The WHY Wally-Hermès Yachts , designed and developed by the Why team, are part of the Hermès luxury brand. The 900 square meters of solar panels produce 500KWh of electricity per day. Features include the 25M temperature-controlled swimming pool at the front, a crew of 20, space for you and 12 of your friends and a maximum speed of 14 Knots. All this for the cost of something in the range of $90M pounds.

‘everybody’s dream is to live on an island, in complete freedom, without constraint, with the independence that only self-sufficiency can provide. a piece of land with a beautiful villa partly fulfils this aspiration because it is static. a yacht offers the freedom to move, but does not have the space of a property. WHY has it all: space, stability, movement, independence, peace. WHY goes even further. this revolutionary concept of the moving island is developed with the latest and most advanced sustainable technologies, recycling thermal energy, as well as any organic and inorganic waste. the architecture of the whole project fits perfectly in the environment – there are no excesses, nothing is superfluous, the impact on the sea is minimum. a new and unique way to live on the sea while caring about it, protecting it, and loving it. all this has always been my dream too, and when I met pierre-alexis dumas I realised that this dream could come true thanks to the common values and ethical principles we share.’ luca bassani antivari, president and CEO of Wally / via designboom

Alexander McQueen

This man work had change Fashion in so many way….OMG I dont know what to said, i am in shock.

Here are some quote from the The Times

“Alexander McQueen, one of Britain’s most successful fashion designers, was found dead today at his home in London after committing suicide on the eve of his mother’s funeral.

Speculation mounted tonight that McQueen had been unable to come to terms with the death of his mother, who died on February 2 and whose funeral is to be held in East London tomorrow.

A spokeswoman for the designer said: “Mr McQueen was found dead this morning at his home. We’re devastated and I hope you understand that out of respect to his family and his colleagues we’re not going to be making any further statement.”

His death comes just days before London Fashion Week, which is due to open on February 19, and as final preparations were being made to unveil a spring collection in Paris

McQueen was one of six children born to an East End taxi driver. He left school at 16 and started his professional life as a tailor’s apprentice on Savile Row, where his clients included Mikhail Gorbachev and the Prince of Wales.

After spending some time working for Koji Tatsuno, he went to Milan to work for Romeo Gigli, then enrolled on his return at the Central St Martins School of Art and Design – where Isabella Blow bought his entire graduation collection and persuaded him to launch his career under the name Alexander McQueen – using his middle name rather than his real first name, Lee.

His early runway collections relied largely on the shock factor, but McQueen hit the mainstream when he was chosen to succeed John Galliano at Givenchy in 1996. He stayed with the fashion house until 2001 but left to concentrate on his own label which was 51 per cent owned by Gucci.

Alexandra Shulman, editor of British Vogue, said: “Lee McQueen influenced a whole generation of designers. His brilliant imagination knew no bounds as he conjured up collection after collection of extraordinary designs.

“At one level he was a master of the fantastic, creating astounding fashion shows that mixed design, technology and performance and on another he was a modern-day genius whose gothic aesthetic was adopted by women the world over.

“His death is the hugest loss to anyone who knew him and for very many who didn’t.”

the designer Karl Lagerfeld had a more sombre reflection: “In his (McQueen’s) work, he always flirted with death. We don’t know the reasons but it’s proof that success and talent alone are not enough to make someone happy. But there was always a little dehumanised side in his work, I found. Like a sort of detachment from the world and reality. Fashion is like that… If you don’t have a solid stomach and your head screwed on, you are exposed to anxieties, to things like that.”

Emanuel Ungaro Spring / Summer 2010

The  new Emanuel Ungaro Spring Summer 2010 with Lindsay Lohan’s as an artistic director. The collection of mostly cocktail and party dresses, its look like what Lindsay wears in the last couple year while she was being photographed by tabloids newspaper. the collection  lack of creativity and looks more like a school fashion show.

Emanuel Ungaro who sold his label back in 2005 was not happy with what he see, “well on its way to “losing its soul. This happens to a lot of designers. We were creator/owners, responsible for both the designs of the house and its destiny. But when you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.” Said Ungaro.

copyright and fashion?

as a designer, I have my fair share of designs copied by bigger manufacture, that’s why I work on a more avant garde culture project. The cut/painting/embroidered and beading,  make its harder to copy at a production level with out losing the essence of the design.

The copyright issue come up during London fashion week, at Trelise Cooper show. One of the her design for the 2010 summer collection have already been on sale at a British chain store since July 2009.

In July, London-based designer Markus Lupfer released a grey jersey with the same red ribbon embroidery through Topshop.

Cooper said she had documentary proof of her chain of supply and timeline and that she had not seen Lupfer’s design until approached after her show at Fashion Week. “I didn’t even know it was in Topshop.”

AUT University law professor Noel Cox, an intellectual property expert, said fashion designers were extended the same protection under copyright law as authors, musicians and artists.

“Fashion is a form of intellectual property, and is no different from a book or a work of art.”

Cox said a party could launch breach of copyright action over the affair but any financial compensation would be minimal. He added that the real damages would be done to reputations.
