Charming Chanel

Chanel does it again with an intriguing animated short entitled, Dancing Chanel. Watch it here.

"Fashion film animator Quentin Jones has worked with ballet dancer Emma Chadwick – dressed in Chanel’s unforgettable spring/summer 2011 collection - to create this masterpiece for VogueTV.

Fashion at its most artistic."

We love this brand new collaboration between one of of Paris's busiest artists - and also L'Officiel Homme's new creative director- André Saraiva aka Mr A. and Nous Sommes, a duo of prolific of designers of one-of-a-kind icon-inspired bling.

This time, designed with Saravia's signature character in mind, the pieces come into 4 different colors (gold, black, silver, and silver/blue)  and you already  know where to find these limited edition pendants.

Too cute!

Great Songs, Great Design

Love the cover art by designer Sachico Asano's for this Verve Music of Stan Getz's music.

Asano's minimalist approach is definitely in tune with the mood of this compilation, a collection of some of of Getz's most memorable performances.

The album has been on repeat for the past few days and will probably make it through the summer too. We urge you to add it to  your playlist and, you'll thank us later.
