Go here and learn.

I reccomend Ron Eglash and African Fractuals, Hod Lipson and his self aware robots and Peter Donnelly and how juries get fooled by statistics.

Loic Prigent is the french director behind two of the best fashion documentaries I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve never been that into Marc Jacobs as a designer or Louis Vuitton as a brand, but the documentary is a really interesting look at the process it takes to produce both brands. Even if you don’t like it, you can’t argue with the reach both of these brands have. Loic’s documentary is great because he is seems slightly removed from fashion and can a offer a new perspective.

The video is Loic’s other fashion mini series that takes a look at what it takes to produce a haute couture chanel collection. The whole thing is up on you tube and this is the perfect kind of weather to sit back and watch it. These ladies are the real deal, good watching even if chanel isn’t your thing.

Thurs Dec 20th, we’ve joined forces with the best and brightest in Fitzroy to help you sort yourself out this christmas. Whether it’s something for yourself of someone special, tomorrow is the night to do it.

Theo Jansen is a genius.
For the past 10 years he has been creating new nature, with plastic of all things. His creatures are called strandbeests and he envisions them roaming the beach in herds, surviving on their own. It’s people like him that I find really fascinating, he’s spent a good portion of his life on these things that have no real discernible purpose, surely the principles can be applied to lots of other mediums, but that is not his goal. I love that, check out a video here. His own website here.

two of our own are living it up southeast asia style over christmas. First stop KL. Currently on the way to singapore. I’m jealous. Here’s some teaser flicks and I’ll post more later.
