How To Get Shot By The Sartorialist

Posted by Cath

The Sartorialist is one of the most famous fashion blogs on the internet and has been listed by Time Magazine as one of the Top 100 Design Influencers. People who are featured on the site become fashion royalty.

However, given that the website has become so famous there has been a bit of critical commentary about the trends that The Sartorialist spotlights. Below is a funny interpretation by Christene Barberich, Piera Gelardi and Joshua Covarrubias of how you can ensure you are featured on the The Sartorialist.

Where The Wild Things Are

Posted by Cath

Where The Wild Things Are is a famous children’s book by Maurice Sendak. The film adaptation of the book that is being released soon looks astounding. The people working on it are phenomenal. Spike Jonze is the director, who also penned the screenplay with Dave Eggers, and to top it off Yeah Yeah Yeah’s front woman Karen O is in charge of musical direction. Check out the trailer.

Lego House

Posted by Cath

You may know James May from the BBC television series Top Gear. What you may not know is that he is an avid toy fanatic. It seems his youthful nature has run rampant with his latest project to build a house made entirely of Lego. The result is a colourful two-storey colourful comprised of more that 816 million Lego pieces. That is pretty impressive.

Don’t be a peanut

Posted by Cath

This concept design by Noémie Cotton won first prize at the 2007 Young Package award in the Czech Republic . One compartment holds the nuts, the second is to dispose of the discarded shells. Very clever.
