Interconnections


This painting is done by my brother and a little help from me about interconnections..I love it its so RETRO! The combination of colors and the interconnected circles makes this really unique!! So BC! (beautifully chaotic)

Problems to Solutions






Weird Solutions that hmm.. u might find it interestingly useful or not..These are made by Mimuun, a company that creates designs inspired by familiar objects and issues, and encourages people to think about the good of humanity.

1. Universal Toilet - a concept curving toilet, that allows wheelchair users and anyone else to slide forward directly onto the toilet. A separate chest board in-front of the sink is provided to lean in against instability.

2. Plug - when small ideas change life's habits, its a decorative plug as reminder to not waste, to save energy and safety. One of the easiest ways to prevent global warming is by removing unused plugs.

3. Measuring Towel -a more playful contra-concept of our digital world. To those of you who likes to measure yourselves after you have taken a shower and in hopes to bring self-confidence. A weird product.. Though I might not want to own one :/

4. T-Shirt - For pregnant women, made out of extra elastic material..As the belly grows bigger, the special symbol grows bigger too! A weird indication of the actual size of the baby.

5. Thermometer Light - When the light is turned on, it gives off heat. The hotter the light gets, the higher the red line goes up. The light of the the lamp turns red gradually. A symbol to think about global warming too.

Prints Charming































From Spanish born London-based Cristian Zuzunaga, comes this fresh visionary designs reflecting a new take on textile printing.
He bursted onto the art scene last year with a print for Royal College of Art (RCA) fashion graduate Peter Smith's collection, which stole the show. A year later, he got commissions from Moroso, Kvadrat, and Ligne Roset.
His prints are available to see during 100% design, 18-21 September at Ligne Roset's West End London store...
Having learnt from both fashion and interior designers, he prefers sitting on his fabric than wearing them. Oh and he does photography too! Now he's really BC..

A Serene Ballet of Innocent Disturbia in S/S 09















































Its London Fashion Week...Dreamy, soft, placid, innocently eccentric..
Silky fairytale layers with towering cork platforms at Charles Anastase. Ruffled chiffon blouse paired with a body-hugging pencil skirt at Graeme Black, vintage inspired colorful finesse at Ossie Clarks. What more than to pair it up with ruffled up louboutins shown at Phillip Lims Show.. Love? Hate? Its a ballet..you be the judge
