Taipei Performing Arts Center Building Proposal- NL Architects

Images Via Laissez Faire

I love the purity if this proposed design submitted by NL Architects for Taipei Performing Arts Building. I can imagine myself standing the middle of the plaza observing at my surrounding as if the interaction between the visitors and the building interior as a performance. It would be fun too looking at the building elevator going up and down from the exterior. Even thou at the end OMA won the project, I still think NL's proposal is more poetic and has a better concept serving it's purpose as a performing arts building. AND PREETIER TOOO!!!! Sorry Kolhaas this time your design doesn't do anything to me. In my opinion OMA's building proposal looks way too stubby and clumsy looking...hmmpphh.... See more of the beautiful NL Architects proposal here.

Chanel AW09 Jade Baubles

I cought a glimpse of Chanel's AW09 jade jewelry and I freaked out (in an amusing way). This is so different than classic Chanel style. Touches of pink and green jade appeared to be very fresh and fun againts Chanel's signature balck and white. Oooh....Kaiser Karl you did it again this time, c'est très génie !. See the entire collection fashion show below.

Maria Lucia Hohan

Another talented young designer just detected by my radar, Maria Lucia Hohan. This Romanian pret-a-porter line is ridiculously cute, girly and sexy in a haute-couture way. I lust over her beautifully crafted head pieces and belts as well. Fabulous color pallete and beautifully crafted details are consistent through-out this A/W09 Collection. She is currently showing in Paris and LA pret-a-porter showrooms. To see more of her talents click here. Images Via Maria Lucia Hohan Blog.

It's been a while since I heard about this movie's buzz last year right after the production of Lifetime TV's version of Coco Chanel's movie (starring Shierley McLaine as older Coco). I must say I saw the Lifetime's version and I found it pretty hmmm.....okay to.....lame. Sorry. The set and costumes are beautiful thou. So I have high hopes for this wide screen version. Besides, Audrey Tautou is my girl :)
