creative t-shirt prints

Less is more...Sometimes designers pick the hardest way to reveal their imagination and creativity : Complicated print designs with too much color and messy shapes. However, they can be clear and ingenious at the same time. Below t-shirts are all from Spring/Summer '09 collections of designers and they are just very pretty as well as being simple.

Yves Saint Laurent: Little hint about this tee, you can combine it with the YSL tote bag with the same print on ;)

Marc by Marc Jacobs: We have a little hint about this tee as well; how about a combination of Miss Marc tee with Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes. ?

Sonia Rykel , knee length cute socks continue being "in" also in hot summer days ;)

Lanvin, ooohhh I loved this one!!! Very hip...

yves saint laurent patent cage low boots

Shoe designers are expanding the limits of their creativity. These cage boots reminded me the 3D designs in CAD programs. As if we will render the mesh soon...I am really curious to know the material. It has to be durable and stiff as well as being soft and comfortable...It might cost 1100 Euros to find the answer out:)

Christmas eve lunch of Beckhams

David and Victoria Beckham were photograped with their boys at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in London for a Christmas Eve Lunch.

All family members look super chic and formal. Victoria Beckham looks very artificial though. Ok, I admit she's not my favorite :/

paintings on keds

Shoe-mania is equal to turning shoes into an art object in points of view. Recent shoes designs are all very creative and artistic, but these inspiring and sculpture-like shoes are generally high heels and stilettos. Turning Keds to an art object is like turning a canvas to a painting. Collaboration between Keds and Gen Art aims both to increase creativity on Keds and digging the talent in young and creative artists. Anne Faith Nichols and Caia Koopman designs are just limited edition, so if you loved them as much we did, you have to hurry up! Considering that each pair cost only $60, it's just an affordable way of buying an art ;)

will Brooke Shields ever age?

I know her since I was a little kid. With her long, flowing hair and big eyes, she was just gorgeous in movie called "Blue Lagoon". Below photos in Vanity Fair Italy's December 2008 issue prove that Brooke Shileds actually didn't get old at all!!! Well, it's obvious that tricks of Photoshop has been used quite a bit to edit her photos, however that doesn't change the fact that she is still young and beautiful at age 43.

H&M Store in Barcelona

The new H&M shop is found in the most commercial street of Barcelona, Portal de l’Àngel, in the building, which is listed, is a vestige of the bourgeois architecture from the end of the 19th century, and is the work of Domènech Estapà, an architect who was opposed to the Modernista movement and more inclined towards a neo-classical style.

Although architectural style of the building created difficulties in complying with the heritage regulations, working on a huge space designed to be the offices of a company and converting it to a store where modern and contemporary, young people would do shopping based on the latest trends was a good opportunity to extend the personal horizons of the designers.

The result is unique and a worthy experience for the shoppers. Combination of old and new, past and present was melted successfully in a pot. This store looks more well designed and elegant than the other stores of H&M that I have been to. Such stores with high quality and image, collaborations with famous designers are getting more and more in H&M. Maybe H&M has already realised that people don't want to buy just cheap but also request a quality experience from the retailers, therefore getting more upscale.

If you are interested in the design process of this store, you can read the full story at:
