Proenza Schouler
New York Fashion Week is in full stride and I must say Proenza Schouler’s textiles strike me with an awe powerful punch. Demure shades and sheen surfaces find each other well in a melodic Fall 2011 collection. Watch the show here These bags are not in the budget of a girl like me or most of the population in the world; however, its ok to dream, and keep an eye out for similar items at thrifts and at the cheapies. These are also their bracelet available for purchase. Great inspiration for your own creations.

3D Glasses for Home and Events
Form and Function Vista 3D Glasses 3D has become influential in the entertainment industry through Cinema, Television and Gaming. Vista provides unique, vibrant and personalized eye wear to this industry internationally. Vista jumped on a niche market with a fast response to the growing need for private in home 3D accessories. A variety of colors is a nice start but I would love to see these guys innovate frame sizes and shapes. What about customization for fans and theme parties? Imagine having a 3D watching party for your favorite event or program…why not hand out ‘branded’ Vista glasses? This can be a useful tool for event managers, promoters and producers who have any contact with 3D. Looking forward to seeing more out of Vista. VISTA MIMOSOPOP on the road…

Xmaucka
So I guess I should properly introduce myself, as I have been rather rude, up until now. My name is Sophie the sack maker. The name comes from the fact I am an accessories designer, mixed with my Grandpa’s surname Sachs (as it links nicely but also he was an accessories maker and designer, so it’s all linked up nicely)

Obsession is not a perfume by Calvin Klein, it’s a store in Paris called L’eclaireur
I must say I am a fan of a concept store. I believe my first memorable experience of this was Dover street market, London; when I was sent there to do a competitive shop by my, then, tutor Jane Sturgess. As soon as I enter I felt at home in some odd way, I guess this must have been the taxidermy, they have wonderful specimens. But it was also other elements, the layout, the spacing of colours, designs and wares. It excited me. This much like the excitement I have for L’eclaireur!

Exit Through The Gift Shop – A Banksy Film
Banksy has pranked the world with his Street Art disaster movie. I was fooled so badly that I went and saw it twice just to be sure that I was getting the full experience! Seriously though, it was a really nice film. An exploration of the urban side of high art, Banksy conceives a world where the common man is able to not only enjoy art and artists at their highest form but is also able to become part of the piece itself. When the common man chooses to expose himself to the history of humanity remembered through an medium there is normally also a choice which medium is selected. The visual arts: painting, sculpture, prints, photography really do pale in comparison to film. Moving pictures will always be our greatest weakness.

La mar de Tabaco
Lamarde is a simply thoughtful space dedicated to smoking. Clicking though the Gallery I am puffed back in time when smoking was not cool but expected and celebrated. It was good for your health, doctors and pregnant women smoked and the tobacco companies didn’t yet know that it was addictive so they were actively fighting for your business. Boxes of cigarettes were all drawn in technicolor with stark typography, national pride and an elusive wisp of smoke. If the graphic design doesn’t do it for you check out Lamarde’s YouTube channel. This gem from MadMen is on there:
