Paths To Success In The International Art World: Internet
Multimedia artist Jaakko Pallasvuo has created a video series on "Paths To Success In The International Art World," covering everything from the importance of location to how to master the art of crafting. My favorite segment so far is his video on how to use the internet to gain such success. His best piece of advice? "Keep a door to irony open at all times. When challenged back out through it." Such profound wisdom! - Hazel
Joan Salo
Until rainy days look a little more like Joan Saló's colored pen works, we'd prefer some sunshine. In the mean time, we will just have to stare at these images again and again.

Neozoon
Neozoon (roughly translated to "animal introduced into the wild by humans") is the female street art duo transforming old fur coats into art. "We create animals that used to live here, who were driven off by the city," says one of the artists, whose work is so popular that it's usually torn down as a "prize" within days.
Agathe Snow x MYKITA
So stoked on these limited edition shades from Agathe Snow's collaboration with MYKITA for a new exhibition in Germany. The hand painted skylines on the lenses (which are only visible when they're not being worn) on these neon pink/black metal frames surely define wearable art. X - Jen
Wup Wup
The name of Wup Wup Family's latest collection translates into "dancing is also sport," which is obvious to anyone who's ever come home sweaty after a night on the dance floor.
Martin Fengel
Every new subway station in Munich is to be decorated by an artist and Moosach is the newest opening. Photographer Martin Fengel spent a year finding the perfect nature shots from the surrounding countryside to slap on the subway's 140m walls.

After years of working for Dior and as head designer at H&M, Berlin-based designer Clarissa Labin has finally launched her own line of jersey-wear and knits. With a yellow tunic of pillowy folds and a dress intertwined with a Rapunzel-like braid, this is one line where the devil is definitely in the details.
