from the earthenware metro tiles of paris’ underground.’ To me they mostly just look like handgrenades and could make those pink flowers a bit more masculine. (designboom)

Traditionally menswear and unisex brand Cassette Playa has branched out into womenswear, although enigmatic designer Carrie Mundane hasn’t sacrificed an iota of her vision in doing so. The London based designer believes that clothing is an extension of the self, the avatar of one’s persona projected into reality – the concept of clothing as a second skin is especially important to her. As a parallel to the Cassette Playa vision, the incorporation of Augmented Reality technology into her runway production brings a whole new level of personality and depth to the collection.

In this short video doc, VICE catches up with Nikki in her NYC studio and gets an in-depth look at the concept behind her photography work. Nikki’s most notable pieces are her “projects” – interacting with different groups of people, she transforms herself into one of them and documents the experience with casual point and shoot snapshots. Her work always involves others; she believes that the self cannot be fully understood outside the context of human interaction.

There is often more than meets the eye when it comes to well designed shirting – this rich navy ‘Safari’ piece from Norse Projects’ Summer collection is full of small, subtle surprises. Contrasting white buttons, roll-up sleeve detailing, and cheekily designed front pockets make this a clever choice for those adventurous summer evenings that run deep and long. A great ‘everyday’ shirt, and at £80 (approx. $120), a paltry sum for this high quality staple.

Imagine to receive a letter, telling you to stand in your window at a specific time at night with the light turned on, and an anonymous photographer will take your photo. That was what these people did. There was no other contact than the letter. The request came from Japanese born Shizuka Yokomizo, who made the exibition “Strangers” – pictures consisting of strangers in their windows at night. Enjoy.
