Forever graphic aficionados, when we stumbled across Danielle Wright and Sandi Falconer’s leather purse and accessory line, Falconwright, and were completely smitten. They’ve appropriately done a collaboration with Urban Outfitters, though the best selection of goods can be found on their website. In addition to the playful pouches, it’s worth noting that their photography and set design are as fun as the product. Fantastic branding all around.
If you’re looking for some eye candy, give the Marni blog a gander. The pics are awkwardly large, but updated regularly and representative of what we’ve come to love about the brand.
Alissia Melka Teichroew is known in both the jewelry and technology worlds. Using 3D printing to create jointed necklaces in 2010, she continues to craft modular minimalist pieces with her latest quilted collection. Also firmly footed in the art and product design arenas, her process is fascinating to observe, as her concept takes a playful, sophisticated approach to a familiar texture. If you’re in Milan this month, be sure to visit her showcase, you won’t be disappointed.
Who remembers the cloud trend from 2009? Everything was round and plump with rain in the forecast. This mobile from Lucky Wang is reminiscent of this theme and a lovely gift for a newborn. If you’re feeling crafty, it’s also easy enough to make. Which face is your favorite?
Today we’re linking hues round the world. First and foremost, March 27th marks the religious festival of Color, otherwise known as Holi. Gillie Nevel, a friend from childhood, posted this portrait to Facebook today, fresh from the festival in Jaipur. For a kid at heart, it looks amazing!
Of course instagram followed suit with rainbow colored NYC streets that seem to dually reflect this week’s Gay marriage vote (shot by Timothy Goodman). The hair shot is by Lauren Conrad.
Then there’s the Color me Rad race. It’s an interesting translation of Western customs. A vibrant and messy fusion reminiscent of Burning Man culture.
Bringing this full circle and reminding us of tasteful and creative ways to market yourself along w the global calendar, the Polli team recently produced their own Holi photoshoot from Australia. After testing dyed flour powdered paints, Polli used trampoline style propulsions along with a super fast pack to capture loads of frames per second.
Every time my screen freezes, I wish I were faster to capture it. The patterns are so unexpected and beautifully frustrating. As brands have woven the concept of technology into their products, the transition’s been interesting to observe. From McQ’s and Mr. Hare’s paralyzing ads last year to Phillip Stearns’ more recent glitch blankets, the concept celebrates our utter lack of control- and a visual acceptance of the future.
