DESERT & FOG – BEAT POET

AW 09 – FOG
The leaves fall. We fall like them. The leaves fall because God
wills it, but we fall because the English will it.
In the coming spring, nobody will remember the dead leaves
any more than the dead soldiers.
Life will pass on over our graves…

The second instalment of the Desert and Fog Collection is the autumn/winter component entitled ‘Fog’. The Fog instalment is the downpour of rain after the drought of apocalypse that was the summer ‘Desert’ component. It was heavily influenced by German military traditions and regalia and the Luc Besson film, ‘Le Dernier Combat’. A strong ‘end of the world’ doom’s day feeling threads through the collection from the military regime-styled D-coats to the cloudy London Fog Square Scarves to the range of poison necklaces to be worn at all times in case of emergency.

Alidra Alic Jewelry

by Laura Neilson

Alidra Alic’s dreamily surrealist “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” collection gives a stunning glimpse into the jewelry designer’s looking-glass aesthetic. Inspired by the decorative floral motifs that emerged from the romantic period of the 1800s, the mostly resin and plastic-based creations exude a wondrous, logic-defying sensibility.

NOTHING WITHOUT AN AXE:


BEST MADE CO

NOTHING WITHOUT AN AXE:

Every high-rise condo, luxury office, executive suite, ranch house, and farmstead must have an axe in it. We know that axes shouldn’t only be in the hands of lumberjacks: anyone and everyone should have an axe in their name. Put it in your cubicle, give it to your niece as a graduation present, or your dad for father’s day (or better yet mom for mother’s day), bring it to the company picnic, carry it to the door next time Jehovah’s Witness come knocking, or just lean it up against your living room wall and admire. An axe is indispensable and sublime, the epitome of self-reliance and independence, a perfect design object, a timeless instrument.
