Charles Inottum's new book, The Visible Skeleton, makes an interesting parallel between lingerie and bones.

Women, according to this controversial author, like to wear corsets, garters and stockings to mimick an exoskeleton.

The theory says that, instead of weapons of seduction, the female body seeks protection through the visual 

metaphor of death. The book, soon after release last month, created an uproar of…

The biggest work in progress in minimalist imagery.

A project born from an artistic movement that wants

to counterbalance the side effects of visual inflation

VSP are more important than the Very Important People. At least at my eyes. They are stronger, with more positivity and a dignity that lack in many of us. I wanted to post this pictures because they are talking about a firm which added some aesthetic value to prosthetic limbs.

The trend is for sharp cut, garden sculptures and Magrittian hairstyle. This reinvented bobcut is beautiful and improves your hearing.

Fill up and go! It seems peace is only possible when you run out of missiles.

This might be a great idea to tell people recycling is chic!

Dear Envy Friends,

I recently received a book from a dear friend who works up in the Italian Alps as a lumberjack. The book's title is "Nature", by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and it was written in 1836. I am pretty sure every person living in America knows or at least heard about this writer, thinker and philosopher who, for some reasons,…

Dark jewellery, along with dark tattooes, dark beer and dancing in the dark, is cool again.

Even if you are not in this sort of things, dark jewellery comes up with a message that goes beyond the underground visual jargon of a cynical, suburban teenager.

Dark jewellery, for…

Ben Hassett's photos propose the old tune of the tortured model. How far the artist can push and up to which limit a muse should bear, in the creative partnership of an impactful image? The press demands always new and always original pictures, deja vù being the cardinal sin of the eye, and the industry…

Gideon Sundback is the inventor of the zip, a brilliant system to open and close two separate pieces of fabric,

The story behind this breakthrough idea is intriguing and full of surprises. The buttons' market plummeted after a few 

years. The zip conquered the world as fast as it zips and unzips. To see more, click on this…

Hisaji Hara mixes two media: photography and painting, using the former as a tribute to the latter. Phtography, in Hara's work, goes back to a slower portrait, meticolously reconstructing every element of the metaphysical composition, and with a particular freedom of formal interpretation. In this case, Balthus' work is brought to life in its dense atmosphere, enriched by a more articulated space (the bookshelf, the window, the…

Paintings trap clothes into oil. The process is different from photography, where light shapes the micro-narrative…

Lisa Nilsson is producing wonderful paper quills which can be seen as a foreplay in fashion production, since every dress is born from paper and also because the flesh dresses our bones and our skin, like the outer, ultimate layer of a human onion, is giving us appearance before any garment or fabric whatsoever.

Paper should be used more often in concept fashion, as an economic but incredibily adaptable medium for…

A new line of cameras for looking at the world of fashion from a different angle. The Digifukk is a series of products invented for the professional photographer who's tired of the digital perfection of hi res images and supersharp details. The Digifukk cameras allow you to record reality the way brain works, with a certain degree of unaccurateness.

Many artists have been shifting to this new trend, producing a…

Ha - ha - ha! LOL :-) verrryyy fuunnnyyy!!!

NO! IT'S NOT FUNNY!

This is bad taste, this is lack of respect, this is poor humour. Bunk and bogus stuff. I wonder why Amnesty International doesn't do anything about it.

Last week I was in Hollywood and I had the opportunity to interview Rintintin (one of…

The Halftruck by Brandpowder ©.

This new vehicle is just one of the new ideas of the underworld design firm Brandpowder. Moving from New York City to Alaska has been a bold move. But it's also a good example to others and a lesson on frugality, especially in a time where everybody is sensitive to cost cuts. According to its founder, going back to basics…
