innovation: issey miyake

Photobucket

issey miyake's basic concept for making clothes has always been the idea of designing a garment from 'one piece of cloth.' one of my favorites is his PLEATS PLEASE label, which combines technology, functionality and beauty.

while in new york I stumbled into the PLEATS PLEASE store by issey miyake and purchased this one of a kind Bilbao Bag. I'm often bored by many handbags, but something about this purse captured my eye. What is so great about this bag is that you can bend and fold it into different shapes and styles...very much like origami.

happy travels


dara mentioned in the post below that we are taking a trip. in a few hours we leave for new york, israel, and london. most likely no blogging for those 12 days, but looking forward to posting pictures of the treasures from our travel.

taking a trip to israel...couldn't help but think of jean-paul gaultier's 1993 hasidic inspired collection

puzzled.

call me a geek, but I could easily spend the day putting together a jigsaw puzzle. jigsaw puzzles involve both the global (big picture) and analytic (details) aspects of learning...the greatest benefit of putting one together comes when the jigsaw puzzle is done.

hair envy


last night i went out, and in comes a girl with the 1940's hair of my dreams. we had a long conversation about how she does her hair, and what i have been doing wrong for all these years. hair is not my forte. with a little spare time tonight i brought out my hot rollers, and voila! i think it could be tighter, and maybe even more volume, but the most progress i've made in the last 13 or so years.

seasonal affective


the weather was a bit cooler today. but chilly by any means, but doesn't this house and the nice green lawn remind you of crisp fall weather?
