Fabulous Hussein Chalayan Creates “Big Bang” Mechanical Dresses

I just love anything that's relate to high tech, futuristic gagets, Galaxy, Mysticism, spirituality stuff and of course Fashion! so when I saw the super talented fashion designer Hussein Chalayan Created a "Big Bang" Mechanical Dresses in his 2008 collection, I had to share w/ y'all if you have not seen it, it's jsut smipily amazing!



Hussein Chalayan is certainly no stranger to incorporating technology into his fashions, as he already showcased a series of LED laser dresses earlier this year in Tokyo. During the 2008 Paris Fashion Week , Hussein presented his Fall collection, which included high-tech dresses used to symbolize the Big Bang



The designer created mechanical dresses that sent out moving spots of light to symbolize the big-bang theory of the beginning of the universe. It's a beautiful sequence that feels almost like a ballet. Here is a video from http://www.adam-wright.com/(open a new browsing window & go to http://www.adam-wright.com/, after the site is loaded, click on the right side says "Fashion" then click on "Hussein Chalayan: Big Bang" to see the movement of the moving gagets in action.

Also you can watch the whole fashion show at his official website http://www.husseinchalayan.com/#/videos.2008.2008_a_w_grains_and_steel/
"Big Bang Dress" is the finale, so you might have to watch the whole show till you see the dress

Separated at Birth? Mor Cosmetics and Ladurée

I was wandering through the department store today and some packaging caught my eye. There is a striking similarity between Australia's famed Mor Cosmetics and the even more famous french brand Ladurée.

In Love With The Site/Designer's Work

I was doing my usual browsing around to keep my design juices flowing, and came upon a gorgeous site with some really lovely and delicate pen work. Personally I gave up my Rotring years ago, I think design school all but killed my love of ink. A meglomaniacal Swiss typography drill sergeant, er, I mean tutor, who never got over his single successful logo design, and a menopausal right-handed calligraphy torturer, oops, tutor who thought left-handedness was a choice, didn't help either.

Looking at this gorgeous work below however restores my faith that ink can be beautiful, fun and playful, because it's creator Daren Newman looks like he loves what he is doing. The simple graphic quality and restrained delicacy all mix to reveal someone with a lot "going on" inside his head and fabulous sense of composition to boot.

Check out the amazing Me&MyPen by Daren Newman and truly get inspired.
