M.I.A. on corporate sponsorship:

"They wanted me to be the face of Coca Cola. I was like 'Wow. Have you guys got any idea what you’re talking about?' Then Pepsi called me the next week. My mother-in-law called me and said 'Oh my God, Maya, they’re offering you so much money'."

Popping Photos by Lagoi and Lace

Posted 2011-06-01 19:55:05 | Views: 14,415

If Daft Punk and Lady Gaga were to have a love child, we imagine she would look something like this. These candy colored creatures are actually the work of artistic duo Ralph Lagoi and Kate Lace, otherwise known as Lagoi & Lace. While studying art and photography at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, they decided to combine their various strengths in photography, design, art direction and styling to celebrate the power of beauty and fashion.

Set in actual love hotel rooms in Japan, this spread is called "Love Land Invaders." It features superhero-like characters in crazy cool outfits and accessories like masks, glasses, shields, armory, jewelry, and ribbon. Each character represents a certain aspect of beauty (the beauty of dark elegance, the beauty of a gentleman, the beauty of play, the beauty of wilderness, the beauty of pink).

"The "Love Land Invaders" express an idea we call luxurious pop. In this project luxury can be found in the aesthetic quality of the design, for example by using glossy materials, sculptural shapes and vibrant colors. Luxury can also mean giving oneself the freedom to explore your desires and fantasies and creating fitting worlds. For us pop describes the idea of bringing diverse inspirational sources into a fresh mix to create emotionally and visually strong images. The idea of luxurious pop was our guiding light while creating the "Love Land Invaders".

Underwear Chandelier as Art

Posted 2011-06-01 08:24:18 | Views: 25,771

 

The tender room' multimedia installation, created by Swiss-born, Switzerland and LA-based artist Pipilotti Rist for Ohio State University's Wexner Center for the Arts, brings together video, sculpture, and the light and dynamics of the gallery in an exhibition that dissolves the boundaries between interior and exterior and emphasizes the human body, emotional impulses, and the possibilities of public space.

 

Installed in this  smaller space, is 'Cape Cod Chandelier', a chandelier-like sculpture assembled from the collected undergarments of Rist's friends and family and upon which silent but richly colored video is projected. Stepping left into the main gallery, visitors are confronted with 'the tender room' multichannel video installation.

Female Short Pants (from the 1950's?)

Posted 2011-05-26 20:23:19 | Views: 46,958

Call me naive, but I didn't know women from the 1950's had asses like that. Well, or at least show them off that way. There's something extremely contemporary about these photos. I guess some things never change. These gals look like they’re having a good time, hanging out in their female short pants – which is the only description life magazine could give me for this set of photos. date unknown… mid-fifties i’m guessing?

Swedish Designer: Ida Sjöstedt

Posted 2011-05-25 11:59:05 | Views: 12,767

Disco glam rock Fabergé butterfly. Here are some pretty looks from the Spring/Summer collection by Swedish designer, Ida Sjöstedt. I love Ida’s sense of humor and elegance. She pushes the envelop with a wink.


Seriously–if you have the confidence to pull off a glittering, swirling, skin-tight, glam rock catsuit–please just go for it! Amazing.
