BIRDY NAM NAM - THE PARACHUTE ENDING - CLIP OFFICIEL

The Dazed August issue went back to the 80s for otherworldly fashion that looked towards the quiet legends that have been making an impact on fashion for decades without people realising it. Dutch designer Maria Blaisse is one of those legends. She began in the early 80s' by creating spherical foam forms that moulded and folded in ways that were revolutionary at the time and she worked primarily in dance wear where she is still breaking new ground today. Blaisse then went on to collaborate with Issey Miyake for whom she made mitre-like rubber hats. For the August issue, Karen Langley was inspired by Blaisse's work and re-interpreted her sculptural feats with the help of set designer Gary Card and photographer Jason Kibbler. We speak to Blaisse to see what she makes of the reinterpretation and how her work still permeates fashion today.

THE TEMPER TRAP

Estos chicos australianos, de esa bonita ciudad llamada Melbourne, se dieron a conocer hace tiempo gracias a una canción: “Sweet Disposition”… Desde entonces muchos esperaban su primer disco como agua de mayo, y ya está, ya pasó, la espera ha terminado porque The Temper Trap publican “Conditions” en España el 14 de septiembre. Ooooh, ¿en septiembre? Sí, pero antes, al menos esta semana, puedes escucharlo enterito en el myspace de la banda. El productor del disco ha sido nada menos que Jim Abbiss (Unkle, Arctic Monkeys). A continuación el video de su single debut en UK, “Science of Fear”.

CANCAN SHOE COLLECTION

A World Springs to Life on an Urban Wall

Impresionante mural de dos artistas grafiteros brasileños que se llaman a sí mismos "Os Gemeos" en una esquina de la cuidad de New York. (Houston Street y el Bowery)

With their first public artwork in Manhattan, which went up at the northwest corner of Houston Street and the Bowery on July 17, the Brazilian brothers Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, who call themselves Os Gêmeos, bring graffiti art to its Rococo phase. Which is to say that their fantastic, epic mural, on a concrete wall about 17 feet high and about 51 feet long, is light and frothy, a dream of happiness with an underlying chord of melancholy. And everything in it is exquisitely fine-tuned and detailed, a dazzlement of effortless technique that sustains long bouts of close looking. It will remain up until March.
