You’ll have to indulge my Marc Jacobs rants… I have to discover what makes his collections tick so much! And in my searches I came across another MJ creation, part of an art project…

A really interesting project called Red Bull Art of Can is in full development few years already: it’s a national exhibition with various artworks from Red Bull cans.

After traveling the world (Amsterdam, Boston, Dubai, Dublin, London, Vienna a.o) the RATC competition is now opened in Washington DC (the exhibition will take place this fall). (don’t miss the rest of the pictures right after the jump!)

Not long ago, there was a question about men articles on Stylefrizz.com. Here it comes! With none the other but Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt covers the Architectural Digest in January 2009. How and who qualifies Brad as a cover subject for an architectural magazine is beyond my logic.

Of course I can understand the philanthropically correctness of portraying him for his New Orleans contribution, but the cover?

A simple internet search will show you that Brad has a passionate interest for architecture and he was involved in some charitable projects around New Orleans.(don’t miss the rest of the pictures right after the jump!)

Everyone’s talking about that. Everywhere I turn my head it’s either Angie’s breastfeeding photos by Brad Pitt for W magazine or the US financial clash. At least I’ve got the choice! (Pictures from the magazine updated at the end of the article!)

I won’t get financial, we’re Stylefrizz. We love fashion and entertainment. So I’d go for Angelina Jolie and her fifth and sixth children, the twins Knox and Vivienne, her natural children with partner Brad Pitt. It’s not in discrimination that I’m saying the above, it’s because few years ago, W magazine published photos of her, Brad Pitt and five children in a story about domestic bliss in 1963. Prophecy or just marketing? (more pictures after the jump)

If one day I’ll hear that they’re building the Moon in Dubai, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit!

Later this year, a new project will begin setting its first stones (sort of speaking) – Isla Moda. A Fashion Island. Literally. Involving fashion designers from allover the world will mold the new resort into an exclusive fashion industry promise land. There would be fashion shows and product launches, celebrities storming around.

The only thing not getting tagged by a designer would be the air on Isla Moda. Everything else will receive a heavy label. Residents will be provided with a personal concierge – a redeemed stylists under the Dubai sun who can help you sort your wardrobe and everything else surrounding their customers designer-hunger. The first designer announced for the project is none the other than the Kaiser Lagerfeld. Beware! There will be Chanel-tagged sidewalks! (just joking! Do you think they’ll make residences called Lagerfeld Villa? or fancy roads like Alexander McQueen Boulevard and so on?)

How about a steel beauty with teak laid decks signed Hermès? And you may take your time, it seems to be the first from a series of 24 luxury yachts.

I wish I could provide you with the proper photo but all I dug up were the technical specifications and that didn’t helped me much to know about the ECDIS Simrad CS55 with 15” Display or about the twin hydraulic ram and twin balanced rudder arrangement with interlink… But the facts still remain – Hermès is going into yachting… Why is it that they’d go rather mobile (a luxury car, a luxury helicopter) and others are moving towards concrete couture?

And another one bites the luxury concrete! Gianfranco Ferré is going Dubai residential. The Dubai mirage is no comparison to the catwalk, they’re all going to sign something over there.

Gianfranco Ferré Stresa will combine residential, commercial and hospitality spaces worth more than $1.2bn. The complex is named after the town where Gianfranco Ferré has his summer residence.

The architect of fashion, Gianfranco Ferré, was renowned for his clean lines, originality and inventiveness and we are more than confident that Gianfranco Ferré Stresa will encompass these attributes and fittingly represent the House of Gianfranco Ferré.
Here that? A luxury building named after a town! In Dubai! And signed by a fashion designer! Shall I end my celeb-turned-designer hunt and go concrete couture hunt?

It doesn’t surprise me one bit to see that more and more, designers are migrating from the catwalk into some other “fashion” related fields. Geographically, this pattern records high concentration in the Dubai area.

The hotel designed by Elie Saab is in direct relation with the Tiger Woods designed golf course, in an exclusive gold community with clubhouse, spa, palaces, mansions, villas and community service facilities. A city in itself.

Every detail of the hotel’s interiors will reflect my signature element that is defined by a fusion of simplicity, luxury and modernism to create a dreamlike ambiance. This is a first for me in terms of designing the interiors of a hotel, a reason why this project is especially close to my heart and will draw the best of my creative sensibilities.

Let’s imagine for a second that you would be given the opportunity to spend some time (like in days) in such a resort. Would you consider it an honor? Staying in a hotel where the interior decoration is signed by Elie Saab would mean just as much as wearing one of his dresses?

I was talking with my husband today remembering Fight Club (the movie) and we both agree on many things great about this film. Of course one of the greatest things was the acting. Both Brad Pitt and Edward Norton were brilliant, not to mention Helena Bonham Carter.

Anyway, later in the day I came across a piece of Pitt-news. Not your average gossip article about Brad Pitt but something rather different : he’s going to collaborate with two companies as a design consultant for the environmentally sustainable hotel and American themed development in Dubai. How about it? If his visions for this project are similar to the ones driving him to buy the marble table, I feel puzzled in my anticipation. Do you think he’s really into design? I mean like really, really, not just a signature on a project and marketing his name over architectural projects just because?
