Giles Deacon does pac-man for SS09

Giles Deacon does pac-man

This is not the first time, fashion designer Giles Deacon does the 80’s Pac Man games in his Spring/Summer 2009 collection. In his Spring/Summer 2009, the models came storming down the runway in odd Pac Man helmets, or the Pac Man embroidered dress (eating a pill) on Jessica Stam. Cool! I love his design.

YMCA Gym into Apartment

theapt YMCA Gym into Apartment

It sounds hard, but the Apartment, an interior design agency, pulled it off. They completely converted a 7,000 square-foot YMCA gym into a beautiful 5 bedroom apartment building. Every aspect of the apartment is stunning, from the vibrant colors to the detailed wallpaper and carpets. This impressive building even has an indoor garden and a 12 person theater.

Australian editor turned designer, Kym Ellery, probably learned a lot from her time as market editor at Russh Magazine taking note of what Editors want to see. She translated this knowledge into her on line dubbed Ellery.  Elleryland.com just launched featuring a few images of her various lines which exude an urban, rock, chic combination that delivers some uber glam items (particularly those studded leggings).

Too cool for school: L’ecole Des Femmes

LA based label L’ecole Des Femmes’ new collection is amazing: Minnie Mouse ears, prom dresses and skinny ties mix up white blouses and denim shorts.

Now in its third season, the ‘School of Women’ has come a long way from its origins. The label was “conceived in the back seat of a black convertible spider in 1962 by Georgette Malbesee and Jean Pierre Lachemescouilles through the cold smoke of a pair of unfiltered cigarettes.”

With s/s 09 its best collection to date, the label is set to stay.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Celebrity disc jockey DJ AM has been released from a Georgia hospital after suffering severe burns in a fiery plane crash a week ago, a spokeswoman for the musician said Friday.

“While he is deeply saddened by the events he is thankful for all of the love and support he has been receiving from fans and friends,” spokeswoman Jenni Weinman said in a statement.

I just found these photos from a recent editorial of Oyster Magazine and I just had to post them because the style reminded so much of my friends Marylouise Pels and Vanessa Giovacchini over at Posso the Spat. Its that superhero meets space creature in the most historic urban habitat vibe protrayed here in this shoot that the Possos manifest here in L.A. The only thing missing in this shoot is some spats.

The founders of nerdbots are oddly obsessed with all things robot, married couple Nicholas and Angela from Kansas City, Missouri, decided on a whim one day to do nothing other than to build one themselves.
