FASHIONABLE SWEDES
2006-07-25 06:10:35



Furniture isn't the only thing that the Swedes do well, at least that's what new Swedish design label Ulterior Motive want us to believe. The new men's accessories label offers an alternative, fashion-oriented take on such classic pieces as neck ties and cuff links. The cool range is more at home on young hipsters than, say, your accountant or tax lawyer. And that, founder Hakan Bruce says, is exactly the way he likes it. by Billy T

FASHION HOTELS
2006-06-20 23:18:59




Fashion wants to colonize the worlds it seems. Not content with just dressing us, some brands are fast moving moving into the hotel business. Apart from Versace, Armani & Bulgari - Byblos is now making waves with its stunning Art Hotel Villa Amista in Italy. Byblos owner Dino Facchini teamed up with Milan architect and designer Alessandro Mendini on the project which saw the major restoration of a fifteenth-century Venetian villa in the heart of Valpolicella wine country. A deeply personal project for Facchini, the hotel showcases his impressive art collection. The interiors are a sexy mix of styles, from baroque to pop art and techno futurism.

Missoni is next in line to conquer the fashion business. Missoni, which has a successful home furnishings collection, has signed a worldwide licensing agreement with Rezidor SAS Hospitality, a Belgian hotel chain. The agreement will see the development of 30 Hotel Missonis, scheduled for completion by 2010. by Billy T

 


STREET STYLE
2006-05-20 19:00:53



Forget what the designers say, most trends emerge not from their studios but organically from the street. Cool young things all over the world are the true pioneers of fashion, wearing clothes in new ways by customizing and accessorizing and creating a pastiche of retro and modern. Coolhunter's Paris correspondent, Yvan Rodic, has been so inspired by the street fashion in his native city that he's started to document it in his own blog, facehunter.blogspot.com. And he's not the only one. Street style blogs have popped up all over the world, from London to Helsinki, New York, Shanghai, Moscow and Berlin, featuring pics of the what the cool kids are wearing right now. We can hear fashion's top designer's book-marking the blogs right now. by Lisa Evans

WHIRLPOOL - pret-a-porter
2006-04-04 13:30:00



Who needs the dry cleaner when you can own your own pret-a-porter? Made by Whirlpool, pret-a-porter is a clever new device that de-wrinkles, deodorizes, and gentle dries your clothes in your home. It's an instant pick me up for your clothes when they're not dirty, just in desperate need of revitalization after too many outings in sweaty, smoke filled bars and clubs. 

With the touch of a button odors are removed via a dry steam system. All you need is a cup of water. The compact little unit is the size of a vacuum cleaner and is also mobile. To mark the launch Whirlpool commissioned British designer Antonio Berardi to create a range of one off pieces, plus a limited edition of leather pret-a-porter cases, which make the pret-a-porter look more like a very swanky piece of luggage. All Whirlpool needs now is to throw a party in a sweaty, smoke filled night club so we've got a good excuse to wheel out the pret-a-porter. It will be available from Septemeber. by Lisa Evans

THE KEYBOARD BAG
2005-11-13 23:40:00


 
The designer handbag has long been a symbol of status and fashionability. Each season a new style hits the catwalks, turning intelligent grown women into wanton I'll-do-anything-to-get-it and I-don't-care-what-it-costs strategists. But before you rush out to Dior/Fendi/Burberry et al, check out the Key Bag, which comes completely left of field. The ultimate in quirky techno-cool, the keybag is made entirely out of computer keyboard keys. The bag was invented by Portuguese industrial designer Jo Sabino and comes in black and white. by Lisa Evans
