It’s hard to believe Play Cloths only launched in December ‘08, but the Clipse-owned brand has already been quickly well-received by street fashion elite. For their Spring ‘09 Collection, Play Cloths took out the scissors and pieced together a mature lineup of jackets, hooded sweatshirts, button-downs, and cardigans. As of now, we only have a taste, but stay tuned as we’ll provide a full look at the full collection in the weeks to come.

Young but already etablished line…nice!

The landmark Chemosphere home in the Hollywood Hills and its owner, publisher Benedikt Taschen, were profiled in a 2005 Home cover story. “What was great about Lautner is that he had this dualism about nature and the city,” Taschen said at the time, noting that one side of the house was “pure nature,” with skunks, bobcats, coyotes and deer, while the other side was “pure city,” the vast San Fernando Valley.

The career of the architect John Lautner (1911-1994) spanned more than six decades, yet he is little known outside the architecture world, even though his buildings have starred in movies like “Diamonds are Forever” and “Charlie’s Angels.” Man’s relationship to nature and the universe intrigued Lautner and informed his designs, from coffee shops to plans for endless cities. Unfolding from the hills, nestled in canyons, or hovering above city skylines, Lautner’s residential projects have had influence on some of today’s most important architects — Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas, among them.

Def. my favorite house so far…

Coming off an impressive showing at Germany’s Museum für Moderne Kunst, Takashi Murakami prepares for a pit stop at the Gagosian Gallery in the UK before the final showing of his retrospective tour at the renown Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain. While the Gagosian show will run concurrent to the Guggenheim exhibition, it will open a week earlier on February 10th, 2009. For the meantime, we get a preview of a piece from the upcoming show featuring Takashi’s “Time Bokan” with an original camouflage backing, much like the wallpaper featured at last years Brooklyn showing.

Always a peasure…

Jo Cope describes her work as conceptual garment and accessory design. This title is very befitting for her sometimes odd but alluring designs. Cope is based in England and graduated from the fashion program at Nottingham Trent University.

Included here are images of her graduation collection from 2006 and a series of her accessories. These accessories include jewellery, like the ‘non-collar’ unisex neckpiece and handbags which explore the interplay with the body like the ‘self-extension bag’.
