Molly's Cabin

HHStyle Casa


I love Tadao Ando. This is another building by him. It feels quite heavy, but has some interesting forms. (Image from MoCo Tokyo)

Hussein Chalayan


Hussein Chalayan is terrific. In one of his fashion shows, the models step onstage, where chairs and a coffee table are present. They remove the chair covers, which become dresses, and put on the dresses. The chairs fold into suitcases. Then another model comes onstage and pulls the coffee table into a dress. This show explores the plight of the refugee, where all that the refugees can literally take is the clothes on their backs.






His latest collection is equally amazing. It's titled "Inertia." (Images from HusseinChalayan.com)

The pool is also amazing. I like how it goes right up to the edge of the window.
