Artist Pip and Pop and Australian fashion label Romance was Born have collaborated in this trippy campaign featuring mushrooms, 60’s helmet hair, and lots of sugar. The pastel landscapes are all entirely made with sugar. I really, really love this because it reminds me of the one and only Lady Miss Kier from Dee-lite. She was pretty …

Students Tim Bouckley, Millie Clive-Smith, Mi Eun Kim and Yuta Sugawara of The Royal College of Art in London have invented a headset/face mask that can adjust sound and sight to the wearer’s preference. Basically, it’s a personal tuner for your face and it’s called Eidos. Two things: How does it know to adjust …

Japanese company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts have created postcards featuring sushi cats! This is so ridiculous, it’s genius. These cats are stealing the fishes thunder. I’m definitely okay with that since cats are more cuddly than fish. Check out their online shop with a free mobile app, a variety of postcards and …

French photographers Metra Bruno and Laurence Jeanson have come up with the most brilliant idea ever! Just cut a magazine face and tape it to your face! This is the broke-ass way of cosmetic surgery. Although this is a great idea only if you’re hanging out with a bunch of near-sighted people who forgot …

Artist Scott Hove unveiled his newest work called “Guns & Ecstasy” in San Francisco’s Spoke Art last month. You can read more about his past works here and here.

Central Saint Martins graduate Estefania Cortes Harker was inspired by American child pageants for her senior collection. Glittered fabrics were the mainstay of the collection. I, honestly, don’t see any hints of Honey Boo Boo. I don’t see any empty ‘maronnaise’ jars, I don’t see any pork rinds, and where is Glitzy the …

UK Milliner Bundle MacLaren (sounds like a Bond girl!) has burst upon the hat scene in 2009 and is already the favorite of those royal-types. My fave out of the bunch above has to be the ice cream cone hat. It’s like what a kid would do if he was sick of …

The Ukrainian fashion house DZHUS has designed a very boxy- Grace Jones-ish collection that looks all sorts of industrial-in-a-drab-communist-country sort of way. Origami with paper is pretty challenging, so with fabric, it must be a huge pain in the ass. That’s why I give DZHUS (sounds like a chemical compound, doesn’t it?) …

Japanese brand Undercover showed their Fall 2013 collection in Paris with their models in bunny masks and garments with rib cages and innards printed on them. In other words, it was my kind of show. I do have to say the bunny ear thing is a little played out. I mean, when …
