Marios Schwab's Feminist Beetles 2008-05-25 01:18:04 London designer Marios Schwab has an uncanny ability to find complexity in the most simplistic of design. For his fall 2008 collection, his inspiration came after reading a Victorian proto-feminist novel, The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Why then, might I ask, does each piece resemble a member of the Coleoptera family? (Unless, of course, Schwab was able to make the connection be

Pigs Don't Fly, But Everything Else Does 2008-05-23 04:49:23 If you're not a fan of hockey (which would put you in the majority) then you probably aren't aware of the "flying octopus" tradition practiced by the Detroit Redwings before the Stanley cup playoffs (which is now). I won't bore you with the slimy details, but I will give you a link to the video that shows Redwing fans slinging a dead octopus around a hockey arena.

There's No Place Like Home 2008-05-22 17:47:07 In a recent interview, actor Shia LaBeouf (of current Indiana Jones fame) revealed something interesting about his hippie mother's living arrangements. "She lives where trolls live in a magical forest called Angeles Crest Forest. She lives in a little person's house. The house was built by one of the little people who was in the Wizard of Oz."That, Shia, would make you a lollipop kid. Well, sort o Read more:Place
Am I Really What You Were Looking For? 2008-05-21 04:21:33 It has been awhile since I checked my site stats for Google searches. It's always interesting to see the myriad of word combinations [having nothing to do with my site] that bring unsuspecting Google searchers to my virtual front door. Here is a list of the best [and creepiest] combinations, along with my personal commentary and [in]appropriate links, of course. Note: These are actual screen shots
Jotaro Saito's Electric Kimonos 2008-05-21 03:14:54 In March of this year at the Adelaide Banks Festival of Arts in Australia, the city’s historic architectural icons were painted with light over a two week period. These 'electric canvases' (designed by the acclaimed artist group appropriately named The Electric
Canvas) featured a constantly changing array of perfect, jaw-dropping architectural projection, reflecting the heritage and function of
When Birds Die and Go To Fashion Heaven 2008-05-20 13:04:29 A recent post by The Coveted got me thinking about the use of taxidermy in fashion and art. Would I want to own something made from a deceased bird? No. Do the pieces bother me? A little. Am I against it? Not if they died a natural death. The choice to resurrect and preserve a creature that has passed on is really up to the person preserving it. If the designer can find beauty and inspiration in s Read more:Birds

"Octo" de la Renta 2008-05-19 14:40:27 Leave it to Oscar de la Renta to unknowingly pay homage to the cephalopod we've all come to know and love as the octopus. His 2009 Resort Collection was ripe with tentacle-esque ruffles, mottled prints, and billowing skirts that transformed the runway into a makeshift Caribbean coral reef. When asked about the collection, his response was, "It's a very happy collection." A very simple answer for s

You Are Seriously Starting To Bug Me 2008-05-18 18:40:13 I always get excited (probably too excited) when I see designs inspired by nature, especially insects. Earlier this year, I was floored by the beauty of Zac Posen's butterflies and "Beetle Mania" at London Fashion Week. But what happens when, instead of insect inspiration, the designs contain actual insect parts (like wings) or whole insects (like beetles, spiders, etc?) Before you answer, hold th Read more:Seriously
One Of The Lucky Few 2008-05-18 08:50:25 I have always been a sucker for limited edition pieces, especially when owning one-of-a-kind just isn't feasible (due to price) or possible (due to back luck!) There is something truly special about having one of only a handful of something -- especially in a world fraught with copies, fakes, and the seemingly unoriginal. Of course, you may end up paying a little extra to own something that hasn't

The Protégé Collection Has Me Humming 2008-05-18 03:23:13 Amidst the sea of tropical brights and gothy blacks, Kristian Aadnevik's designs for The Protégé Collection really stood out at Australia Fashion Week. Not just because he took bold design risks, but because his pieces reminded me of one of my favorite birds -- the Anna's Hummingbird.Male Anna's Hummingbirds (named after Anna Masséna, Duchess of Rivoli) are known for their pinkish-red shimmerin

Got Two Turntables And a Microphone 2008-05-16 03:01:50 Like many cool things from my childhood, the turntable has gone the way of the dinosaur. (Sure, there are audiophiles who still prefer vinyl records over digital music sources for their perceived fidelity, but they are in the minority.) When Grand Wizard Theodore pioneered 'scratching,' the turntable was forever relegated to sainthood, first by the Hip Hop community, then by anybody who could push
The Door Into The Fashion Blogosphere Is Narrow 2008-05-15 01:58:41 Yes, it's true that anyone with access to a computer and some Internet savvy can have a blog up and running in no time. But not all blogs are welcome, especially in the fashion and beauty blogosphere.
