Today I leave you all in the company of an wonderful and extraordinary photographer from Germany, Dirk Behlau.

Everyone knows Tokyo and Japan are two major referencies in fashion, style and inovation.
Everyone knows Japan is unique, there is anime, manga, big lighting billboards, super high buildings... oh I could go on for ages!

Well http://tokyofashion.com/ is this lovely website where everyday, at least one picture of japanese street fashion style is posted for our entertaiment. And thank God for it. You really can see how fashion can be anything you want and not what big clothing brands tries to tell you, no...
Mixing colors, fabrics, textures, everything is allowed, there are no rules, limits or bunderies in Tokyo Fashion Style. A great daily inspiration for us, eastern folks!

A quick note! This website makes me feel like I'm a normal person and not 'freak and against all odes' girl! You will feel it to!
Check also their blog http://tokyo-fashion.tumblr.com/
and twitter pics: http://twitpic.com/photos/TokyoFashion for tasty sushi pics.

Enjoy.

P.S. - Due to a technical problem that Ididn't have nothing to do about it, this post wasn't published like should have been on November 4. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Today this rubric its all about drawing and honestly should have a red dot on the corner, because the 'guest' is Juan Francisco Casas, a spanish artist that has a unique talent to draw and his style is very close to pornography.

Nevertheless, its amazing! His drawings are so real that you need to find the pencil stroke in order to know 'its a drawing'...
Once again, viewers discretion is advised.

FastCo.Design website must be known by many of you, I sure.

This is one website where design, marketing and creativity are combined. One big mix that I enjoy most.
Issue subject combine between all design areas and of course, marketing in a very simple, clean and frontal way. Its a good reference to maintain our acknowledgement level high.

I also want to notice that another thing very interessing in this website is the fact that all colaborators came form diferent areas, but in certain way these areas touches creativity and they teaches us to use our daily objects and sujects to inovate.

I advice to take a good look!

Today we commemorate World Industrial Design Day! It is a big step for all Industrial Designers all over the world to be able to commemorate and promote Industrial Design.

A little bit around the world, several activities are presented to a big public. Unfortunately, in Portugal there is no special activity about this day. I only hope one day, in every country, we could enjoy this day, promote our profession and show the importancy of Industrial Design in everyday life objects.
