Things are heating up in Milan’s fashion week this year. Hot off her Oscar fame is the girl of the moment none other than Freida Pinto alongside Scarlett Johnansson at the Dolce & Gabana show. Both strutted their stuff on the runway for the Italian fashion house.
Below is a quick link to view the Palm Pre on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The best part is when….Love of the Roots starts geekin’. Personally I’m an iPhone user and I was quite impressed with this outing from Palm.
Multiple Tour de France winner and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong recently presented a special version of his TREK Madone, customized by familiar artist KAWS. Unveiled at Nike’s Montalban Theater, the bike features KAWS’ signature “chomper” teeth pattern which is applied on the bike frame and bike rims. Lance will be utilizing this bike at the upcoming Milan-San Remo Cycle Race which is held in Italy every year. The bike also marks the beginning of the “Stages” art campaign which was launched in association with the LIVESTRONG foundation’s fight against cancer. Stay tune for my artist profile on KAWS.
WXY design studio just put on the finishing touches on the ultra uber tech haven that is the New York City Visitor Center. With the fusion on Microsoft’s Surface technology and Apple store influences, this place will put the world at you fingertips or at least Manhattan.
Amongst the so called recession, one area seems to be booming which is testament to the times. The House of Kiton based out of Naples, Italy, best known for its bespoke style of tailoring of custom suits are setting up shop in Sak’s Fifth Ave. of New York. The fashion house limits itself to under 20,000 pieces with an aresenal of 250 master tailors each spending close 45 hours on each suit. With that much man power behind these garments, the price can get steep real fast. With suits starting 7,000 USD and ranging all the way up to 15,000 USD its not a purchase but rather an investment.
