Stephen Todd

Creative Director, concept+image

As Creative Director of Paris-based agency concept+image, Stephen Todd develops innovative branding and communication projects for an international list of fashion and lifestyle clients.

"The Japanese mega-marque's site has one fabulously quirky feature: the calendar, which is a quicktime visual feast of everyday activities happening all across Japan, rendered incredibly compelling by colour and speed -- two key components of the brand itself."

"Because why wait six months for a hard copy when you can get daily updates on what's hot from the coolest kids in the Netherlands. Okay, so it's still worth waiting six months for the paper copy to appear, too."

"With China projected to have 65 million potential luxury consumers by 2020 and set to be the world's largest single luxury market by 2015, the Jing Daily report is an essential morning read for me, as concept+image actively expands into China."

"A perennial contender for most creative, innovative, and sometimes just plain bonkers websites around. Nick Knight's showstudio manages to assemble some of the world's most precocious talents in configurations you would not expect, or see, elsewhere. RIP Knight's frequent and perhaps most challenging collaborator, Alexander McQueen."

"Because sometimes when all the bright lights, sexy clothes, pretty boys and girls, fabulous locations and clever marketing strategies seem to be taking over your world, it's good to get out of your comfort zone. Terence Koh aka asianpunkboy takes me where I would not normally go. And I come back challenged, invigorated and inspired."
