British goth-chic designer Gareth Pugh has recently teamed up with ABSOLUT MODE EDITION to participate in a redesign of the iconic ABSOLUT bottle.
Having served as a blank canvas for the likes of Andy Warhol, Kurt Wenner and Spike Lee, the Swedish brand’s bottle serves doubly as a container and a piece of art, especially when designed as special limited editions.
For his turn at the trademark spirit, Pugh chose to evoke the realm of fashion by creating a bottle with twelve facets and wrapping it in a midnight blue silk cloth embroidered band. Available exclusively at Harvey Nichols and Selfridges, the distinctive ABSOLUT model is sure to be a collectors item for fashionistas and discerning drinkers alike.
Pairing mathematics with craftsmanship, the textile designers behind Montreal label String Theory weave quality yarns into beautifully-patterned super-soft scarves and throw blankets. The two-person team behind the brand works closely with small-batch manufacturers, allowing for wide experimentation with techniques.
This artful combination of tradition and innovation results in everyday accessories with Modernist geometric appeal. Currently String Theory’s Euclidean designs come in simple black and gray motifs, using mostly Alpaca, cotton and bamboo.
Initial designs include intricate String Theory 101 scarf, which mimics the weaving process, and the Big Mess throw, an elegantly scrambled composition.
Pins and needles may be an integral element of most garment construction, but for Rie Hosokai, the pointy tools could leave her designs coming up flat, literally.
You see, Hosokai deftly twists and manipulates balloons—yes, that’s right, balloons.
Rie Hosokai is the wordlwide appreciated balloon artist. Her significant technique and exquisite sense of fashion were proven by winning the international balloon dress competition “Millenniumjam Fashion Award” two years in a row and many other major balloon art contests.
She is the most desired and favorite artist which performances continue to entertain all audiences of all ages.
Yury Ustsinau is an artist, designer and illustrator residing in Frankfurt an Main, Germany. Born in 1979 in Vitebsk, Belarus, the hometown of world-known artist Marc Chagall, he graduated from Vitebsk Technological University, with a degree in Product Design.
Much of his work is found in private collections and various pieces have been represented in galleries and art exhibitions.
Yury has developed an amazingly distinguished, personal style where surrealism is rendered in black and white with a unique glossy feel. He has become one mad modern artist, enjoy some of his artwork below. (All images below are the sole property of the artist.)
The new project from Portuguese singer/songwriter Zé Manuel, opens with 7 fairly standard pop-rock songs, with folk and blues influences throughout.
The second half veers off into slower, more emo-ish territory and it’s then that things get really interesting. Songs like “The Weirdest Place I’ve Ever Been”, “Broke The Clock Again”, “The Death (It’s Over Now)” and “Not Your Fucking Daddy” manage to really stand out.
As a whole this mad record is hard to resist.
