The AIGA GAIN conference was recently held in New York, focusing on design in business. Malcolm Gladwell was one of the speakers there, discussing the development of creativity and the manifestation of genius:
“Genius and creativity don’t necessarily spring forth unbidden… they require time and support to experiment, to try and even fail.”
Luckily for us who [...]
Jo’s fresh new site Eye Heart Glasses is already locked and loaded as a favourite of mine. It’s a look at what’s cute, sexy and cool in the world of eye-wear. You should go check it out now! Jeepers, creepers, where did you get those peepers?
Here’s one of my recent favourite gal with glasses shots [...]
If you haven’t taken the time to peruse The Paris Review’s interview archives, please do so now. My favourite interviews include William Burroughs, John Irving, Joyce Carol Oates and Haruki Murakami ❤ … and that’s just the start of the list!
I find it particularly lovely that the Review includes snapshots of the author’s original manuscripts, [...]
I’ve been a fan of Keren Richter’s illustrations for ages! I kept up with all her latest developments on ye olde Livejournal - from her sassy work on Vans shoes to saucy animations. Her latest endeavor is a fun, nicely written blog. I particularly like the documentation of her bedroom and a run down of [...]
Perchance you haven’t skipped across to The Selby yet? Possibly you have missed the shouts of glee from across the internet as people exclaim over the latest in shelter porn? Prepare yourself for some serious envy then…
Todd Selby has been hooking up with all sorts of creative wunderkinds, then taking photographs that detail the [...]
The Ronson family takes on the Tenenbaums courtesy of Harper’s Bazaar. I think it’s brilliant and I only wish there were more pictures to look at!
If you haven’t already, take the time to watch Wes Anderson’s movies; they are screamingly neurotic. The Royal Tenenbaums caused me so much joy I called myself Margot for months [...]
When I’m on youtube, I never ever look at the featured videos. Usually they’re dumb faux-viral stuff but this little gem caught my eye! It’s Jerry Levitan’s ultimate Beatles story… he snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto at aged 14 and convinced John to do an interview about peace, recording it.
“Using the original [...]
Sadly, the talented Yves Saint Laurent has died, aged 71 in Paris. He did so much for fashion; while I never had the joy of owning any of his pieces (yet!), the perfume Cinema has given me many hours of olofactory hapiness. Cinebeats has a fine breakdown of his movie costuming work, while Brightstarlights has [...]
Milk Fed was founded in Japan, circa 1998 by the stylish and talented director Sofia Coppola and Stephanie Hayman. Reminiscent of Coppola’s Virgin Suicides characters, MilkFed is fun, quirky and eternally 17 years old.
The latest collection is a homage to California, as seen through the eyes of Japan - slightly twisted images that look ‘right’ [...]
