Vans Iphone Case

The Vans iPhone case is one of a kind. The iconic shoe company recently put out a promotional design inspired by their classic shoe's soles. In fact, if one were to look just at this pattern, they could be forgiven for thinking it was actually a shoe.

The side of the casing even mirrors that which is found on Vans shoes. The clean white trim encases the phone, contrasting surprisingly well with the brown, waffle-like pattern on the broad sides to produce a retro 70s aesthetic that yet maintains modern sensibilities—it is an iPhone case, after all.

Originally, the case was to be simply a one-off promotional design. Then a few bloggers got wind of it and lobbied the skater clothing and accessories giant to make more.

It’s currently sold out from all Vans stores, but can be found on eBay for around rm100++

Jason Wu x Kaws

This spring-summer, the designer Jason Wu invited the New-York-based artist KAWS to update its seasonal floral print. KAWS placed his signature hands on the floral pattern, as a playful commentary on how many hands go into the making of one garment. Jason Wu also presents us with an exclusive candle, developed in collaboration with Laura Slatkin, designer of the candle label Nest.

Google Doodle: Celebrated Gideon Sundback

Gideon Sundback celebrated with an interactive zipper Google doodle on the search engine's homepage.

 

Google's latest doodle, a giant zipper running down the centre of the search engine's homepage, marks the birthday of Gideon Sundback, the Swedish-American electrical engineer most commonly associated with the development of the fastening device that revolutionised the clothing industry.

Before Sundback's intervention, the idea for a fastener based on interlocking teeth had circulated among engineers for more than 20 years but no one had perfected it.

His innovation was to place a dimple on the underside of each tooth and a nib on the top that would sit securely within the dimple of the tooth above it.

As a result, the join between two rows of teeth was then strong because no single tooth has enough room to move up or down and come apart. He also created the manufacturing machine for the new zipper.
Born on April 24, 1880, in Småland, Sweden, he moved to Germany following his studies and emigrated in 1905 to the US, where he started to work at Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

A year later, he was hired to work for the Universal Fastener Company in Hoboken, New Jersey, and became its head designer in 1909.

Sundback initially proposed the new zipper as a replacement for hook-and-eye fasteners on women's boots but it had become a regular feature for the flies of trousers and on dresses by the 1930s.

Sundback died of a heart condition in 1954 and was interred at Greendale cemetery in Meadville, Pennsylvania.

Marc Newson's Ikepod watch brand collaboration with graffiti artist turned painter/ sculptor/ designer Kaws.

KAWS personally designed the dial of this special Horizon, and nobody plays the line between art and time better than Ikepod, so it is a perfect collaboration for both parties.  This is the type of watch that could be massively collectible down the line.

The Horizon watch comes with a titanium case, Caliber ETA 2892, sapphire crystal, diameter of 44mm, is water resistant up to 50 m and has a dial and rubber band designed by Kaws. It will release in overall 4 colorways, featuring the Kaws Chum design and X-Eye hands. It will go for 14′000 USD, yet we do not have a release date for the moment.
