CORPUS

March 12th, 2010


In this collection of short stories, Susan’s characters mercilessly soldier through emotion disappointments, momentary breakdowns, twisted desires and other occurrences. A landlady encounters with Andy Warhol; a stylist finds herself trapped in a mission to subvert fashion’s shallowness (while holding a human brain); a tourist whose anticipation for finding the holiest icon in exotic location is less than soul-enhancing, and more. Susan’s words are candid, whimsical, darkly humourous and even self-mocking at times (relating to others as ‘the real writers’). Corpus is a frank yet imaginative account on what happens when art, design and various types of modern idealism fell short of one’s expectation. One for the strong at heart.

DREAM A LITTLE JULIE DREAM

March 10th, 2010

Julie Verhoeven, being a former collaborator, is no stranger to Silly Thing. The beloved illustrator has just rolled out a bedclothes range (fabric bag, pillowcase and more) for a certain Swedish High street brand (guess who). Now it is not so easy to get hold of the items, because they are only available in Stockholm - but not if you start getting friendly with your international 6th degree friend base!

FLORIAN AW2010

March 8th, 2010

FLorian’s show at A/W2010 Paris fashion week is an intriguing performance-art feast, which also doubled as a celebration for the launch of his mens collection.



With ‘Animalia’ as the theme of the A/W2010 mens and womens collections, the pieces feature real cow horn, exotic skins, delicate handmade beads with snake skin print and much more. The result? A provocative vision of vivid wildness and delightful delicacy. His S/S2010 collection is also currently showcased as part of ‘Corner Bijoux’ at Colette now.

TUPPERWARE

March 2nd, 2010

因為《裝苑》3月號特集太精彩之原固,我又找了這批TUPPERWARE出來;昔年拆卸校園食物部之放出物,小息放LUNCH必備之膠制品,屬於另一個年代之五彩十色,《MILK X》美術小姐說勾起她的滾水淥麵餅回憶,食壞胃,但開心。
