In my dreams!!!!!!!!!!

Since I was a kid I have always had recurring dreams about futuristic architecture, often they would be giant structures made from glass with vines and roots. These dreams were a combination of my love for Aldous Huxley books and films like Laputa (castle in the sky) and Labyrinth. I came across the Portugese architect Álvaro Leite Siza Vieira's dream home Casa fez. 

words:LadyLuck

We have all seen more than enough of the stacked-boxes genre of architecture. Boring, cold, uninviting, uninhabitable and so last decade.

Yet, once in a while, a set of images crosses our desks of a project that could potentially fall into the has-been category but doesn’t, and instead makes us look again and ponder the beauty of great architecture.

This is the case with Casa Fez, a new house in Porto, Portugal, designed by Álvaro Leite Siza Vieira.

 From some angles, we see glimpses of Tomorrowland, but we are willing to overlook that because from so many other viewpoints, the statuesque poise of the structure and the stark clarity of lines brings back memories of Alvar Aalto. One can almost imagine this house in the birch forests of Finland.

 Architect Álvaro Leite Siza Vieira, who was born in 1962 in Porto, graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Escola do Porto in 1994. He has an impressive pedigree that includes touches of Finland, and that which perhaps explains the Aalto-like feel of this house.

He is the son of one of the best-known Portuguese architects, Álvaro Siza Vieira www.alvarosizavieira.com, winner of the 1992 Pritzker Prize and the 1988 Alvar Aalto Medal, among many other accolades.

 Father and son collaborated in the creation of their competition entry for the Museum of Contemporary Art, KIASMA, in Helsinki in 1992 (won by American architect Steven Holl.)

 Natural light, wooden floors, unadorned windows all add up to a simplicity that resembles a gallery, museum or concert hall. Casa Fez does not pretend to be a cozy home, but is instead a statement residence that fits the owners’ lifestyle. - Tuija Seipell

Robert Bradford creates his life-size and larger-than-life sculptures of humans and animals from discarded plastic items, mainly toys but also other colorful plastic bits and pieces, such as combs and buttons, brushes and parts of clothes pegs.

Contrary to some reports, he’s not a self-taught artist who tinkered in his shed one day and suddenly decided to create something out of his kids’ discarded toys. He is a London-born and U.K. and U.S.-trained visual artist who, like many artists, also had another career on the side. His was that of a psychotherapist.

In 2002, he started to consider the possibilities that his children’s forgotten toys could have as part of something bigger. Bradford says he likes the idea that the plastic pieces have a history, some unknown past, and that they also pass on a “cultural” history as each of the pieces represents a point in time. Recycling is not his primary concern, but each sculpture certainly keeps quite a few pieces from becoming landfill. Some of the sculptures contain pieces from up to 3,000 toys and sell for £12,000 (US$19,000). - words :Tuija Seipell

Lashings of style

Paperself is a platform for the innovative exploration of paper for contemporary product design. 

Since the time of the ancient Egyptians, paper has enabled the world to communicate. It has bought continents closer together, educated millions and for centuries has provided a canvas for creation, experimentation and the realisation of ideas. Paper is everywhere and now it is evolving into a new dimension.

Launched in 2009 by London based designer Chunwei Liao, Paperself unites artists, designers and manufacturers from East to West. Challenging conventions of product design, Paperself offers a stylish alternative in furniture, homeware and accessories for eco-conscious living.

 This is the beginning of a paper revolution.Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting, Eyelashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design.

Intricately cut and delicately pretty, Eyelashes are now available in 11 styles, each infused with symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese culture:

Horses: symbolic of success

Peony: for happiness and good fortune

Peach blossom: a symbol of love and romance

Peacock: auspicious and lucky days

Butterfly: free, buautiful and sensitive

Clown: bring the whole happiness

Unique and expressive, Eyelashes come in two sizes: accentuate the corners of your eyes with the smaller lashes for a subtle daytime look, or make a statement with the full lashes for a special occasion.

Dimension: 42*18mm Material: paper

Video: Supreme x Vanessa Veasley Shoot by Terry Richardson

You’re looking at the latest not-safe-for-work photoshoot from the infamous Terry Richardson. Working with Vanessa Veasley, the shoot was created in promotion of Supreme’s latest apparel and accessory collection and was featured in their recent publication: Supreme Book, Vol. 6. Featuring a small collection of Supreme products, Veasley steals the show, showcasing her body more prominently than the gear. Typically shot against a plain white background the shoot takes Richardson’s signature style in all its scandalous glory.

British fashion label Fred Perry have collaborated with Amy Winehouse. This is her first collection and is now available for sale in all standalone Fred Perry boutiques worldwide and online. The  17-piece capsule collection for women - 15 items of clothing, a belt and a clutch bag - hit shelves on October 25.

The singer's debut collection strongly reflects her personal style. Expect a predominantly black and pink palette, checkered print and 1950s-inspired pieces.

Key pieces in the collection include Fred Perry's iconic twin-tipped M12 polo shirt, Harrington jacket and jumper dress - all reworked with a sexy twist by Winehouse. The hemlines on her pencil skirts are shorter, her Capri pants channel punk-rock attitude, and her argyle sweater is more fitting for a 1950s siren than a demure lady.

Sizes run from a women's 6 (UK) to 16 (UK). Price points range from £55 (€62.50) for a polo tee to £275 (€312.57) for a trench coat.
