Philips Design.
As apart of an ongoing SKIN research, Philips Design Probe brought us fashion for the skin. The garments are designed to display an electronic interaction with fabrics. The two featured garments are “Bubelle ” and “Frision“.
Bubelle patterns change according to skin contact and Frision reacts to air and starts the constellation of small LEDs, yet they both prove to be useful and inspiring when combined with one another. There is a full-length video on YouTube that you can watch. It talks about and visualizes the combination of color - lights and fabric all meshed together to create something beyond amazing.

Tracing the Market: Sobral
(New York, New York) Last Friday marked the opening of Brazilian jewelry label SOBRAL’s store opening in SOHO. Despite the night’s rain making for a messy commute, the bright and colorful pieces showcased throughout the store (add: and the cocktails) had me longing for a vacation in Sao Paulo or Bahia. Recognized as eco-friendly wares (all pieces are made from recycled materials) each piece, designed by Carlos Alberto Rezende Sobral, is a vibrant and unique artistic display, that doesn’t carry a hefty price point (Multi colored Lucite necklaces retail at approximately $120.00 USD). Even with a wide range of accessories, the designer manages to bring his aesthetic to home decor via toilet seats, lamps, picture frames, vases and wall art all made from resin. Although this store marks the designers first large scale foray into the US market, he is not a novice. The designer has been at it since the 60’s and has retail outlets in Argentina and Paris, France.
In 2004, 2005 and 2006 SOBRAL won the Bijorcha Eclat de Mode Fashion Accessory award. He also was responsible for the sickening coned bauble jewelry that graced Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring 2008 runway. The verdict: Definitely worth a visit. www.sobralusa.com (412 Broadway NY, NY 10012 T:212.226.2710) Lindo maravilhoso!—J. Dwayne Joseph

TRACE on standby by for London’s Frieze Art Fair
Given the current economic climate and that we may be in the midst of a recession - you don’t say – the Frieze Art Fair is resolutely going on ahead (and at full throttle). 165 galleries are participating in the London based fair - that’s 14 more than last year - and though 28 pulled out, they were quickly replaced.
The Fair comes to town next week, setting up camp in Regent’s Park from the 15th to the 18th of October, ready to welcome more than 12,000 visitors a day.
Gallery giants like London’s White Cube and New York’s The Gagosian will be exhibiting their wares alongside smaller spaces hailing from all over - from Norway or Portugal to Slovenia, the United Arab Emirates and including many of our very own NY dealers: Space 94, Broadway 1602 and Team Gallery.
But it’s not all about the money. No it’s not. There’ll be a chance to see some art, in a frenetic, overwhelming sort of way. This is a market, but instead of fruit, veg or meat on the stalls, it’ll be a Bacon – and that’ll be a cool nine million sterling.
Frame is the section of the Fair devoted to promising artists exhibiting at galleries younger than six years old. This will be a chance to spot the next new thing from less predictable sources: Rodeo from Istanbul, Project 88 from Mumbai and Melbourne’s Neon Parc.
In addition there’ll be a plethora of talks, dances, performance art and the crème de la crème of the ‘glitterarty’.
Check out www.friezeartfair.com for details.

Homage To Her
Whenever I am asked to describe the female hustle, I say “it is the most demanding hustle the world has ever seen.” This is not an attempt to dismiss those who consider themselves as such, but it is declaration that understands the high demands of her world. Yes, you may see her walking down the street in her prissy heels, carrying a designer bag, and looking as if she barely lifts a manicured finger, but if you took the time to tune in to her story you will discover that She is a lot more than those shoes and that bag. She probably walked (in those heels) all day, carrying a portfolio full of business ideas (disguised in that designer bag), while counting (on her manicured fingers) the many things she’ll need to do before the day is through. What some refer to as the ‘work-it-girl‘, she is not your average stick in the mud hottie, this girl is a force driven by the dream of establishing her own while remaining a lady. ‘Miss Independent’ is just a transparent title for what she is truly all about…
