Dress the part, men’s style movie poster!

These posters, designed by Moxy Creative and illustrated by James Alexander Mathers and Andrew Lau, highlight a classic fashion item ( especially from men’s wardrobe) referring to ten different movies. Really fun and stylish, I’d hire them for my next (imaginary) film! My favourite is the Waal Street one, what’s yours? ( you can find the complete series here)

First pics of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe

This is one of the first pictures of Michelle Williams playing the Hollywood legend in “My week with Marilyn” the Simon Curtis-directed film that tells the story and the behind-the-scenes of what happened during the making of  The Prince And The Showgirl, which starred Marilyn and Laurence Olivier.

I approve the choice and I like the style of this first images. I’ll wait for  the movie!

The Pallets-Office

Over in Amsterdam, MOST Architecture has taken pallets and packed them into a completely customized office space for the Dutch branding agency BrandBase.

Design and creativity meet sustainability: Euro-pallets seem to be a highly available resource “in nature” and plenty of architects are trying to re-use them in architecture. Only a few can use the well. This is a vry good example!

Bollywood Rules – Robot the film

Robot is a Bollywood production with Rajnikanth (?) and Aishwarya Rai directed by Shankar that came out last week end in India.

It looks like the Indian version of I Robot with Will Smith (2004)…but with crazy dancing-and-singing robots!

P.S. Crazy Bollywood website here!

Kristamas Klousch (and David Sylvian’s Sleepwalkers)

Some of the selfportarits  by Kristamas Klousch have been used for David Sylvian’s new album “Sleepwalkers”.

Kristamas is a young Canadian artist, whose work focuses mainly in self introspection and representation, through selfportraits. Her extreme, dark and provocking images, that remind sometime to  Francesca Woodman’s ones, perfectly fit with the scenery described by David Sylvian in his latest issue. (in fact one of the best thing he does is choosing great collaborations….)

This video can speak for me:

Gilda meets architecture: my visit to the Venice Architecture Biennale

I have to say I’m not such a great expert about architecture, but … I had the chance to visit the preview of the Architecture Biennale – open until November, 21st.

The exhibition, People meet in Architecture (http://www.labiennale.org), is directed by the Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima ( she’s the first woman curating the architecture Biennale), has really excited me.

Usually an architecture exhibition is quite boring, you find a lot of projects, videos, models etc..refering to real buildings or projects to be realized in the future.

Instead, Sejima’s exhibition presents mainly concepts, ideas, installations that reflects about the future and the sense of architecture nowadays, without stating anything, only suggesting.

Here is the top ten of the projects I’ve seen…
