By philippe stark for andrey melnichenko Here

 

Whether the polar ice caps melt or not, some of the world’s wealthiest people will remain stylishly afloat in their luxury yachts. a new crop of these floating vessels is emerging which employ the design skills of today’s top architects and designers. Whether it’s the philippe stark designed ‘a’ yacht owned by
russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko for 250 millions euros or Norman Foster’s new signature yacht collection, many of
today’s luxury yachts are going designer. stark and foster only only some of the traditional designers urning their focus to boats, others include architect john pawson, prosche design and lazzarini pickering architects. however the most unusual boat in this new category has to be ‘guilty’ a boat commissioned
by greek billionaire dakis joannou. designed by architect ivana porfiri, the boat features a colourful pattern designed by contemporary artist jeff koons.

Table, Chairs and Radiators by Lucy Merchant

‘mommy’s chair’ table and chairs

Last year we featured london designer lucy merchant’s ‘endangered species’ collection of furnishings. Two of her other projects also caught our attention. her ‘mommy’s chair’ table and chairs collection is based on the sketching lines and warped perspective found in children’s drawings, it is really difficult to them for the first time and understand that they are real and not an design from a child. Absolutlly genious and subrealist!!

Another project is her ‘common series’ of gate and fence shaped radiators. after realizing the similarities between
fences and radiators, merchant created this series.

The House of Viktor & Rolf at The Barbican Art Gallery

The House of Viktor & Rolf at The Barbican Art Gallery

---

The New York Times recently made Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren the designers of the moment As guest bloggers the Dutch duo wrote of their recent project: a retrospective show, “The House of Viktor & Rolf,” which will be opening next week at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. 55 complete looks (including hair and makeup) from 15 past memorable seasons will be presented on custom-made life-size porcelain dolls.

…[A] giant doll’s house that is at the heart of our exhibition at the Barbican. The doll’s house is nine meters high and designed in a U shape, wrapping around one of the large concrete pillars present in the gallery. It is at once inspired by the famous Dutch doll’s houses of the golden age, as well as English Victorian department-store architecture. When you enter the exhibition, a serpentine trail leads you past a display of works from the first years of our brand, up to the first couture collection. Then the visitor comes face to face with the giant doll’s house. Like its 17th-century Dutch counterparts, it is built on legs. It has three stories an can be viewed from different levels…With the couture dolls having grown to human size, this show is about surreal juxtapositions. The confrontation with the life-size dolls dwarfs the spectator, pulling them into the narrative and, as such, making them a part of the exhibition. “Every garment is like a couture garment,” Horsting says of the runway looks that were remade to fit the roughly 25-inch-tall models. “Everything was scaled down — the embroideries, the prints, all the accessories.”

Typically I find dolls a bit precious, but I anticipate that Viktor & Rolf’s presentations will hint ever so slightly at the macabre. There is something oxymoronic about this as an artistic gesture in general, since V&R have never really earnestly pursued the idea of woman as fragile and doll-like. I am excited to see what they produce! You can check out some of the dolls here..

Oh my GOOOOD!!! This is so much for me!!! It is true that the very polifacetic fashion designer karl lagerfeld has created a limited edition teddy bear version of himself?!!! Yess it is true!!! This man is really making history in the wrong way. Karl, we know allready that you are a "genious", you dont need to do anything more!! Stop breaking your brains looking for how to be modern and cool, and take you off this ridiculous collar and this glasses, everybody know it YOU ARE OLD!! and the ride is beatifull…ok I callm miself now…

Ah! if you really wants to get one of those 2500 limited edition lagerfeld teddy bear with sporting black sunglasses, a white shirt and black tie, with jeans and a jacket
 will retail for approximately 1400 USD. Chez Colette ( but maybe you can donate the money to an ONG and save the life of a poor guy, who knows…)

Everybody Talking About Comme des Garçons for H&M

Were you wondering who would follow up Karl, Stella and Viktor & Rolf as H&M’s next guest designer this fall? Now I’m working in H&M and  wonder no more, today we had some info about who is gonig to be the next colaboration for H&M: REI KAWAKUBO!! All this after the mega chain opens its first store in Tokyo this November.

We think this is great, because we can’t imagine another scenario in which we could afford anything designed by Rei, but we’re also a little worried – the collection is supposed to include clothes for both men and women (obviously), accessories (fine), children’s clothing (uh), and a perfume (oof). I just can’t wait!!

Hots Proaesthetics

‘Pro Aesthetics supports’ by Francesca Lanzavecchia

---

The italian born designer francesca lanzavecchia graduated from the masters program at the design
academy in eindhoven last spring. Her thesis project ‘pro aesthetics supports’ explored the perception
of disability through its artefacts. In the project she redesigned common medical artefacts associated
with disability such as neck braces, canes, crutches and back braces. She focused on making the
artefacts expressive so that each one becomes a personal representation of their owner, while paying
special attention to social stigma.

I know I know…. another photographer? But this one is absolutly amazing!! Her name is Liz Wolfe and is a Canadian photographer, and she just has updated her site with her newest series which focuses on characters and confection. The photos are never what they first seem, revealing something a little more macabre on closer inspection: uuuhhhh a meat tree, a diseased dear, a melting icy pole dripping blood. It’s all presented in hyper-real candy colours. He work remember me the spanish photographer Chema Madoz and his visual games. Have a look!! 😉
