You don’t need to be Bruce Lee to rock the Year of the Dragon Swatch watch. Decked in Chinese-style blue and white porcelain with a nifty dragon print, it’s the perfect wrist candy to synchronize to in 2012, the year of the dragon.
New Fashion / Versalette garment by {r}evolution Apparel
January 12, 2012 | New Fashion | by Nicole Trilivas |
As a lifelong traveler, the Versalette was my favorite Christmas present. Adjustable to be worn in over fifteen styles, including as a bag, beach cover-up, and headscarf, the single garment Versalette came into fruition via the fine folks at Kickstarter, and is crafted with 100 percent locally sourced recycled materials. Minimalism and variety finally meet.

New Fashion / Spine armour jewelry by Eero Hintsanen
January 12, 2012 | New Fashion | by Low Lai Chow |
Finnish jewelry designer Eero Hintsanen is probably more known for his eco-inspired Chao and Eero Jewel creations. I prefer his personal works, which tend to be darker. His Armour collection really runs with the theme of materialising your inner strength for protection. A standout piece is the spine, which makes a statement in an elegantly understated way.

New Fashion / Unique tote bags from Ibiza
January 3, 2012 | New Fashion | by Monja Black |
On my last trip to the beautiful party island of Ibiza last summer, I discovered a label named Bonk Ibiza which represents handmade bags. This version of tote bag is by far the most stylish and unique I’ve seen. The special thing about it is that it’s not only the specific print, but also the braided carriers: powerful fluoro colors make it innovative and desirable. So far these bags are available only in Ibiza’s clothing store, More, but they can now be ordered online as well. Read more

Fred Butler has made a few things for me and I love how much fun and colour there is in her work. This video if for her new collection. She is definitely worth Google image searching.
New Fashion / Beautiful dresses by Katie Louise Ford
January 2, 2012 | New Fashion | by Lilian Darmono |
I was on the hunt for the perfect red swing dress, when I first came across Katie Louise Ford’s work. Her gorgeous dresses are inspired by classic children’s books, and the sweetly nostalgic era of the forties and fifties. I also love her blog, filled with lots of gorgeous things that inspire her, some unusual dressmaking projects, and lovely photography. Read more

|
Newcastle-based artist Sophia Flegg is the talent behind the newly hatched Crooked Teeth Club. The label’s first collection boasts a range of one-off, hand-painted and dyed t-shirts and singlets.
We asked London-based photographer, Julia Fullerton-Batten, about her use of non-traditional models for her work: ‘I used to approach unknown people on the streets in London and ask them to take part in my photo shoots. There are so many fascinating faces accompanied with wonderful personalities around. The freshness that street cast models have, has also benefited my work immeasurably. I now don’t have the time to find the amateur models myself. But I hire a producer to source models for me’. Read more
Yes, Paul McCartney wrote most eloquently of the Long and Winding Road, but even he would have amazed at the twisting, cavorting majesty of the roads revealed in these photos. Read more
Rarely is a film politically poignant as well as wonderfully written, acted and shot. The second feature from director Kimberly Peirce of Boys Don’t Cry was inspired by her brother, who joined the army, and was only possible after months of meticulous research. Read more

Based in the Netherlands, Rajacenna draws the most brilliantly hyper-realistic pencil portraits of celebrities we’ve seen. What’s even more impressive is that she’s completely self-taught. Damn! Now, where the hell is my pencil sharpener? Read more
The pan flutes can get a little much, but I still really like Mariee Sioux debut studio album Faces in the Rocks. I’m hoping she has a new album in the works. Listen to her cover of the Cure’s Love Song below.

Ok, so I’m wearing this sweater right now. How could I not. The damn thing shares the same name as me. Well, kinda. My parents threw in an ‘o’ into my name just to confuse the life out of people. But that’s a whole another story. The Zoltan is comfortable, soft, and colorful. It has ‘no fortune-telling capabilities’, but the ‘lightweight progressive color stripe scheme has an undeniably funky 70s vibe’. And it does. Yeeha. Now, where the hell is my bell bottoms and Grateful Dead vinyl?
