JAMES OSTRER’S SWEET HALLOWEEN

Warning: Slight Nudity First of all, Happy Halloween to my fellow eco-feroshas! In the spirit of Halloween, I have decided to share with you guys a photographer that I came across just a month ago where he uses sugary food and junk food as a medium to transform his subjects. Maybe not so much of […]

RESURRECTION AND REINVENTION

Cover Image: Evening bomber jacket cut from embroidered Chinese jacket (c.1920); sequinned men’s trousers; silk organdy veil; metal twill Tabi ankle boots So while researching about Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal Fall 2014 show which I blogged about in my previous post, I came across this set of images by photographer Lorenzo Vitturi. I won’t go into the itsy bitsy […]

“TO REUSE, RECYCLE AND REINVENT.”

Cover Image: Collage by HART + LËSHKINA “To reuse, recycle and reinvent.”  As common as this statement might sound. If it is coming out from the mission statement of Maison Martin Margiela (MMM), it has to mean something right. Indeed, at its 5th couture showing under the official haute couture schedule held in Paris, MMM did just that. By […]

MAAIKE FRANSEN SPRING/SUMMER 2015

Inspired by everyday objects and materials, Maaike Fransen transforms her collection into out of this world creations with a little touch of humour. This almost absurd yet functional collection features models wearing stories/ memories of Fransen’s. Not forgetting about her detail works in the collection, I particularly love the fork appliqué on a oversized top. Its whimsy, […]

ICELANDIC BEAUTY

Iceland is more than just Bjork and Sigur Ros, this little island country boosts one of the most spectacular landscapes around the world. Glacial rivers like these freezes into ethereal patterns of the surrealistic beauty of nature and it’s Russian photographer Andre Ermolaev who manages to capture these beauty from the skies. Simply breathtaking. \

Made in China

Ai Weiwei is a prolific Chinese artist who creates controversial works in regards to the politics and sadly, he is pursued by the Chinese government for his remarks. Now, he exhibits and showcases his works outside of China but still addresses the issues of his homeland. His recent work titled “Stacked” is currently exhibiting in […]

PAPERCUTS

as a visual communication student, i’m constantly dealing with paper stocks and its not uncommon for me to get papercuts which i hate with a vengeance. like a sneaky ninja, papercuts strikes when you’re not watching. the damage will only be realised when you’re in the shower and it hurts. the beautiful pictures titled Papercuts, […]

family jewels

Denise Reytan could be the only jewellery designer i have seen that has placed so much effort and creativity through her design process. the story in every jewllery does not require a very complicated plot nor it requires fluffy vocabulary or words. but all it requires is chemistry and soul which i think Reytan has […]

ART-er rubbish 2

i’m sure everyone is familiar with the kryptonite. yes the dreaded crystal superman will pee in his underwear for. or if you’re more ferosh, you should know about the Chanel fashion show for Paris fashion week where gigantic purple crystals graced the runway. what makes these 2 crystals coming from very different background so captivating? […]

ART-ter rubbish.

Austrian artist Christian Grillitsch is doing “Velodrawings,” which is a hybrid of controlled chance. His tool is not a brush, pen, pencil or anything conventional but rather his handy BMX bike. Oh yes we have seen many delinquents (i mean active teenagers) partaking in extremely skilled stunts at parks but i personally do not see the connection […]

GaryCard’s appetite

GaryCard has done it again. previously featured on our site here, GaryCard challenged himself to create dynamic styling and art direction for the editorial titled ‘Salad Days’ for T Magazine with Richard Burbridge and Robbie Spencer. Using only salad ingredients such as seafood, meat, noodles and vegetables. He sure knows how to whet my appetite. […]

sentimental seat

Tokujin Yoshioka‘s design, memory, for Moroso was presented at the Milan week 2010. the series of memory chairs is extremely poetic. the design being almost non-design, is simple yet unlimited in its forms. with a fabric constructed out of recycled aluminum, the chair is soft, and its shape forms as one sits and sculpts it into […]

recyclAnglo

when i saw this image of a camera made out of paper, i thought to myself – neat, but nothing really exciting there, looks like something that you can get at a high end, (pseudo) English stationery/gift shop, a fancy with a map print. then i clicked on the link and it brought me to […]

doom with a view

American photographer, environmental activist, and co-founder and director of the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, NY, J Henry Fair took a series of large-scale aerial photos that capture the global warming process, environmental pollution, and habitat destruction titled Industrial Scars. the documentary photographs range from painting-esque abstract to the realistic and explicitly-in-your-face. while i personally […]
