Another fashion designer (after Gareth Pugh) that we considered to be out of classic fashion borders - Hussein Chalayan streches his innovation and creativity across the industry of a beauty.
"PARIS–For fall 2011, Hussein Chalayan again presented a film, picking up where he left off last season, exploring Japanese culture within the DNA he’s established over the past ten years. But it’s not the kind of literal Japanese influence you might envision–no obis or kimono sleeves here. This season’s film, Kaikoku, means “open country” in Japanese. “After the period of isolation Sakoku in Japan, the country experienced and openness to Western culture which over the years has influenced the food, fashion, art, architecture and technology while the country has still remained distinctly Japanese,” his line sheets explained." - read more on Fashionista

Since we are developing Designcollector Magazine for iPad (expected in April for our 8th Anniversary) we are interested in creative applications floating around. Here is an awesome app for typography geeks "Type Specimen"
Type Specimen is the first font viewer for iPad, revolutionizing the way digital fonts are presented today. It's an ideal tool for people who need to select fonts for projects - be it magazine design, corporate identity design, web applications, or book typesetting. Type Specimen is a quick and easy way to navigate the type foundry, containing over two hundred original font styles. Type Specimen allows you to categorize individual fonts, make comparisons, or see details of specific glyphs. All of this for free of course.

My 28th birthday I spent literally under the Pont Neuf in Paris ("New Bridge") hiding from a rain with my family and a good bottle of red. And this video from Emeric is a small reminder to revisit this place again :)
