David LaChapelle’s bold, provocative photography called for a website with enough personality to complement it without competing with it. Oversized navigation and typography give the interface its own presence, while the rest of the site remains deliberately minimal.
Image-based submenus and animated navigation extend that visual language, creating a distinctive framework for the work.
