It's such a sad news that she passed away in Sept this year.
Nagi Noda was a multi-talented Art Director & Director who's born in Tokyo. Other than doing prints, she also directed music video & tv commercial. I really like her out-of-the-box style of execution.
A mv of Yuki entitled “Sentimental Journey” is one of her stunning works that leaving me watching it over and over again.
This is the much-loved awesome Coke commercial that she did for Mother, UK.

Denis Guidone • Ora Unica
A "less is more" watch designed by Denis Guidone who won the international design competition Adamo Eva.
His winning piece is called "Ora Unica" which means "One hour". I just love the idea of the time pointer which is actually represented by a single line circular shape doodle. Which means the "doodle" shape changes all the time. At first glance some may not realize that it actually tells time, but watch lovers like me would "learn" to tell time in no time.
I heart it!

High Heel Design for Injured Fashionista
I guess it's a sign. These shoes are telling me that they are the perfect match for me for the time being(for people who know what happened to me). They are made for injured fashionista.(kidding)
These oddly aesthetic but very functional work of art is designed by Gwendolyn Huske, a designer who is studying at the design academy in Eindhoven, in the department of man and identity.
These are her works of graduation called "Medic Esthetic". Shoes made by real medical materials and supplies.

Iconic and you know who that is when you see it. That's Angela Lindvall who's holding it.

Pierre Hardy Shoes Mania
He's the shoe designer for the very noted shoe design. I personally name that particular pair of attention catcher as "heels for the roller bladders" which the tough beauties could decorate themselves with when they are not playing the rough sports but it is actually called the Balenciaga lego sandal. The pic speaks for itself, and it's also one of my fav color combination.
This was designed by him for Balenciaga 07 f/w collection.

It catches my attention a lot when it's first shown on some website back to some time ago, and lately it's as if I found more and more eye candy that would make me mumble "OMG" throughout my browsing times.
To make it short, he designs shoes for Balenciaga, Hermes, and Gap too! Reading about his bio is a very good example of "the more I learn, the less I know". As usual, I did quite a bit of research on him and I admire the fact that he often draws on art and architecture for his source ideas. The marriages of both disciplines found in fashion/graphic design always enlighten me. And often, I always think that good designs should not be crafted in a standard manner, creative explorations and a good art sense are essential in every heart winning goodies.
Here are the latest design which I like.

Alex & Chloe • Vintage Plactic Ethics
It seems like a late discovery to me. Alex & Chloe vintage silhouette-ish accessories feed my fashion thirst like a bomb of the greatest spring water.
My new faves.
Plastic, gold, silver, bronze, acid pink - speaking very loudly to my eyes.
and oh ya, the collaboration with Brian Lichtenberg is a flawless one.



It's hot, that's why.

I had never loved a diamond this much. Furthermore it's 0 carat =D.
