KM3D 1 Another Magazine’s Kate Moss In 3 D Video
September 27th, 2010 by kpriss
Have you seen Kate Moss in 3 D yet? Before rushing out the door in searching for the nearest 3D glasses sales point, I have to share my non 3D experience with Kate. Even if the new fashion is now 3D, I stubbornly exert my God Given 2D vision to watch and experiment everything in the old school two dimensional way. It’s called “attitude”.
Getting back to the KM3D – 1 – pretty fancy name for Kate Moss 3D – 1 – the short movie bears the same Baillie Walsh signature as the famous McQueen hologram fw 2006 with, again, Kate Moss. Press play and have your say!
Burberry Prorsum Spring Summer 2011 Collection
September 27th, 2010 by kpriss
I was curious to see how they’ll decline the seventies under the Burberry Prorsum key. I wasn’t expecting such cutback on details and fabric layering. The Spring Summer 2011 collection from Burberry’s Christopher Bailey was very urban, young and quite simple.
Reminiscent details from last seasons hits (multi layered mini dresses) came forth again in neutral tons of peachy, buttery and plum, edged up by the leather jackets. Leather is the new trench right now at Burberry.
Manolo Blahnik At Home
September 27th, 2010 by kpriss
I told you I’m always curious about the backstages of fashion. Someone’s home tells so much about that person, I’m almost nervous to cross their threshold, be it just virtually, through imagery!
Manolo Blahnik home holds that old, bourgeois charm that we often see in designers cribs (as photographed by Ivan Terestchenko’s lenses, the same who signed the YSL book a while back). It must cradle their fantastic imagination in some unknown ways known to us, ikea devotes. Something that could last for ages, comforting like your granny’s chicken stock in long winters. Ladies and gents, welcome chez Manolo Blahnik!
Worn Looking Jeans No Longer Being Produced?
September 22nd, 2010 by kpriss
In their restless efforts to make the world a better place, the giants are making a tiny little step: H & M and Levi Strauss & Co have recently announced they won’t sell or buy (jeans) products that have been sandblasted.
Sandblasting gives denim that priceless (actually it has a price, in percentage, adding 50% to the value of the product) worn look, however, the process may induce silicosis. The disease, affecting the lungs of the sandblasting workers can be attained by inhaling sand, silica powder and crystals, all of them used in the above mentioned process. The Turkish Health Ministry prohibited the sandblasting practice in 2009, however, sandblasting still occurs in Egypt, Pakistan and Syria. Sure, chemicals and lasers are used to produce the worn effect, however, nothing works wonders like sandblasting. I don’t know about you, but my worn out (through extensive wearing) jeans have a new meaning as of right now! (via)
Ready For The $4,000 Hermes Bicycle?
September 22nd, 2010 by kpriss
Hermes joins the ranks of the bicycle couture with a flawless creation in lacquered stainless steel.
For this timeless, genderless beauty with Taurillon Clemence leather accents you have to pay $4,000. (and no, it doesn’t come with a matching Kelly or Birkin. Not, that even a mini one!) While I’m sure there will be plenty who’ll opt for this new couture Hermes bicycle, I still think stainless steel offers a too heavy alternative to the light carbon or even aluminum. That’s because I’m picky and if I had $4,000 to splash on a bike, I’d choose the best comfort / engineering rapport I could find and not just a famous leather goods brand offering. Would you give in to the Hermes bike just because it’s a Hermes?

The Spray On Clothing, That Practical?
September 22nd, 2010 by kpriss
As we’re moving faster and faster, I thought technology will overcome us. It did not happened. I’m still bound with loving a brick sized, more than three year-old phone design (that flooded the market just when everyone else was trying to make smaller phones) and that’s just a pretext to talk yet again about how much I love the iPhone…
Getting back to serious stuff: there’s a designer out there who’s being wizardly playing around with fabric. At such point that he liquefied the fabric and turned into a spray – on clothing experiment. Raising my eyebrows and asking you if you could use such clothes – in – a can, I do see some potential in the new technology. What say you? (via)
