Classic movies X Minimalistic design

Graphic designer Michal Krasnopolski has taken the posters of popular movies and simplified them. The goal was to create a modernist and minimalist poster series for movie enthusiasts, and I think he’s done that quite well.

Eye Bling

We love accessories on our bodies but not inside. There is now a trend of eye bling where you can have a charm surgically inserted into your eye. Even crazier than the procedure is the price, Safesight Jewelry costs up to 3,000 grand for a little charm!

On tour with Nirvana

Around October 1989 Kurt Cobain was seen carrying a plastic container full of vomit in his hands. That vomit

came from Tad Doyle , a 130 -pound former butcher from Idaho who was at the time in Europe with the modest success grunge band Tad.Nirvana and Tad were together on tour for 37 shows in Europe and in one way or another it became a full-time job for Kurt  to help Tad with his stomach disorders ( number Imodium Tad - later Broad was on Nevermind - is the anti- diarrheal agents named Tad). The co- founders of their label Sub Pop Records , Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman , joined the tour to Rome.

They traveled eight days with the bands along the road and Bruce took hundreds of photos.The tour culminated in Lame Fest UK,at the Astoria Theatre in London ( now the Rainbow Theatre ). Steve had shot the pictures for the British music magazine Sounds.For some inexplicable reason the pictures have never been published. 

 Bruce and Steve will soon bring out the book Experiencing Nirvana : Grunge in Europe,from 1989. 

Until then : pull your smiley t- shirt , put Bleach and make some of it.

THE CHANEL LEGEND

The ‘Little Black Dress’, the Chanel suit and Chanel No. 5 – all still part of today’s universal fashion vocabulary. The designs of Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel (1883-1971) revolutionised the way women dressed in the 20th century. Chanel stood for elegance, style and freedom of movement. Her designs became classics and still feature in today’s fashion scene. The designer’s colourful ‘rags to riches’ life story has captivated the public for generations and remains a source of lasting inspiration. The Chanel Legend tells the fascinating story of Coco Chanel and her celebrated fashion house. The exhibition includes a range of top items, including original Chanel designs of the 1920s and ’30s, women’s suits of the 1960s and creations once worn by star clients like Marlene Dietrich, Romy Schneider and Her Majesty Queen Paola of Belgium.
