maybe we should make a special section dedicated to the endless and useless objects where the chanel c’s are randomly shoved in any which way… coco must be rolling in her grave. some restraints is due we believe. the snow board was a good surprise but you can’t joke the joke too many times. you must be kidding us this time around karl? by pp’
redesigning your stogy office? that penthouse apt you just bought at half the price? well the idea in trak-kit can change the entire way we interact with technology. the possibilities seem rather endless when you consider how this can apply not only to television screens and computer screens which have dominated our offices and homes, but how walls and elements can become modular and movable. trak-kit could have only been the brain child of a new york city architect who is aware of the limited spaces we have, and an aesthetic from a city that sets the standard for the rest of the world. the exclusivity and the price tags may contain trak-kit to the uber lux apartments, high-end hotels, state of the art tele conference rooms, and designer corporate offices for now, but with time and its expansion it will surely become available for everyone. architecture and rendering by shadi and company. by av

slow and steady wins the race is a new clothing label, presented as a bimonthly clothing diary. the focus is on a specific and fundamental characteristic of clothing design. trends aside; this is about style – for the long haul. the same way the slow, yet consistent turtle wins the race against the cocky hare, great style wins over ever changing trends anytime. by kv

ah..the endless adventures of tintin. I miss scuba diving! by kv
a wonderful place to stay in tahiti. hotel bora bora, as the name suggests, is on the southern edge of the bora bora island and although it is not as stunning and perfect as some of the other amans i have seen it did the job. the hotel was taken over by the aman resorts in the last decade and right now is being revamped to near perfection. a private boat with cold towels and cucumber water will pick you up at the airport and docks you right into your over-the-water bungalow with a wood & glass table that peers right into the water and its colorful fish as you ink your many letters. the scuba diving is not as great as in rangiroa, where we went, an island that is only a “few NY blocks away” but generally the water in tahiti is so clear that almost anywhere is above average. one seemingly ridiculous but rather out-of-this-world experience was walking at the bottom of the sea. i felt like tintin strolling the sea along with captain haddok, except with a captain that was much lovelier! just be careful of the ‘nonos’ the little tiny mosquitoes that seem to never leave tahiti. experience rating: 8 out-of 10 but we are tough. by dd
there is a theory being tested in our office these days: should men wear women fragrance, and vice versa, in order to attract the opposite sex? do women like a man that smells of roses and jasmine? you tell me. meanwhile, this month hermes in launching three new unisex fragrances; eau de pamplemousse rose, eau de gentiane blanche and eau d´orange vert. problem solved! by kv
for me, it’s pier paolo pasolini’s finest film. the infamous salo was neither shocking or memorable, unless you saw it at the time, in which case it was banned. certainly reactionary and specific to the period, but rather boring now. teorema on the other hand, is a film that seems to live on. it’s beautifully filmed and you can’t really lose with terence stamp in the mix. must see. by dd
