If you're party-less

..you can link roll your night away, starting from here.

1. No, seriously?! Who's ready for Gareth Pugh working on Dior Homme? I think Pugh's great, but Dior Homme should've just stopped after Hedi Slimane. Though that didn't happen, it looks as if it did (if you know what I'm getting at).

"Dior Homme's Leadership" - by plussixfive




2. Just as we were talking about the legend - Hedi Slimane, here's his new photography work. His subject is another person on my list of favourites. It's Lindsay Lohan. Steam.




visit Hedi Slimane's site for more.



3. Lastly + Lustly, I've been wanting a pair of sneakers for a while too long. This is clearly off the budget, but looking is f-r-e-e! Available at Front Row, Ann Siang Hill (Singapore).

10 Design Commandments by Dieter Rams

Dieter Rams is a German Industrial Designer, born in the early '30s, who made Braun products come alive. He is known for implying this german phrase in his work - "Weniger, aber besser", which loosely translates to "Less, but better". According to wikipedia, it is speculated that Jonathan Ive (Designer of Apple Inc.) is influenced by Rams' work.



Good design is innovative
Good design makes a product useful
Good design is aesthetic
Good design helps a product to be understood
Good design is unobtrusive
Good design is honest
Good design is durable
Good design is thorough to the last detail
Good design is concerned with the environment
Good design is as little design as possible

He did it to cheer the Londoners up admist the doom + gloom. As he aptly says it, "..even for a fleeting moment."







I think its' quite guerrilla and well, it puts a smile on everyone's faces! It's made from helium, soap and vegetable dye. He surely looked into every aspect of this project!

Hopefully!

This blog I stumbled onto, is what I'm hoping to create here. Of course, my laziness is a distinctive obstacle.. that I'll hopefully overcome. (Yes! I will!)








Double Takes [http://www.doubletakesblog.com]

When Paths Get Jumbled.

Sometimes when artists try to transpose certain meanings and attempt to display it in a gender-bending manner, it can look slightly awkward.

But I just spotted these and they're aptly tasteful in the execution of displaying contrast.
