the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction

Yeah, it's been quite windy in London lately. I have to catch up on some sleep since I've been up all night and all day for the past week or so, finishing a project. BUT! Hopefully soon I'll add something on the blog.

Working on sumthin.

See Oliver's "work ethic"?
No time for bloggin' cuz we signed up for a competition across unis to make a short film in 5 days, but its more like two days since most of the time I am in lectures.
If the film works out okayish I'll show you ;)

My favourite try out of locations

Summer travels. Paris. France.

So about Le Corbusier and my thoughts about the villa?

Summer travels. Porto. Portugal.

After a few hours of standing somewhere on a roundabout in Coimbra a Russian couple stopped to take us! We made it to Porto and even saw Aveiro on the way. 

wish list from the wish list

I am quite late since LDF was about 2 weeks ago, but I still want to share my favourites. At V&A there was this exhibition called The Wish List. Sir Terennce Conran asked ten leading designers to come up with their wish, an object that they had always wanted but never found. The project marries the excitement of design with the skill and challenge of making. It embraces traditional craft and woodworking but also pushes the boundaries of what it it possible to do with wood - in this case American hardwood.

Summer travels. Peniche. Portugal.

So we get off a bus in this PARADISE and the driver says, the third longboard is yours too, no? We look at each other like, what the hell? Then this surfer gets off the bus too, looking pretty much the same as us with a huge backpack. We had a little chat with him, discovered he's Danish and that he basically traveled like half of Portugal and Spain plus had a longboard session with his friends going down the Pyrenees mountains. Until that point I felt like a proud, young backpacker, but damn he made me want to keep on traveling.

Why Wang? because Alexander fucking Wang.

Why do I even bother?
mumbling about this designer?

because I admire his work and I am super-exited about his upcoming collaboration. (saving up in a glass jar)

While other designers try to be high/end and "classy" he is not afraid to take an inspiration from the streets, from downtown New York style, with slouchy tees and layered dresses. His signature was many times described as "model off-duty", but there is more than that. There's this urban street style feel from the 80’s hip-hop and the 70’s chic style.

When I discovered him a long long time ago he did a collaboration with uniqlo and that when I started following up on his collections. He got quite famous when he introduced the stud-bottomed Rocco bag. This bag was massive and every celebrity had to have one. I think he even won a few awards for it.

The collab with H&M>
It's heavily sport-themed, no colour, lots of  'Wang'

What do I mean by that?

Leather boxing shorts, skin-tight crop tops, leggings, croc effect, and sheer stripe detailing
