What would you give back to London?

Paul Smith was asked "What would you give back to London?". He answered with this quirky litter bin, designed to improve the city's streets. The bin was designed as part of a Super Contemporary exhibition held at the Design Museum.

The rabbit 'rewards' the public by lighting up its ears when you put rubbish into its 'carrot bag'. It would certainly brighten up your day much more than an overflowing black bin.


I love the idea of established designers having an input into our everyday life. If small, mundane tasks like putting your litter into a bin can be given a fun, designer edge,then why not make the day that little bit more amusing?

Coco


I recently watched Coco Before Chanel and thought it was an amazingly inspiring film. The costumes throughout were gorgeous and I instantly warmed to Tautou's character, Gabrielle. I absolutely love period dramas and this has become one of my favourite! Anne Fontaine really created a world into which the audience is pulled... The world of Coco Chanel.....I wish I could be there!

Has Privé gone Gaga?

I think that the outfits worn by Lady Gaga to the Grammy Awards deserve to be called works of art rather than pieces of clothing. All of her outfits were designed by Giorgio Armani who gave her an "out of this world", extreme modern look. Fashion has helped Gaga to create her image as an unconventional, unique music artist. Clothing can easily shape the public perception of celebrities. This is a fact that Gaga has used to her advantage, quickly gaining a place in the spotlight due to her outlandish, daring outfits. They may not be to everyone's taste but they definately draw attention whether it be positive or negative.
