Iris Van Herpen

This is the first time I feature the incredibly talented Iris Van Herpen, but through my career she has become one of my favorite designers and lends me a great deal of visual inspiration, She just makes me feel terrible frustrated in every one of  her collection.

Complex designs, a mix between couture, puzzle, technology, craft, art…. very far from fashion…. Fashion and trend I think are word that goes together. She is an sculptor, pieces that are designed for them self, not to dress a person. And only trying to see mentally the way she works makes me have a headache!

I want to show you here her SS11 couture collection which was inspired by digital technology. Where there is headgear made of computer and music parts, such as speakers and computer air conditioning units, designed by the historical millinery designer Stephen Jones, to top off this futuristic collection.

Whilst everything does look very digitised, to me, it also looks extremely organic, like if the same HR Giger had collaborate with them also.

C’mon! Is impossible haven’t get a bit shock with this pieces!

Always trying to surprise you

Hard Horse Hair

2weeks_4

Bitching & Junkfood Two Weeks SS11 collection 1

 

Hair was always a very intriguing material for design. Hair is our first identificative card, we always remember or decribe a person for his hair. On our body is also something very sexual, but as soon we cut it becomes something dirty, rubbish, something death, a personal taxidermy object.

Bitching and Junkfood girls create a very wearable and slightly macabre s11 collection of fashion accessories with hair, as feathers and leather…. This Collection called Week Two, has nothing we haven’t seen before, but still good to know that is not an art piece and you can get one.

Re-opening the new blog….

just to keep me update in anything related with general culture or design for two reasonable facts: I need to understand new trend and I need to connect somehow with my real world, on the other side of the planet….I live in Dhaka now, and today I meet the first person in thins world that didn’t know anything about the Beatles…I hope you like it and you can collaborate also with some entries.
Best.

Anaesteticly Pleasing Shoes


 

This is the collection for her graduation from a design student, Gwendolyn Huskers, studying at the Design Acedemy in Eindhoven (the Netherlands). She presented a set of six shoes called ‘medic esthetic’. These shoes were aiming to reveal the taboos associated with physical deformities, her collection of cream and skin-toned footwear for women is made from medical materials and supplies such as plaster bandages, steel and band-aids. Remember me this collection from David Delfin… but anyway, I love them, the looks so fashionable ^_^

Some inspirational eco designs

The eco Fashion Buzzines and Walter Raes


The "Eco-Fashion", like all the fashions and trends in this world, comes from an "event". For example, the film "Moulin Rouge" brings all this corsets to the high street stores, and the past Olympics Games in China the oriental style, the origami and the "Chinese essence shampoo"… and the eco-fashion was the result of the global warming. So now we have some designers trying to use rest of garment (before rubbish) and organic materials. But it this really going to change something? Nobody see that the problem is how fast the trends changes today, how the high street industry is changing their stock in their shops and producing mountains of rubbish. I personally vote for the second hand and with the money I economize I will buy few quality and designers garments. No to the High street, no to Primark, no to Heat and Look magazine… The only thing I would like to believe is in the Fair trade, but even that become a business and is ridiculous the money the ask for use their logo for the services they give.

After all of this I will like to show you the inspirational work of Walter Raes, one of this this artist who use the eco/recuperation in his designs. Is true that we always try to  make wearable art – but Walter Raes does it ingeniusly.

Peliculas que debes ver antes de morir :parte 4

Films You Must See Before You Die: Part 4
Sorry for didn’t write so much and so often on the blog after this summer, I’m very busy with my last year in the uni… But I have a present; I’m very pleased for all the visits I have everyday (more than 200 per day),  and all the letters I have from you. Today I’m going to leave you another chapter of "films you must see before you die"… They are more than great films, all of them are a genx love fest and they made me feel better than any movie I have ever seen.
 
Napoleon Dynamite


 
 
 
Persepolis


Sean Penn and Iggy Pop colaborate with the North American version of this French animated political drama Persepolis. The film is based on the comic Persepolis and Persepolis 2, Persepolis is an autobiographical novels by Iranian author Marjane Satrapi. Is about the strugle life of the iranian Marjane, who live in Iran during the Islamic Revolution at a time where women are forced to wear veils and people are living in fear of government persecution.

Is easy to be on the skin of this young girl when you se how she discovers music — particularly punk rock, ABBA, and Iron Maiden — as I did at the same age. And if you are one of those who need the experts to believe me, on 2007 this film won an Oscar for the best animeted film on 2007.

 
 
 
I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK

I’m A Cyborg, But That’s Ok is the latest film directed by Chan-Wook Park (The same director of Old Boy). This film will remember you film like Amelie, with this cheese history and  with visuals that seemed like technicolor art. But also I loved this oriental influence from the manga when she transforms her self in a killer robot.
Personaly I prefered Old Boy but I founded this one completed. But I need to share with you this vals from the sountrack iIcannot stop listening again and again, (The Last Waltz – Old Boy) and the trailer:
