Banksy, a street artist from Bristol, opened a fake pet shop in NYC. This installation is titled "The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill", featuring chicken nuggets with legs (my favourite), moving hot dogs, a rabbit with pearl necklace, leopard and etc.
According to Independent, Banksys offered a written explanation for the installation: "New Yorkers don't care about art, they care about pets. So I'm exhibiting them instead."

I have been reading the old issues of L'Officiel de la Mode, starting way back from 1921. I have once posted here some screenshots but now I have found more.
When looking at those advertisements, it occurs to me that they are not "old" in style; the typefaces used are certainly outdated but the essential rules of typography are still there. Look at how the designers carefully mixed the few typefaces together, creating something new in each ad. They did not have as many choices of fonts as we do nowadays, but they still managed to achieve the same effect. Of course, the lack of color is rather incomparable.
Jeremy Laing is a Canadian fashion designer who apprenticed with Alexander McQueen. His Fall/Winter collection this year brought some fresh looks to my eyes. I like how he constructed the clothing with just enough amount of details, he used pattern sparingly, and he paid much attention to the back as well as the front.

Cri de Coeur is a French expression that translates literally to "cry from the heart." To us, it symbolizes our heartfelt desire to change the face of the fashion footwear market. Launching
for Spring 2008, Cri de Coeur provides stylish, contemporary women's
footwear that is ethically produced from start to finish.
Gina Ferraraccio is the founder and creative inspiration behind the brand. As a vegan, she felt frustrated with trying to satisfy both the stylish and animal-friendly qualities when shopping, especially for goods usually made of leather. She discovered there were not any options readily available to her that were high-quality, high-fashion, vegan footwear and began to formulate the first ideas for Cri de Coeur in the late 1990's. As environmental issues became more and more prevalent in everyday awareness, she realized to merely make vegan shoes while ignoring their impact on the planet would be irresponsible. Thus, the complete vision for Cri de Coeur was born.

The shoes look really comfortable, though I do not think they are as chic as some people think they are, they are very good alternatives from the more popular designer shoes. Plus, they are "green". And oh yes, the shoes above also appeared in the Elle magazine this month.
Cri de Coeur shoes are available for online purchase here.

From somewhere on fashionspot, if I remembered correctly. Another proof of how stupid design could be.
