Humans of New York
In a heaping pile of fashion blogs all over the world, it is most interesting to find one that catches you off guard. Humans of New York is not your run-of-the-mill fashion blog–in fact, blog per se. Sure, I love my daily dose of Rumi Neely and her endless parade of designer garb, but this blog [...]
Campbell’s Soup Pays Homage to Andy Warhol
What sane human being doesn’t love Campbell soup? If you don’t already, here’s a reason for you to start loving the kitchen staple. September 2nd marked the release of their limited-edition repackaged Tomato soup cans, that pay tribute to Andy Warhol‘s iconic pop art-take on the product decades ago. On the grocery racks for $.75, this is ‘life [...]
McDonald’s France x Patrick Nourguet
Paris-based industrial designer Patrick Norguet has recently been commissioned by McDonald’s France to create ceramic cups for their new line of roasted coffees. Now considering how eco-friendly it is to reuse pretty coffee cups such as these, I can’t help but give cred to the fastfood chain for coming up with this clever idea. We’d [...]
New Facebook Headquarters Underway
Architect Frank Gehry is planning the expansion of the new headquarter offices of Facebook. The company won’t tell how much the project will cost but says it’s consistent with the local office-park norm. 83-year-old Gehry confessed that he is not a Facebook user but enjoys working with his 28 year old client and co-founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg. The buildings design is [...]
Moulton Bike Company
They say that the hardest thing to think of when writing an essay is the first sentence. I disagree. The hardest thing about writing an essay is to find something to actually write about substantially. The modern commuter is not bound by oil prices and mechanized vehicles anymore. There is now a movement of commuters willing [...]
The Art Of Kawayan De Guia in The Ben Cab Museum
I am not an art critic. Nor do I like writing about art. But I will openly talk about something that inspires me. In a recent trip to the Ben Cab Museum (which i must say is a wonderful place), I expected to see the works of the National Artist himself, Ben Cab, which I did. [...]
Arran Gregory’s “WOLF”
I’m not a fan of wild, possibly violent animals, but I think for this time only I can make an exception. London-based artist Arran Gregory exhibits his latest collection of work, “WOLF“, over at London’s Print House Gallery. Gregory shows his interpretation of wildlife through life-sized rhino and wolf sculptures, as well as heavily-detailed drawings. [...]
Patricia Field Uncovered
As The Coveteur came out with an inside look on Patricia Field‘s urban home, I was left reminiscing her great works throughout Hollywood fashion history. The costume designer and stylist made an impression on most of us fashion-fazed, one way or another. I admit, a major reason why I would watch Sex and The City over and over again would be [...]
ANALOG SIGNALS: VIDEO RECAP / Kids Version 1990
Ah… to be young in the 90′s . Manila was confused. Still hung over from the 80′s in terms of fashion, but slowly reinventing itself and quickly embracing Western civilization faster than you can say ‘white-wash’. I was a kid then, so all my memories of the decade were not of politics (well, maybe a [...]
Up-and-coming: Adrian Gonzales
There’s an unbelievable slew of world-class, homegrown talent today. But what makes it all the more unreal is the fact that most of them are young. Take up-and-coming photographer Adrian Gonzales as an example. At 23, the UP Diliman graduate has made a thunderous presence in the industry with his high-brow taste and take on [...]
