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...

Cool 60s Posters

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...

Plastic Shoetastic

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...

Freeway Series: Car Affairs

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.

Expose Me Twice

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...

Swiss Miss Talks "Blog"


swissmiss presenting at Pecha Kucha NYC | March 2009 from swissmiss on Vimeo.

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 ♥ Cheesy #1

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...

CFW³ Show-Stopper

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.
