Not unlike watching the intricate blooming of a flower, this series of images by Jan Welters, explore the technical study of how fabric can be manipulated to create shape and give form. via Fashionation (http://www.fashion-ation.net) Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:58:00 +0100 http://www.thecoolhunter.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1338&Itemid=11 Welcome to Fashionation, an alternative fashion universe where fashionistas, photographers and creatives can get their weekly fix of the best fashion editorial from around world.

We're loving this Italian range watches, amusingly dubbed the "Toy Watch" (http://www.toy-watch.it/) which comes in blindingly bright selection of primary and fluro colors. (http://www.toywatchusa.com) So enamored are we that we're predicting that the Toy Watch could be the new Rayban Wayferer.If its presence on the streets on London is anything to go by (it's on the wrist of every second hipster in West London), world domination can only be imminent.

Hard to believe, we know, given that every hipster from Hobart to Helsinki is sporting licorice legs right now but the tide is slowly turning, thanks to the world's top designers who have decided that they've had enough of the look. Enter Prada, (http://www.prada.com) who are still setting global trends and leading the way in true fashion innovation, despite being a global mega brand (which usually spells one thing: boring). The brilliant fashion house is on a mission to bring back seriously voluminous "flares," but with a fabulous signature quirky Prada twist in the form of lavish fabrication and intricate prints. Not for the faint-fashion hearted. Still with Prada, parts of their beautiful new shoe collection look as if they have slipped straight out of a Salvador Dali painting or some other strange alternative universe where there are no design rules. We love the decorative heels, which look more like pieces of grand, hand-carved furniture than a pair of pumps. They're almost too good to wear. by Lisa Evans Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:44:55 +0100 http://www.thecoolhunter.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1329&Itemid=11 Collaborations are the way forward now in a rapidly changing fashion landscape. Everyone from high-street retailers right through to smaller, niche labels are collaborating with interesting creatives from all disciplines in an effort to bring a bit of true individuality, exclusivity and authenticity back into fashion. French label Surface 2 Air Paris (http://surface2airparis.com/store/retail/market/collection-13/style-23.html) has taken a unique approach to the concept by collaborating with cult French dance music outfit Justice (music/Justice---D.A.N.C.E/) to produce a mini collection. Epitomizing the personal style of Justice members, the collection includes 2 worn-in biker-style leather jackets, which are fitted to the body, in keeping with the “super-skinny” silhouette still favored by most hipsters around the world. Jeans are also part of the collection, which, you guessed it….are super skinny. The result is a hot look but one that requires the long-term abstinence from traditional French staples - cheese and croissants. Ah…what we do for fashion.

Arriving in Dover Street Market (http://www.doverstreetmarket.com/) (London) on 15th May – the Pierre Hardy special limited edition ‘Cruzeiro’ in metallic calfskin (above) and below, the must-have terry toweling inspired sneaker by Japanese brand realMadHectic - the Pile.

Here's a tease. (Launch date: 2 July, we promsise)Fashionation (http://www.fashion-ation.net) Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:30:07 +0100 http://www.thecoolhunter.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1219&Itemid=11 If you carry a Blackberry, iPod or iPhone, do you have to look like you have no style at all? Cute accessory bags are fine for weekend hiking trips, just like boring “businesslike” cases are fine for, well, boring people, but for the power lunch with the merger guys or cocktails in high places, you’ll want this bag made of gold python-print Italian leather. Grab you platinum credit cards, a few large bills, your well-traveled passport, and your ever-present favorite device/s — there’s a slot for each in this baby — and you are set. The bags are hand-made in Spain, the internal lining is satin and the color options are gold and black. Oh, and you need to decide if you’d prefer python or rattler. Of course, you could choose the chic creamy-soft lamb but isn’t that a bit too tame? The gold python Blackberry Purse is available exclusivey through the cool hunter. How much you ask? US$390. Order through bill@thecoolhunter.net (bill@thecoolhunter.net).

For others, it is an accessory, a piece of serious bling, a reflection of status. And for the owners of an Urwek (http://www.urwerk.com/watches_200.asp), their timepiece is an example of “traditional haute horologie for the 21st century.” Urwerk partners, Swiss watchmaker Felix Baumgartner and designer Martin Frei, draw inspiration from far and near — from NASA spaceships and the father of English watchmaking, Thomas Tompion (1639–1713) — and many things in between. The result is an astonishing collection of timepieces starring Urwerk 201 with its Revolving Satellite Complication (what’s that? you ask) and its Control Board inspired by the gauges of a sport car. The Board alerts the wearer to Oil Change (service), 100 Year Plus (the world's first horological odometer) and Fine Tuning that lets you adjust the timepiece “for your specific lifestyle.” Does it tell the time? Yes. That’s what the Revolving Satellite Complication does, but you need to read the instructions to figure out how. By Tuija Seipell.
