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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Plastic Bag by Ramin Bahrani Struggling with its immortality, a discarded plastic bag (voiced by Werner Herzog) ventures through the environmentally barren remains of America as it searches for its maker. So much life for this century old elusive character.
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. \
These raw and organic beauties are not just typical mass produced factory made commercial wares. Instead, they belong to the ingenious idea of one – Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Dave Hakkens. Started off as a sim…
It’s always nice to see young and upcoming designers being able to participate at trade shows especially one whom you admire and share similar design principles. theKANG is a extremely talen…
do you know that stereotypical moment where the action star runs away from an impending explosion and moments later, KABOOM! and glass shards just come in all directions? or that moment when the action star gets a glass bottle smash on the head and still manages to execute some karate chops. have you imagine how […]
yea i know this is rather late but i recently chanced upon this editorial titled “Paper Plates” in Vogue UK June 2012. i assume this editorial was conceptualised with the the recent Olympic games held in London in mind because of the different sports featured in it. however, that did not catch my attention. instead […]
back in the fifties when food packaging was a ‘pop’ and especially made famous by Andy Warhol was the campbell soup cans. well, Moschino thought the ‘pop’ should not just be made exclusively to the fifties, therefore their Menswear Spring/Summer 13 was in a Milanese Supermarket and with models (yeap you’re right) dressed in a […]

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 […]

one of the best eco houses i have seen. my personal favourite, the mosaic mirror bathroom and walls, bottle cork flooring and cattle bones accents. happy new year my fellow eco feroshas
if only i am living in a warehouse or the Taj Mahal, i would have scavenged, salvaged, make love to every pre loved furniture in the world. unfortunately, i live in a 4 room apartment in Buangkok and my room is quite small that i have to sleep like Mr Dracula. hanging from above. fortunately, the […]
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, […]
from the founders of one of my favourite sites – treehugger.com this is right up my alley. P.S. for some weird reason the new youtube makes the video on the site kinda wonky
found it among the many files revived from my dead hard drive. easy ingenious styling with trash. so easy even my unborn baby son can do it. so can you. Photography: Mark Pillai Styling: Bryan McMahon
i’ve been through 2 years of national service. in these 2 years, there was alot of tears, sweat, vulgarities and blood. but, one of my fondest memory was when me and my friend Alfri (who was a fashion graduate) created an army inspired fashion show for our company as part of recruits’ night. the entire […]
you know every halloween people on your facebook friends’ list will start posting photos of them in costumes, frolicking away. and its always that same old costume. super heroes, zombie nuns, angry birds, undead grandmother etc. same old same old. no one seems to be putting any effort in their costumes. until this. my friend […]
so as you all know, im currently in New Zealand and living like a cool kiwi. and we all know New Zealand is known for their kiwis (the fruit, the bird, the people), sheeps, lord of the rings, cows and rugby. and this video has pleasantly surprised me with the its humour towards littering. enjoy! […]
i’m developing a huge crush (pun intended) for Comme Des Garcons this Paris fashion week. i quote style.com‘s Jo-Ann Furniss saying ‘ “Crushing” was the answer.’ it seems like the collection itself was extracted from the recycling plant where all materials fuses and interact with each other. the crowns made with biscuit tins and parts of a […]
burlap is what’s hot for spring according to designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. just make sure you have lots of baby power on. helps with the itch. but on a serious note, these burlap pieces and the earrings (just look at them!) are sex. couldn’t find a better word to describe it. image credits: style.com
its a bats cave, a bird house, a garden and its 8 floors high.
i see electrical tape (or even the furry side of a velcro), paper dollies and telephone cords. don’t you just love fashion week? *edited i must be blind to have missed out on another great piece from this collection. LIKE OMG PLASTIC BOLTS AND NUTS?! comes in transparent one as well. *image credits: style.com
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 […]
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada S/S 2013. Agatha’s fashion can go a little crazy at times, not forgetting how Bruno (a character portrayed by Sacha Boran Cohen) actually managed to crash into one of her shows wearing a full velcro suit. definitely one of the most memorable fashion moment compared to Naomi Campbell’s fall during […]
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? […]
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 […]
