comme des garcons homme plus fw11
Continuing on her project of creating things that haven’t been created before, Rei puts out a collection of fresh volumes thrown in with classic comme touches. I must admit the patterns and silk used gratuitously in the collection are not doing anything for me, but there is no lack of covetable pieces.

ai weiwei's studio razed
Chinese Authorities Raze an Artist’s Studio  BEIJING — The studio would have stood at the heart of an embryonic arts cluster on the outskirts of Shanghai, a draw for luminaries from around the world. It took two years to build, and one day to tear down. An order to raze the studio — designed by Ai Weiwei, a protean artist who is one of the most outspoken critics of the Chinese Communist...

YOU'VE BEEN VERBED →
From INTELLIGENT LIFE Magazine, Winter 2010 Mothers and fathers used to bring up children: now they parent. Critics used to review plays: now they critique them. Athletes podium, executives flipchart, and almost everybody Googles. Watch out—you’ve been verbed. The English language is in a constant state of flux. New words are formed and old ones fall into disuse. But no trend has been more...

Rei Kawakubo on the Record
Rei Kawakubo always aims to push the limits. The mind behind Comme des Garçons and one of fashion’s most influential and reclusive figures says that with each collection she is out to create something totally new — a goal that is becoming harder and harder the longer she is in fashion. And that is just one of the many provocative admissions Kawakubo made during a rare interview pegged to...

zucchini soufflé
A recent encounter with a unexpectedly delicious zucchini pancake at a restaurant piqued my interest in this vegetable that I had previously dismissed as lacking in flavour, especially with it being used as the flavour defining element in the dish. The success of the dish lies in combining (and enhacing) the mild green flavour of the vegetable with the heartiness of a starchy and cheesy base.  ...

takahiromiyashita thesoloIst x oliver peoples
As someone who has an aversion to contact lenses, I’m always on the look out for great eyewear. This line of frames, a collaboration between Takahiro Miyashita’s TheSoloist and Oliver peoples, makes a leap from the now ubiquitous plastic frames, taking classic Oliver Peoples shapes and splicing them into new combinations and crafting them in a deep amber tortoise shell with beautiful...
