reflections of Lac Blanc. We know, it’s stunning. But shall we just leave it to the tourists for a couple of years? What locations do you think could probably do with taking a little break? #outdoorindustry #photographytips #outdoorbrands

Trips or journeys on foot lasting several days, mostly on paths, in mainly in mountainous areas not served by other communication routes. The sole is one of the most important elements of the trekking shoe, because it must be able to cushion impacts and stresses along the way as best as possible, but it must also ensure excellent grip, i.e. adequate adherence to the ground. The best ones are equipped with deep lugs and grooves, also ideal for muddy and sandy terrain. Reinforced hard rubber toe cap and heel to ward off any impacts. The lower models are more suitable for flat and uniform wooded terrain, while the higher models ensure that the foot moves as little as possible inside the boot, giving better protection to the ankle. The water resistance of the shoes will be affected by weather conditions. A waterproof membrane, such as Gore-Tex or similar, protects the foot from moisture, but makes the shoe less breathable. #andreanicolettodesign #outdoorshoes #footwearindustry #footweardesign #italiandesignstudio #shoedesign ******************************** 🌍 We have been designing best-selling OUTILITY shoes for 20 years. 🔥 We apply the AND METHOD to transform investment into high-performance revenue.

🔥 Canine Design: The Unexplored Opportunity in Retail 🐾 As a designer of products for dogs, I see an unexplored opportunity in retail. Dogs, our loyal companions, deserve more than simple collars or basic leashes. Silent, Powerful Demand: In many households, there are more dogs than children. They are an integral part of our lives, and their needs deserve attention. Why not offer them stylish and functional products? From ergonomic harnesses to orthopedic beds, the possibilities are plentiful. Design Without Borders: Imagine a section in your favorite store dedicated to products for active dogs and their owners. Design knows no bounds, and artistic directors can unleash their creativity. Branding with Pawprint: Nike, Adidas, Puma… Why not create exclusive lines for dogs? Pet owners are loyal and willing to invest in quality products. Imagine a Labrador in a high-tech Nike harness or a French Bulldog with a multifunctional Adidas leash designed for more comfortable urban walks, all with the brand's signature style. Shared Experience, Multiplied Sales: Stores could host launch events for new products for humans and dogs together. An event where everyone finds something special. Instagram photos would multiply, and the dog community would become an ambassador for your brand. In summary, it's time to open the doors of retail to our dogs. The global market for pet products is worth approximately €150 billion and is estimated to grow to €200 billion by 2025. It's time to give them a place in retail! 🛒🐕 - - - - - #weareknn #dogs #design #nike #adidas #puma #PetIndustry #PetBusiness #PetProducts #PetMarketing #Fashion #Retail

𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲: 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 Hey everyone! Woodland photography is stunning, but it can also be frustrating. Today, I want to explore why and what you can do about it. The Challenges: - Ever-changing light: dappled shadows and high contrast can be tricky. - Complex compositions: tons of elements make it hard to find a clear focus. - Fleeting moments: wildlife, wind, and shifting light demand quick reflexes. - Tough terrain: uneven ground, heavy gear, and remote locations test your stamina. - Unpredictable weather: be ready for sunshine, fog, or downpours! - Patience is key: nature moves slow, the perfect shot might take multiple visits. Tips to Tame the Wild: - Light: embrace the dappled effect, use bracketing for high contrast, or shoot during golden hour. - Composition: simplify, use leading lines, and explore different angles. - Moments: anticipate wildlife, use burst mode, and pre-configure camera settings. - Terrain: invest in light, durable gear, wear proper footwear, and scout locations beforehand. - Weather: monitor forecasts, pack rain gear, and be prepared for unique atmospheres. - Patience: accept multiple visits might be needed, relax, and enjoy the process. Embrace the Journey: Woodland photography is rewarding! The effort you put in makes the final shot even sweeter. What are your woodland photography challenges?

Does packing for a trip stress you out? It’s time to plan ahead and take the stress out of traveling!!! 👜🧳👜 If you missed yesterday’s post, look at my 5 keys for creating a travel capsule so you can pack with ease and know that you will look fabulous every day or your adventure. 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 Today we are focusing on tip #1: Choose two neutral colors to build your capsule around. My colors will change with the trips I am taking but since black and navy are “core” colors in my wardrobe, usually one of these colors is part of my capsule. For our trip to NYC, I chose black and dark wash denim for my 2 neutrals. On other trips I have chosen black and white, navy and white, and navy and wine for example. You will choose two colors that look great on you. 👍👍👍 We choose neutrals because they mix and match well together. They form a solid base for our wardrobe, and they are classic colors that are not trendy or fleeting. For a successful travel capsule, you will want at least two bottoms (one in each of your neutral colors), and two layering pieces in each neutral. These can be garments that you may want to wear more than one time, depending on the length of your trip. For my recent trip, I chose 3 bottoms and 3 layering garments. 🧳👜🧳 Starting with neutrals doesn’t mean that our travel capsule has to be boring. Tomorrow we will look at adding pops of color and pattern and how to do this wisely. 👠👠👠 If you would like to know more about your best colors and neutrals, then schedule a color analysis today! It will be the best investment you can make in yourself, your wardrobe, and your time! https://lnkd.in/eK_hUv8 #signaturecolor #coloranalysis #travelpacking #colorcoding #personalstylist #customcoloranalysis #TheArtistryofYou #imageconsultant #womenempoweringwomen #wardrobeconsultant
