In A Perfect World
In a Perfect world is the showcase for the work of third year fashion and visual communication students of Stockholm’s Beckmans School of Design.
Students from the two courses were paired in couple; fashion students had to create an outfit on the theme “In a perfect world”, while visual communication students were supposed to direct a video to show off the clothes.
The results are stunning, and hard to describe with words. Check them out yourself on the website.

Spaghetti Grafica, la collettiva dedicata alla grafica italiana organizzata dal Ministero della Grafica, ritorna alla Triennale di Milano con un secondo appuntamento. 125 progetti, selezionati su un totale di oltre 1300, saranno esposti nella mostra, la quale non si limiterà a documentare i lavori più significativi dei graphic designer italiani, ma dedicherà alcune sezioni alle figure più rilevanti del panorama.

WAD mag – A magazine about urban fashion and culture
Because of the economic recession and the rise of digital media the magazine industry has being going through a lot lately: less readers, less high-end advertisers, more debts. Though, French (but bilingual) Magazine WAD (We Are Different) though, has been up and alive for 10 years, and it’s enjoying his 10th birthday with some very special issues this year.
The theme for the Fall issue is “back to school”: all articles are written (and given grades!) like school essays, and fashion shootings become yearbook photos. You can get a small sample of the magazine here, and buy it online or at a good newsagent’s shop.
WE FEEL FINE
