On these shores, the fall/winter issue of Garage comes in two varieties: one features urban cowgirl Andriana Lima photographed by Inez & Vinoodh (and styled to the gold-and-denim hilt by Carolyne Cerf de Dudzeele), while another features that same image as interpreted by John Baldessari, the subject of a solo exhibition that opened last week at Garage editor-in-chief Dasha Zhukova‘s Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow. Baldessari’s work also makes the cover of the Russian edition of Garage, for which the artist collaborated with Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. The cover image (pictured) is reproduced from a collage featuring a trippy blue, black, and pink tie-dye pattern developed for Rodarte’s fall 2013 collection. “We were really honored to collaborate with John Baldessari, as he is our favorite artist and we admire his work greatly,” said the Mulleavy sisters, who have previously collaborated with the likes of Catherine Opie, Alec Soth, Stephen Shore, and Frank Gehry.
Meanwhile, back in the American edition, Baldessari chats with Zhukova in an extended Q&A that weaves among images of his work. The artist reveals that one of his goals “is to be to known for something besides [putting dots over people’s faces]. It’s going to be hard.” And did you know he loves magazines? “I’m a junkie,” he tells Zhukova of his predilection for periodicals. Art magazines? Fashion magazines? “Sure,” he answers. As for his relationship to the fashion world, Baldessari takes a more personal approach. “When I get up in the morning, I have a mirror. I think about whether this color might look good with that color. I’m not obsessed with it, but that’s certainly about fashion,” he says. “On the other hand, a former studio manager said that she doesn’t even look in the mirror in the morning.”

Italian plastic brand Kartell has released its first accessories collection of translucent bags with shoes to match (+ slideshow).
Better known as a furniture producer, Kartell has collaborated with designer Giorgiana Zappieri of fashion brand .normaluisa to create the range of plastic accessories.
Grace K drawstring handbags are made from translucent plastic with gold-coloured chain straps, named after actress Grace Kelly.
The bags come in black, coral, cream and gold, as well as a pair of two-toned variants including dove-grey and peach, plus bone and dove-grey.
Kartell’s first range of So K flat sandals with ankle straps is available in colours that match the handbags. Other shoes in the brand’s catalogue including ballerina pumps and platform shoes have been updated in new fluorescent tones.
Kartell’s move into fashion accessories follows the announcement that the brand will to open 50 flagship fifty stores across China over the next five years.
Furniture that resembles cut-crystal glasses by Tokujin Yoshioka and the world’s largest single-piece injection moulding by Philippe Starck are the most recent products for Kartell we’ve featured.
Earlier this year, Dezeen spoke to the head of Kartell and new president of Milan’s Salone Internazionale del Mobile trade fair Claudio Luti about his plans to rebrand the event. We recently chatted to Patrizia Moroso about the state of Italian design and how Milan is “sitting in the past”.

The brand sent us the information below:
Kartell is proud to announce its presence at Super with a stand dedicated to its collection of Kartell à la Mode accessories.
For Spring Summer 2014, Kartell is launching its first handbag, “Grace K”, designed in collaboration with .normaluisa designer, Giorgiana Zappieri. The timeless shapes of the so-called “drawstring bag” are given new life through the transparency of plastic combined with glittering gold-coloured chains for the strap. The name Grace K is obviously a tribute to the undisputed style icon Grace Kelly, bearing testimony to a relaxed elegance that’s never showy.
Grace K will be available in monochromatic versions in black, coral, cream and gold, and in two two-toned variants: dove-grey/peach and bone/dove-grey. These last two models sport contrasting shades on the top and bottom of the handbag, a duotone that is adorned with a coral-coloured drawstring on the first version and a black one on the second.
In addition to Grace K, we are also introducing So K, the catalogue’s first flat sandal to complete the already wide range of footwear. So K is available in four colours: black, gold, peach and coral. With a simple shape and minimalist design, So K adapts to lots of different occasions of use, adding a colourful and ironic, but always discrete touch to any look.
These two new items for next summer join Kartell à la mode classics which have been given new colours to keep up with the latest trends: Glue Cinderella ballerinas will be available in two new two-tone versions: fuchsia/lime and petroleum/lime. And the soft Lady platform shoes with be highlighted with fluorescent tones, in the same colours as the Cinderella ballerinas, and with two new, even softer, models in black/smoky and dove-grey/peach.
Our regular models are also available alongside our very latest items: Glue Cinderella ballerinas by .normaluisa and Bow Wow by Moschino, Lady platform peep-toe sandals with plateau sole by .normaluisa and Super Bow by Moschino, as well as Sofia boots and Demi Sofia ankle boots, both designed by .normaluisa, and also available in Metal and Wild versions.

New York designer Francis Bitonti worked with students to 3D-print this dress using commercially available MakerBot machines (+ movie).
Francis Bitonti created the dress while leading a three-week digital fashion workshop over the summer, which aimed to introduce students to computer software and additive manufacturing equipment.
“The project wasn’t to design a garment, the project was to design a method of making form on the computer that could be deployed across the body,” said Bitonti.
During the New Skins Workshop, students experimented with form-building software and created samples of their designs using the 3D printers.
“The MakerBot provided the students a direct link with the material world,” said Bitonti. “While they’re working on all these complex computer simulations they were able to get tactile, physical results through the MakerBot.”
Interim reviews of the groups’ work took place with guest critics, including designer Vito Acconci, who chose their favourite 3D-printed dress designs to develop.
Intricate patterning from one group and the silhouette from another were combined to create the final design, which was then printed in sections using a new flexible filament created by MakerBot.
“The idea was to create a landscape of geometric effects, things that would have different material behaviours in different parts of the body,” Bitonti said.
The result was a garment that referenced muscle fibres, veins and arteries to look like an inside-out body. It was named Verlan Dress after the French slang word for the reversal of syllables.
The workshop took place at the Digital Arts and Humanities Research Centre of the Pratt Institute in New York.
Bitonti previously worked with designer Michael Schmidt to create a dress for burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese using selective laser sintering. We’ve also featured 3D-printed clothing by Iris van Herpen and Catherine Wales.
Last month Microsoft began selling MakerBots in its US stores, while Makerbot unveiled a prototype of a desktop scanner earlier in the year. Read more about 3D printing in our one-off magazine Print Shift.

Le talentueux réalisateur Bob Harlow a imaginé ce clip très réussi pour illustrer le morceau « Turn It Around » de Nick Douwma, plus connu sous le nom de Sub Focus. Mettant en scène les errances d’une femme interprétée par l’actrice Coto Mukai dans Tokyo, cette vidéo est à découvrir dans la suite.
 | New York Fashion Week took us by storm! The most consistent trend throughout the featured designer’s collections was houndstooth. This classic print has been around for ages! Here, we are loving the print on these loafers. This is a fantastic way to incorporate the print subtly but still making a statement. These flats have a pointed toe that creates a feminine look. Wear these adorable shoes with a pair of tailored trousers. We’re bringing back 90’s style! |
London Design Festival 2013: footwear designer Tracey Neuls has teamed up with Tokyobike to create handmade shoes with rubber soles and reflective strips especially for cycling.
Tracey Neuls launched the cycling shoes for bike brand Tokyobike during this week’s London Design Festival.
The shoes feature rubber soles moulded in a single piece, which are designed to fit comfortably against bike pedals.
The range includes Fern laced ankle boots, with small heels and a reflective strip stitched up the back for cycling in the dark.
Geek shoes also have reflective detailing on the back and are available in black or camel. “Perfect for cycling or walking the city,” said Neuls.
The shoes are available from Tokyobike, 87-89 Tabernacle Street, and Tracey Neuls East, 73 Redchurch Street, until the end of the design festival on Sunday.
Tracey Neuls has previously collaborated with designer Tord Boontje to design a range of shoes featuring autumn leaves and illustration collective Le Gun to create a range of shoes inspired by items discovered inside a suitcase.
