whitelabel.

August 19th, 2008

There’s a new Scandinavian label on the loose, Whitelabel. Instant cred for turning the average joe into Pete Doherty, this label wants to people to “share and appreciate our references and sources of inspiration.” Another label to the 150 page wishlist of brands to bring to our shores.

Comme des Garçons for H&M

August 19th, 2008

Finally! Something to look at for the much awaited Comme des Garçons for H&M collaboration. It is interesting to see what die hard avantgardist Rei Kawakubo can come up with for prêt-à-porter H&M. No worries for both genders as most pieces can be worn by either. Images were removed at H&M’s request on most websites, so lets put our hands together and pray for a H&M store to pop up soon.

My life, to go.

July 30th, 2008

Living daylight fighting the world with my Macbook is no swanky task, which is why I’m digging this cranky laptop case by Taiwanese designer 25togo. It tells so much about my life that is my computer in a simple universal icon, I’m also digging their ‘Photo’ folder, for your digital camera. Oh, and did i mention you get a free cursor badge for each ‘folder’? Swanky!

 

 

We do read.

July 30th, 2008

Contrary to popular belief, us Marketing and Creative people do read. We read more than just Italian Vogue, I.D and Nylon, we’re into more intense reads like Life!, New Paper and 8 Days, every week. Jokes aside, since we’re such devout pushers of all things new and edgy, we’ve always been drawn to stories of success and grandeur, and we realized we’ve got a book called ‘Boss of Me’ by Pearlin Siow that compiled a good thick read of success stories from 20 of Singapore’s movers and shakers, with 2 of them being Aldrin Quek and Lincoln Cheng. So myth busted, we do read, only when we’re in it.

Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons

July 30th, 2008

Looks like the whole world is on a roll here when it comes to collaborations. This post may be a little late, but it’s nifty enough for a second look, and for those well under the fashion radar, it’s not too late to catch up.

Here’s the lowdown; fashion hothouse Louis Vuitton has teamed up with avant-garde maven Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons to produce a collection of bags based on the classic LV monogram.

The dynamic duo will also launch an impermanent store in the Comme des Garçons Tokyo from 4th September through mid-December 2008. For Rei, it’s a revisit to the memories of seeing the first Louis Vuitton Japan store launch in 1978, fascinated by French craftsmanship and art de vivre it projected. The collection can only be ordered from the Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons store in Tokyo.

Rivy Ng

July 30th, 2008
.
I chanced upon Rivy Ng only recently, when I was on the Aloha Rag site sifting through their list of designers they stock on their site. Singapore-born Rivy Ng left us in the autumn of 1994 for the US of A to pursue a design education. In 2000, he took on the position of Art Director at Staff International USA, building the DSquared2 brand into the American market. He subsequently founded the MadCornerShop, Inc. in 2004 and started the Rivy Ng brand, stocking it in 14 high profile stores around the globe. In 2005, he was invited by Museum of Modern Art in Milan to exhibit his collection. His poetic pieces display nonchalance and warmth, it’s a pity we don’t stock him on our shores.
