While you'd think it'd be someplace like Barneys or Bergdorf's, it's actually Oscar de la Renta in NYC that holds the title, with their average customer leaving the shop spending around…

Brandversations

                  Pepsi vs Coca Cola

Stefan Asafti's project where a company's logo is made up of smaller logos of its nearest rival. Asafti also switched out the slogans of the brands amongst themselves. Why? In his words, "to give them further meaning and to create a sort of a confusion."

Wedding Dresses Made from Balloons

Insanely talented Japanese artist Rie Hosokai is taking balloon twisting away from kids parties and into high fashion. The handmade dresses start at US$2,000, which can seem a little hefty when you consider the balloons will start to deflate after twenty four hours.

Apparently the price tag hasn’t deterred brides to be: more than twenty orders have been placed for…

Homage to Harper's Bazaar

Shoelosophy notes: It is not often that I am so intrigued by the shoe selection of a single editorial, as I am with the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. The shoes are magnificent, to say the least. I have managed to identify the various brands for my shoelosophy friends.

So Cute!

Dogs are fun. Dogs shaking to dry themselves are even more fun. And when that shaking is caught on freeze frame, it’s like a veritable party. Thank you, Carli Davidson, for capturing these friendly mutts in the midst of a most satisfying dry off.

Ard's the rule not the exception

No - not Art, as in "arts and culture", but Ard as in Mr Mumble Matthews who slightly slaughtered our national anthem live on TV before the full Springbok squad.
