another JC worth knowing...

I received an e-mail the other day from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac for a "Ventes Prives"(Private Sale) and while perusing the sight I clicked on the "NEWS" section and came across a feature entitled SPRING/SUMMER 3001. I was immediately intrigued and clicked to find a virtual fashion show in a world composed only of LEGO characters in JC de Castalbajac attire, which I thought was darling since LEGO turned 30 this year and JC conveniently dated the "virutal collection year" as (30)01. There's even a LEGO Devil, who just happens to be sitting next to Anna Wintour.
If you're familiar with who JC de C's work, you'd know he is a fashion designer with a very graphic, playful, and bright aesthetic, and basically the French forefather to Jeremy Scott.

I posted the video below, though I must mention it is quite long.

Lego celebrates it's 30th with even more awesomeness

not too long ago i posted about Lego turning 30. well it turns out to commemorate that they've made Lego "Men" out of some famous people, including Miss Amy Winehouse. it's kind of sad that this little toy looks better than that little woman.

LEGO turns 30!

i absolutely loved LEGOs growing up and i kinda wish i could still play with or utilise them in a functional way in my life now. apparently Opening Ceremony, a really innovative clothing store, and the fashion line Band of Outsiders have teamed up to do and celebrate LEGO's birthday. Opening Ceremony has not only redesigned the inside of their LA store to fully incorporate LEGO in to the presentation of the merchandise, but Band of Outsiders has LEGO men modeling their clothes too. you can check out the site they created here, though i've posted some of my favorite LEGO related pics below.
