Dresses of the Future by Hussein Chalayan

Hussein Chalayan's Spring Summer 2007 collection of beautiful, elegant, feminine morphing dresses that even after 3 years, still inspires the mind.

With audio comment:


Straight to the point:

I found a very thoughtful article that inspires me this morning,
there is an article posted in The Design Observer Group -

The Value of Empathy.

Something that remind us that we have a bigger vision.
So keep our passion burning and create something that can help the world!


"It’s so terribly trendy to care about the poor, the environment, and every form of 'betterment' that I begin to assume we must be selling more design by fetishizing social relevance." — David Stairs, Arguing with Success

Google Wave

UPDATE:

I have officially received my invite for Google Wave (yay!)
Apparently, if you get invited by the Google Wave team, you'd be able to give out several invites, HOWEVER, if you are invited by a friend who was invited by the Google Wave Team, you get nada invites. =/

Here's a bit of a preview on how the interface looks like...



Thus far, I only have 3 other people in my contact list so there isn't much activity. I find the fact that we can watch videos directly from Wave as well as being able to easily show maps and have live polls to be so bloody cool.

Here's a WAY shortened vid on how Wave works



-------------------------------------

A massively cool, open-sourced, browser based, crazily magical communications & collaborations tool by Google called Google Wave.

It'll be MUCH easier to understand once you've watched their really looong video taken during Google Wave's announcement/developer preview in I/O.

Google Wave is developed by Google Australia. More info on Google Blog here.

Microsoft's vision of 2019

Microsoft has put together a concept video showing what our world could look like in a decade's time. The Future Vision Montage shows a world where face to face communication is easier thanks to video walls that allows people to communicate without physical and/or language barriers. The video shows a world where computers and softwares makes it easier to collaborate, share ideas, and carry your information with you at all times.


I especially Like the Digital Wallet. Think about how much lighter our wallets would be if all our cards are in one(and how much more problems we'd have if we lose that ONE card) not to mention how cool (and somewhat freaky) it would be to see the person you're communicating with on the other side of the earth as though they are just standing right there in front of you :D

The best inspiration comes from nature.

Fun Living Space

This has got to be the most unique, fun and (slightly impractical) living space I've seen thus far! Uber inspirational :D

See lots and lots of pictures of amazingly different ideas at Archinenct

Subway Yearbook Photos

Such a pleasant idea: A Subway 'yearbook' filled with portraits of whoever-was-lucky-enough-to-be-there-to-participate. Am sure that this activity added a bit of twist and smile to those people's day. ;) Certainly would've made my day :D
