“LucyandBart is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess described as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. Unconsciously their work touches upon these themes, however it is not their intention to communicate this. They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement.”

Found these captivating images from the Prada Lookbook during my morning tea break.
Yes, these wigs are for your kitty, or perhaps your little doggie too. Kitty Wigs is the brainchild of Julie Jackson, (with help from Boone, her “Siamese partner in crime”), and has lead to the book Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs, filled with adorable kitty wig photography, shot by Jill Johnson:
Glamourpuss presents 60 stylish portraits showcasing furry models in the most fetching custom-made cat wigs ever created. The chic felines in this delightfully odd book answer the age-old question: what on earth do cats do all day? Make no bones about it—these utterly fashionable minxes are the hottest pet trend since cats in hats!

I love the wicked-cool design of these posters, created for the Nordic Fashion Biennale. The first one was held last spring in Reykjavík, Iceland with a focus on west-Nordic fashion from Iceland, Greenland, and the Faeroe Islands, with over 60 participating designers, artists, and musicians from all over the world. I am a real sucker for Icelandic design sensibility, and I fell in love with many of the designs from the show straight away. Plus I love the unity of the graphic identity—from the website’s animated birds that swoop down to land on the mannequins, to the typography and stunning iconic posters—everything seemed to match the feel of the flowing garments perfectly, some of which loosely resembled the abstract forms of wings and feathers. Can’t wait to see what’s coming up for the next show!
These beautiful designs were created by Nikki Salk and Amy Flurry. The Paper Cut Project showcases paper art such as these exquisitely styled paper hairdos, which can be seen on display in Jeffrey NY and Jeffrey Atlanta stores.
