THE NON "ALCHEMIA MYSTERIA" BY TONY SPACKMAN










The NON has captived me with their unique vision on men's fashion, represented in a photo-shoot that exudes surrealism. it's the fourt collection created by tony spackman, previously spent 9 years designing for nike.

the collections are simply exquisite. The NON represents a whole new way of interpreting luxury in fashion. I think that tony spackman is one of the most interesting designers at the moment.

the bucket list nr.1 cave diving Bahama's




When vacationing divers dip into the upper levels of Bahamas'blue holes-flooded inland caves formed originally from limestone-to take a look around, they are unwittingly close to some of the world's most dangerous diving. Farther below lies a kingdom of passageways that holds fossils and ancient formations. The very few who pass through the layer of toxic gas to reach these lower levels find pinhole passageways where a technical failure or wrong turn could spell doom and one errant fin could obliterate 10,000-year-old rock structures. But those who do venture into the watery veins of the Earth discover whole ballrooms full of tightly packed stalactites, prehistoric human remains, and fossils of now extinct crocodiles and tortoises. Thes caves are, quite literally, another world.

A NEW KIND OF BEAUTY.. I LIKE

DIANE ARBUS







Arbus' artistic carrer initiated in 1959 when she began studying photography with Lissete Model. With her new and innovative style, Diane recieved the Guggenheim felowship in 1963 as well as in '66. A year after her first fellowship, her work was recognized by John Szarkowski who formed Arbus' first exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. As Arbus' career progressed, a portfolio of 10 photographs was made in 1970 that created her first series of limited editions. While at the top of Diane's progression in the art world and her ongoing exploration of the limits of photographic art, her carrer was smashed to an immediate end by her suicide on July 26th, 1971.

Arbus' work impacts the photography world with a sharp attack on the boundaries of what is considered to be "proper" or "tasteful" art. In 1972, Diane Arbus was the first American photographer to be exhibited at the Venice Biennale.

MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL JUNIOR DESIGNER AWARD TAKAYUKI HORI





Takayuki Hori, Oritsunagumono (things folded and connected) was awarded 1st prize. Hori embeds the ancient craft of origami with an environmental theme by using the skeleton of a sea turtle, waterfowl and 6 other endangered animals printed on a translucent material.

The material is then folded into the shape of the animal. The stark and eerily poignant origami prints reminds us that, much like the way the craft has been passed down from generation to generation, these animals that have accompanied us for thousands of years now face extinction.
