It can be difficult to imagine how cities looked a century ago. Things are changing so fast that it’s easy to see the differences even from a few decades ago, but this footage will bring you the idea of New York City at the beginning of the 20th century a little bit closer.

Video editor Denis Shiryaev colorized and edited the video that Guy Jones of Svenska Biografteatern restored using original footage show us the reality of New York City in 1911. “Restored with neural networks 1911 New York footage taken by the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern on a trip to America,” Shiryaev wrote along with the video he published on Youtube. The changes he made include: “FPS boosted to 60 frames per second, image resolution boosted up to 4k, Rresorted video sharpness, colorized…”

See the video below and also check out Guy Jones’ video underneath it.

It’s hard to break out in the fashion industry, but sometimes something as simple as an Instagram post is all you need. Just ask Tomo Koizumi. The 30-year-old fashion designer from Japan has been interested in fashion ever since he was 14-years-old, but he was never formally trained.

Fashion design was just a hobby and he started designing dresses for his friends in his twenties. A first, he designed form-fitting dresses, but about three years ago he changed direction completely. Instead of tight little dresses, Koizumi started using Japanese polyester to create big, ruffled, colorful dresses.

His unique dresses started getting attention from the fashion world, and Lady Gaga even wore one of his dresses. But it wasn’t until Sara Maino, an editor at Italian Vogue, spotted him that things really blew up.

Maino saw a photo of one of Koizumi’s dresses online and posted it on her Instagram page. Koizumi started getting offers from lead designers and stylists, and eventually organized his own fashion show! Today, he’s one of the hottest names in the industry: he’s been to the New York fashion week, opened his own store and is accepting commissions. And all thanks to one IG post!

Hanksy has been a popular name in the New York City urban culture since 2011, when the incognito street artist superimposed Tom Hank’s face on wheatpaste in NYC’s NoLlta neighborhood. The artist’s name and street art are both inspired by Banksy, as he has been producing similarly humorous, playful and punny work to subvert pop culture and politics, troll personality-cults, and express the unique urban life and culture in America.

In 2016, Hanksy came out of the dark, or at least shifted under a new light, and under the artist’s other name – Adam Lucas. Lucas’ work is both on the streets and off the streets, but is always inspired by them. His use of brazen yet elegant color chords, somewhat cubist influences, mixed media by layering images, text, and designs, and ever-present references to contemporary culture, make his style recognizable throughout his path between realms.

His work, in both style and content, always seems to vibrate with the sound of the city and reflect its multi-cultural spirit, from niche underground scenes to subjects that weigh heavy on its population. With inventive designs and rich subtext, Lucas’ work shapes the cultural zeitgeist of the streets of NYC.

Check out some of his work.

Architecture student Hossam Mohamed drew an image of New York City in such incredible detail.

It took him 10 months to complete this intricate work on 70 * 100 cm paper. Hossam started to draw only 2 years ago but he is a brilliant teacher already. He learned the principles of architecture and two-point perspective drawing on his own.

His dreams are to finish his graduate studies in Italy, to be recognized, and to work in a big studio.
