Brokenfab calls their technique 'disco beading,' a phrase both apt and awesome. (Via Style Bubble.)

We've been drinking coffee and listening to house music all day—again. Fortunately, there are videos, like this one, that are a little more soothing to the soul. (Via Pitchfork.)

With their FW09 collection, Uniforms for the Dedicated has done it again, making a surreal music video based off of the world of Lewis Carroll and featuring original remixes.

Permanent Vacation AW '09

permalink

Permanent Vacation's fall collection arrives, with denim batik, after-ski stuff, and lots of cozy plaid. It's pretty damn sexy—or that could just be the models.

The AW '09 moving lookbook by Jojo & Malou is as much fun to watch as the clothes are to wear.

Permanent Vacation

permalink

Design collective Permanent Vacation has an office on the third-longest street on the west coast of Sweden, and it's decor was inspired by an R.Kelly song. One of their many projects is a beautiful fashion collection that, fortunately, doesn't appear to be R.Kelly-inspired.

Fever Ray "When I Grow Up"

permalink

Captivatingly beautiful in a very un-nerving way, this video for Fever Ray's "When I Grow Up" is on par with Sigur Rós's "Glósóli" for its haunting depiction of childhood.

Lisa Bengtsson's designs show up on everything from paper to pillows and plates, and we particularly like this rich, trippy wallpaper.

Åsa Jungnelius

permalink

Artist Åsa Jungnelius creates stereotypical feminine and feminist objects out of sculpted glass—from fairy tale slippers, realistic bottles of nail polish and tubes of lipstick to giant diamond-studded dildos. As the artist statement on her website says, "Her craft revolves around aesthetic hierarchies, shifts of value, bling-bling, fashion, shopping, and the social construction of gender roles." Well done.

Let The Right One In

permalink

Let The Right One in, the Swedish answer to Twilight, opens in more select theaters this weekend. Just listening to the trailer—rife with the sound of flesh-crunching bites and sloppy blood slurping—is enough to make you want to start stockpiling garlic and silver bullets. Chilly.

We would be really happy if we woke up on December 25th and there was one of these stuffed in our stocking. We'd also really wonder how Santa did it. (Via Scout Holiday.)

Cheap Monday aren't the only brand doing dip dye jeans this season and even though theirs are totally covetable, this is surely a project you can try at home with some Rit Dye and an old pair of light denim.

Sandra Backlund’s anthropomorphic knitwear looks like it could swallow you in one gulp, and by calling her collection "Last Breath Bruises," she implies that it could, too.
