Paola Antonelli on Humanized Technology »
Huge fan of Maria Popova's brainpickings. Saw this video of Paola Antonelli, MoMA’s curator of Architecture and Design over there. Paola's work heralds the coming world of design and its direction. This vid gives us a glimpse into her thought process, and the humanizing of technology. Brilliant.
Swiss Miss takes on nametags : Icebreaker tags »
Tina Roth Eisenberg is a smart, creative cookie. She runs a design firm in NYC, and edits a wonderful blog called Swiss Miss. She also came up with a brilliant solution for those ubiquitous and annoying little necessities called name tags...only she calls them icebreaker tags. All I can say is: why didn't I think of this?

Thoughts on Pushing Fashion Boundaries in an Era »
Feeling that you are on multiple channels, and not understanding anything clearly, seems to be a condition of modern life, and each of us deals with it differently. From an article in the NYTimes
Polaroid & Lady Gaga come up with Grey Label »

Jonathan Harris »
Since August 27, 2009, Jonathan Harris worked on a daily project to document his 30th year with a picture a day, accompanied by words. Some days it's just a picture with a few words...others, it a lengthy, complex, linked story. I subscribed to his daily email. I usually read it. I will miss him...
Levi’s jeans going waterless in a thirsty world. »
Interesting take by Mssngpeces & Myoo for Levi's waterless jeans. Nice approach as the brand takes the lead in asking its customer to contribute a lighter footprint and give up very little. On average, the jeans, which will cost the same as conventional ones, use 28% less water in the finishing process. Read [...]

Highbrow fashion meets tattoos? »
Tattoo-inspired body art was shown by fashion houses as different as Rodarte and Jean Paul Gautier on their Spring 2010 runways. And, Chanel presented its spring 2010 collection taking a much cheekier route than its usual sleek, highbrow runway show, with some temporary tattoos. Called Les Trompe L'Oeil de CHANEL Temporary Skin Art, these [...]
Visual collaboration : Nike + Turlan »
Love it when we see creative collaboration... Artist Marc Turlan, in collaboration with Nike, commissioned by Riccardo Tisci, is a beautiful visual manifestation of this. Artist Marc Turlan works with magazine imagery; tearing, cutting, and decontextualising paper to create disrupted works with flattened elements of the sculptural. In [...]
Steve Jobs on design in 1996 »
Ironic that this quote was found on a Microsoft design blog, making it even more significant, perhaps... "To design something really well you have to get it. You have to really grok what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to thoroughly understand something — chew it up, not just quickly swallow it .. .. A lot of people [...]
