Melvin the Machine by HEYHEYHEY

Melvin the Machine by HEYHEYHEY from Dezeen on Vimeo.

In this movie filmed in a warehouse on the outskirts of Eindhoven, the ringing of an alarm clock triggers a chain of events that opens umbrellas, spins paper windmills, starts a fire and releases a set of parachuting toy animals.

Dutch design studio HEYHEYHEY originally constructed the machine, named Melvin, during Dutch Design Week 2010 but reassembled this improved version a year later.

Doug Aitken on Black Mirror & Chloë Sevigny

A.L.M.

I have been thinking about Lee today. Lee's mastery and total understanding of interdisciplinary practice involved the translation & connection of the human psyche. He used many methods: fetish, appropriation, historical figures, myth & 14th to the 21st century imagery that resulted in a body of fantastic fashion; how astounding. ♥ A.L.M.

CLOSE UP AND PRIVATE's etiquette for the modern classicist

CLOSE UP AND PRIVATE's etiquette for the modern classicist,
a loosely compiled list of scrupulous style cues for gentlemen

-

Slim cut suits with short legged trousers go a long way.
-
Buy a pair of wingtips and loafers.
-
The Beatles sir, listen to them – and do so regularly.
-
Owning at least 3 oxford shirts has never done a man any harm.
-
Be a gentleman towards women.
-
Own several ties – n.b. Four-in-hand knots only – mix things up with a bow tie.
-
Watch all movies by Andrei Tarkovsky. Re-watch them.
-
Always consider a well-fitting navy blazer with gold buttons.
-
Serge Gainsbourg looked smart in a trench coat and so do you.
-
Own a classic cashmere v-neck and a round-neck pull-over.
-
Kaki chino trousers are as essential as they are basic.
Choose your pair meticulously.
-
Cherish a good relationship with your parents.
-
Sometimes looking at a nice black and white picture of your grandfather
as a young man wearing his Sunday-suit can learn you more about classic style
than reading 20 fashion magazines.
-
A watch – you do own one do you? - should be flat, vintage, and have a leather band.
-
Be punctual.
-
Ray Ban sunglasses matter.
-
Stay current.
-
Trust the classics.
