Introducing ‘Tabard’ by Denis Santachiara for Italian manufacture Pallucco. The illuminated coat hanger is a rigid shell reminiscent of the 18th century seamless overcoat, the tabard. Now the overcoat is the coat hanger, ironically reversing its historic role. The shell has the ablity to rotate 120° to reveal the hanging garmets within. What a fantastic fixture, I think a transparent version would be outstanding, I could see Barney’s using the Tabard in all their stores…
It seems like since Avatar, everything is 3D. TVs with 3D can’t stay on the shelves and I think i saw a new 3D Macbook somewhere, we’re inundated. And like everything current, fashion will play out its commentary upon the subject of three dimensions. Burberry already jumped on the bandwagon with their last FW 2010 show that they available to watch live in 3D. But, I see this playing out much – much further….I can imagine three dimensional prints walking down the runway to a large interactive back drop, also in 3d, interacting with the collection before it. If anyone could have done it, it would have been Alexander McQueen. I can’t imagine any other designer working through the intricacy of figuring out designing such a difficult and complicated pattern that could work beautifully both with 3D glasses or with the human eye and then finishing and composing perfectly. Or, I could see Maison Martin and Margiela doing a 3D garment in juxtaposition to a faceless stocking covered model, that could really pop. Maybe, Marc Jacobs will put little 3D avatars or Mirikami on the next Louis Vuitton bags, or Prada will do their next plaid-like patterned dresses in 3 dimensions, the possibilities are endless…
3D Chanel Plaid!! Now that would be something, wouldn’t it?
What I really want to know is: When and where can I buy myself a pair of designer 3D glasses,? I’m sure Linda Farrow has it under control…

Master of light, Mader Stublic Wiermann, demonstrates his finesse on the facade of New York’s Chelsea Art Museum. By cloaking the outer rim of the building with LED light rods, the building is given new life with transient abstract 2D images and grids projected upon it. It’s as though a new structure is being developed upon the facade by and reaching upwards and beyond the existing building. Be entranced by seeing it in action below…
