system magazine
very happy to find out yesterday about thomas lenthal’s new editorial adventure since Paradis mag is definetly not around enough to quench our thirst . the crew around this project is quite exciting: beside mr lenthal (ex numero/paradis mag) is marie amelie sauve (ex balenciaga), elizabeth von guttman & alexia niedzielski (both industry mag) and jonathan winfield (ex numero)…
as it can be expected from this team, system is not another fashion mag but rather talking about the behind the scene of the industry which is great and definitely needed. so the first issue is out in may and is featuring the first interview post balenciaga of designer nicolas ghesquiere. more about it here. by pp.

SUTRA
…is an aphorism or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual, or more broadly, a text in hinduism or buddhism, literally meaning a thread or line that holds things together. it is also a current performance at sadler’s wells in london. i very much envy those who have the opportunity to experience. inspired by the serenity of shaolin monks from china, choreographer sidi larbi cherkaoui decided to collaborate with them for an hour-long piece for the stage. by kl

Degage: a film by Homme starring simone kerr
dance is surely king and when ballet is incorporated it gets an extra star. like this little film by young australian director cale ‘good times’ mason and stylist sarah scaife starring lovely dancer simone kerr. nice color, nice edit, good moves. extra effort would be appreciated in story and maybe a better hair do… but what do i know about hair, you should look at mine. if you’re into ballet inspired clips here’s amelia and another dub davami from previous posts. by xy

filippo perini: on the design of the lamborghini aventador super car
origami at its finest
filippo perini sketches the lamborghini aventador
a rather cheeky video from marketing: selling you on the car that will save you from armageddon… or, god himself for that matter.
ok i’m not, in any way, a fan of obnoxious modern cars of the past 30 years. my love is for the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s cars of the le mans and monaco grand prix. i hate nearly all modern cars and the tacky people who drive them; but this car, love it or not, is a genius design that you can’t ignore. this car is so elegantly and effortlessly resolved, it can only be the work of a japanese origami master, but it isn’t. it’s actually the handy work of the italian filippo perini, and my hat is off to him. it’s good to see that italian’s can still do one thing right. the design will become a true classic, next to the small ferrari 246 GTS and the porsche 904. to me it was never about speed; as i always say, it’s all about style…but the aventador seems to have both. at 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph from its V12 engine, it’s not the fastest car today, nor is it the most expensive at almost 400,000 USD, but i wouldn’t mind having one if i could drive it away from the public’s eye. by dd
