> Lost and found ” a collection dedicated to pure ideas based on the diminishing craftsmanship and artisanal nature that has been lost or replaced by hyper industrialization and the obsessive desire for constant change. In an attempt to preserve and revive old techniques and materials, the collection evolves from research and creative experimentation aspiring to define a more complex sense of luxury…(noovoeditions)

The Inside Source, new ebay fashion website

> Ebay has launched  the website The Inside Source,  written by fashion journalists. The aim is to shift the idea that ebay only offers sencond hand things. The syle of the web  follows the success model of net-a-porter & similar fashion portals that offer a purchasing experience closer to a fashion magazine with fashion tips and hot topics. E–commerce has proved to be the only rapidly increasing bussiness and still very few actors participate.

> Gilles et Dada, esta pareja de diseñadores finlandeses extrae su ideario del movimiento dadá ( uno de mis preferidos):

“Gilles et dada is a state of mind….applies to everything and yet it is nothing. It is the point where the yes and no and like everything in life, Gilles et Dada is useless. Without pretention, as life should be…and yet still have dreams..”.
