have you imagine how it might look if the shards would have gotten stuck in your hair?

well, Honor has done a rather impeccable job for the hair for its S/S 2013 RTW show. ok, maybe my interpretation of the hair is a lil far fetched but you must agree with me that its a beautiful hairstyle. its incredibly chic and effortless.

P.S i certainly hope no one is smashing their heads with glass bottles just to look this impeccable.

however, that did not catch my attention. instead it was the extensive paper set design the team manages to create to infuse the model in this wonderland Alice will highly approve of.

i enjoyed how the paper manages to keep its materiality (being rigid) but at the same time retaining its fluidity, allowing the set to flow into each other seamlessly. and i admire how the art direction team kept to the idea of using just paper, without any form of other materials to be seen. (or maybe it was just very well hidden)

well, Moschino thought the ‘pop’ should not just be made exclusively to the fifties, therefore their Menswear Spring/Summer 13 was in a Milanese Supermarket and with models (yeap you’re right) dressed in a ‘pop’ of colours and prints. Familiar packaging such as the Budweiser and Detergent boxes were cleverly incorporated into the collection, which i may add the polo tee is freaking awesome!

should i get one of these for my graduation outfit? tell me!

His recent work titled “Stacked” is currently exhibiting in Italy and if you think Tampines is filled with people on bicycles, you should check this out. Consisting of 760 bicycles, stacked on one another, the height of the installation is nearly as tall as Jack’s beanstalk (no im kidding, just nearing the ceiling of the gallery).

But why such a space station / futuristic installation?

Simple. almost everything is made in China. The bicycle is the primary source of transport for the people in China, its a crucial part of their daily life. and please don’t quote my interpretation of this work using my only available knowledge towards art, but i think its a response to how the Chinese people contributes to the mass production of products demanded by the nation and the world.

the energy that is needed to operate the bicycle is what drives the production and almost like a cycle, the people feeds off the mass production in the form of a bicycle. also, the man made like structure created by the bicycles reminds one about the  nation that is constantly growing.

fortunately, the guys from Artsyfact is here to save the day before the world starts to burn (its Dec 21 btw). they are a quirky trio that transforms these once endangered furniture into one of a kind work of art and suave looking objects. Scouring through the deserts of Australia and the tropic jungles of Thailand, Artsyfact has upcycled countless furniture all with one objective in mind – ‘junk is only a label for things we can’t find new uses for’ (i quote from their latest Juice #dec 2012 interview) 

indeed, these furniture are not just appealing to the eyes but made functional in a way like Frankenstein. contrasting elements are combined to make these gorgeous babies work.

each furniture has fulfilled more than the upccyling aspect, it has also inspired the trio to create furniture that touches the heart. one particular furniture titled ‘Homage to Har Cheh’ a special sewing machine leg with a Formica table top caught my little eye. it was named after a sweet lady in Perak, Malaysia (boleh!)  who gave them the sewing machine. inspired by her sheer stubbornness to not move away from her town despite the government plans, the table encapsulates her resilience and strength in staying true to herself.

so pop by their store at Everton Park, listen to the individual stories told by the furniture and lastly, give them a big hug for saving the endangered furnitures.

the beautiful pictures titled Papercuts, rock my socks. Shot in a what i believe is the backstage of a theatre, the model wearing delightful paper costumes which reminded me of the dada theatre and the triadic ballet. both having very exaggerated body forms and silhouettes in costumes. oh yes, i could definitely see the surrealism reference (especially Giorgio De Chirico) in the shots, starting with the set design, where sculptures and items seems to be displaced at this seemingly random areas but yet forming quiet relationships with each other through the weird juxtaposition.

somehow, i no longer hate papercuts anymore.
