Premier fashion blog SHOWstudio wrapped up a month-and-a-half-long project called Future Tense, wherein they asked various designers to do a short video clip or essay on the future of fashion.  77 movies in all, there’s quite a lot of eye candy, as well as some fodder. (Note: it’s probably worth mentioning that most of these were done during and around LFW and NY Fashion Week).

Here are a few favorites: Pierre Hardy’s #2030 (toucan camo), Serve by Carola Euler (for the cheesy music concept - def not the clothing),  Customers Own Property (funny cut-out bibs), Finsk (trendy heels), Basso and Brooke (color palette), Borba Margo (hair), Aleksandra Olenska (short & sweet) and Cassette Playa (Carrie’s the nu-rave designer whose style the Klaxons and M.I.A. cashed in on - see below).

Soundtrack: “PAR” by Tempa T

Maybe you remember when I wrote about the Wooster Collective. This also is amazing street art. Check this video:

I first saw Sparlha Swa at the New Museum when I was there to check out beatbox extraordinaire, Adam Matta. The stories this guy can tell just by making sounds with his mouth are incredible. Performing with him was the lovely, Sparlha Swa. On an acoustic guitar and singing along with his sounds blew me away. Her voice is velvety, unique, reaching, and great to sing along to. She recently came out with a new album, Live From NYC. Definitely looking forward to checking out this album.
