Re-Found
Found on my hard drive under "Confessions of a Cell Phone"
Fun times @ my previous job...
Mind you, we were playing with ultra strong toiled paper and experimenting with Star War-ish hairdos, oh and some photoshopping...

I bumped on these cool 60s posters while browsing some cool images on flikr...
Given my special feelings for Chicago, I loved the first two (especially the plainness and dynamic minimalism which renders the second one). I also found the effectiveness of communication in the third one was so spot-on...
Ahh... concepts were so minimal & effective in the 60s...

Iz thiz a zuperman zpoof?
No, actually, it’s my heartburn/indigestion medication and I just have a thing for embossed/beveled typography...
I had to take some pictures of these plastic-fantastic Kartell shoes today for a mini-project. I love their curves and the way everything reflects on their glossy surface...
It’s amazing what you can come across on the freeway everyday. And these in the same day; the first one in the morning and the other one in the afternoon, thus the different light and colors...
I titled them “Carry Me Away” and “Hold Me Tight” respectively.
To my great surprise I recently found out that Bravo nodded positively to the realization of a new docuseries, titledDouble Exposure,which will follow the daily lives of Markus Klinko & Indrani, the New York based photography duo.
Too bad we have to wait until 2010 to see it...

One of my new favorite bloggers, Tina Roth Eisenberg, a.k.a.SwissMiss, talks about design & blogging...
And I conclude with a question:What do they eat up there in Sweden to grow so design-conscious and style-aware?
I am shamelessly loving all things pop & cheesy!
Naturally, one would very correctly expect me to like Britney’s Circus and Lady Gaga’s The Fame...
Yep! Lovin’ them both...
I will be honest here, I did not watch all the shows of last week’s 3rd Cyprus Fashion Week. I just saw five of them and the rest of it through pictures and videos in the press.
As much as cypriot fashion designers tried to pull off high-standard fashion shows, only a few of them succeeded in doing so. Kika Ioannidou, Complice - Stalo Theodorou, Ramona Filip, and Elena Stongyliotou (shown above) are some of the very few who managed to showcase a cohesive body of work in an adequate manner.
Elena Strongyliotou’s show was such a huge hit, that the room was over-capacitated (if such a word exists) and there was a prolonged delay at the start of the show because of the crowd flow...
About the clothes:
Elena’s latest line is somewhat reminiscent, if not echoing, of her previous one, original nevertheless: Highly detailed garments, rendered by unusual cuts, folds and seams, made of rigidly flowing fabrics, leather, and short-haired fur. The color scheme, in my opinion, is just gorgeous. An eloquent play of earthy colors with brown, naturally, being the basic, if not main, color.
