Style: Stack ‘Em High
- story THE FADER
Sometimes when we’re out running to appointments we stop to take a breather. That breather usually lands smack dab in the middle of street vendor haven where we stock up on fancy bangles and beads on the cheap. On most days a single bangle or two finishes off an outfit, but recently we’ve been stacking an added one or two to our furnished wrists, edging towards a tower of bulbous metal bands. Check out what we mean after the jump.
Eley Kishimoto’s Oversized World
- story THE FADER
Remember in Alice and Wonderland when she gets really small after eating a magic mushroom? Well, things got similarly psychedelic in London over the weekend at the 2008 Festival of Architecture, where designers of British label Eley Kishimoto outfitted the fountain court at Somerset House in an experimental over-sized living room set. With design group Studio Weave, Eley Kishimoto helped create an outdoor room of tables, chairs, and lamps out of pink geometric patterned plywood. The instillation gives people a reason to enjoy public space, to feel at home in it, and maybe even take a snooze, which is probably what Alice would have done after all those pretty color traces subsided. Check the process photos after the jump.
Stylee Fridays: Eley Kishimoto
- story THE FADER
All fun fashion-making aside, Mark Eley and Makako Kishimoto of Eley Kishimoto are possibly the most bad ass couple in fashion, simply because these two manage to tumble around, get into gumball races, keep the business ticking over without killing each other and still make it home in time to look after their two lovely kids (you can see more of their antics on their blog).
