Spring by Plein Sud

While fashion weeks in fashion capitals all over the world are showing the trends we'll wear this fall and winter, i'm looking forward to spring. If it's gonna look as half as good as the spring by Plein Sud, it's gonna be just beautiful!

We love this Spring-Summer Plein Sud collection!

First Spring; a movie by Prada + Yang Fudong

Inspired by the Chinese adage that "the whole year's work depends on a good start in spring", this bold and beautiful film (9,17 mins) represents an exciting new direction for Prada's visual communications at the start of this decade. 

Featuring young men gathered in Shanghai, dressed in Prada menswear, the black and white film portrays a timeless, dreamlike realm where anything is possible.

"First Spring" is Prada's latest collaboration with pioneering Chinese artist Yang Fudong. 

Picture in the movie is subtle and sublime, quiet but meaningful:

 

 

 

Save your kisses for 2010

It's that time of the year again, where you share love and best wishes with people in your life. Today I received a video-card greeting from my friends Uros and Vali. Uros is a fashion designer and creative mind behind Plein Sud, and Vali (Valerija Kelava), well, you have probably seen her in many catwalks this fashion season (Prada, Rodarte, Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Kenzo, Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu, Missoni, Wunderkind, Christopher Kane, Celine, Gaspard Yurkievich, and so many more...).

We just love them, and nothing really beets their greeting card.

Mini Karl

Do you remember our entry about "Designer Dolls" we did months ago??, well seems is not a fading trend, now we bring you the latest of the "design stars" toys:

the Mini Karl:


No doubt Karl Lagerfeld is also a design icon. This mini replica of the Kaiser its signed by Tokidoki. Hope nobody gets surprised if in a couple of years Lagerfeld becomes some kind of a designer-version hello-kitty-like phenomenon. The problem is how to start, and Karl has already done it. Here's his first step into "playful immortality", a vinyl sculpture by the Italian artist Simone Legno that under full japanese influence signs its works as "Tokidoki".


Mini Karl is a limited edition of 1000 units, and they are for sale (129 Euros) at K Karl Lagerfeld stores and also at Tokidoki. There is also a t-shirt version you might carry around in your next walk through the city.
