Technology + Graffiti?


The Graffiti Research Laboratory have invented like true pioneers a laser/projector combination for graffiti-ers the world over. The rituals remain the same but less fumes means its 'greener' and no one has to clean it up, but still allows a chanel for the often imaginative and original art work.
Say bye bye to spray cans. Say hello urban communication for the 21st Century.

Visionaire 56 Solar Issue

HOW DO THEY DO IT????
The new issue of Visionaire Magazine takes advantage of our natural resources rather than the usual technology to make a really cool interactive magazine. Leading the way in using solar power in media forms, good for the world, fun for reader.
The entirely black and white issue busts into colour and life when viewed with direct sunlight.

Reminded me of those paint book from my childhood. when you put water on the page all the colours come out and paints itself. Time to bring those back, recession art, all you need is water.

Kelsy Genna


Kelsy Genna.




Designer from New Zealand making a name for herself via the means of Etsy. An amazing cocktail of polka dots, candy stripes, floral's, bows and lace. Her dresses are just the right amount of girlie charm perfect for tea parties or in my case, 21st birthdays.
The girl herself is just as charming as her dresses and is clearly dedicated to her business. She pay close attention to even the smallest detailing, right down to the brown paper packaging sprinkles with a large dose of confetti and a wand on the inside. Absolute Perfection.

Isnt He Clever?


On my cultural vulture inspired trip to London, I visited the Design Museum to see the new Hussein Chalayan exhibition.


Its HAamazing with a lot of people never ridding the confused/awed looks off their faces. If you're free between now and the 24th of April, I suggest you have a butchers for yourself.


Although I had heard and seen a lot about this gentleman's work, I was amazed to learn of the experimentation and imagination he incorporates into his designs. Having established his own label just a year after graduating in 1993 from St.Martins, he is an inspiration to all under grads who are always reminded about the competitive business that is fashion.. Highlights include the dress made up of LED lights, the 'laser' dress and the wallpaper dress.


The presentation of the event is as amazing as the clothes and the concepts. The typography through to aeroplane wings reflect the futuristic themes of the exhibition. AND everyone gets a nice little booklet to page through as you make your way around that you get to keep as a reminder of the work you've seen. yay. (I'm ALL about the freebies)


to sum it all up. HAamazing. AND a good place to people watch, there you go. 2 very good reasons to check it out: http://www.designmuseum.org/exhibitions/2009/hussein-chalayan p.s for those of you that are students, take the blessing that is the student card to get a discount entry fee.whoo.
