Why?

“There is no perfect design

and there is no über-design.

Objects talk to us personally.

Some might be more functional

than others, and the emotional

attachment is very individual.

This exhibition will showcase

a very personal way of collecting

and gathering objects –

these are pieces that tell a tale.”

Fashion | THE NORTH FACE CAPSULE COLLECTION FW 2014

Good design is a kind of utopia that mixes in a perfect balance beauty and functionality.

To be honest, it is not so easy to find proper examples.  Try to think about it.  Sometimes you get something beautiful but simply useless,  sometimes you find the right functionalism, but the ugliest design.

Good design is the first thing we thought, as soon as we put our eyes on the fantastic  result of the collaboration between The North Face and TU GLAM Studio.

TU GLAM, a design and consulting agency based in Modena – Italy,

was asked to design three Capsule Collection for The North Face.

These three Collections (Heritage Capsule, Mountain Capsule and Urban Modern Capsule) were presented during the FW14 PITTI In Florence, last January.

They are a perfect mix between Heritage and modern living. The final result is a line of clothes that have all the technology features you expect a North Face item to have, twisted with an unexpected modern approach, for the contemporary man, who travels around the world and doesn't want to feel uncomfortable. Never ever.

We really like them. In particular we love the obsession that Tu Glam put on the details, respecting the original Archive by North Face. 

Well done, guys.

Books | Hiroshi Fujiwara by Rizzoli

The 1st of April 2014 Rizzoli USA will be releasing a book dedicated to Hiroshi Fujiwara.

It will contain contributions by Eric Clapton, Mark Parker, Nigo, Jean Touitou and Sarah Lerfel.

About This Book

The first monograph on the "godfather of streetwear," this book pays homage to Hiroshi Fujiwara's influence on contemporary fashion, music, and design. The most comprehensive book devoted to the extensive work of Hiroshi Fujiwara-a pioneer in streetwear, music, and art, and the ultimate arbiter of cool. Known internationally as one of the founding fathers of Tokyo's Harajuku scene, Fujiwara exerts a disproportionate influence over contemporary design culture. Having collaborated with the likes of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood as a teenager in the early 1980s, he merged a seminal interest in punk with hip-hop and skate culture to become one of Japan's principal tastemakers. A musician and producer, Fujiwara is also one of the most prolific sneaker designers, and his kicks are some of the most sought-after collectibles. In addition to his very visible and long-standing collaborations with Nike, he has authored a number of fashion lines and is at the head of the Tokyo-based Fragment Design.

Chronicling his reign as the arbiter of hip for more than thirty years, this book presents the breadth of his career, including sections on his highly sought-after artwork and graphics, sneakers, product design, and curated personal effects. With an introduction by friend and collaborator Eric Clapton and contributions by Mark Parker, Jean Touitou, Nigo, and Sarah Lerfel, this graphically inspired book provides a unique glimpse into one of the most influential tastemakers of our time and is the perfect follow-up to Rizzoli'sPharrell: Places and Spaces I've Been.

I can't wait to put my hands on it.
