Rest In Progress, Lee Alexander McQueen (1969-2010)

On 11th of February 2010 the world has lost a great designer, visionary and beautiful mind.

We deeply feel with his close ones and beside a tragic loss of a wonderful individual, it’s also a big loss for the world of fashion and the world of creatives in general.

What made his work interesting for us as visual designers and VJs is the fact, that he didn’t stop at putting some of the most amazing designs on his models.

He is also responsible for wonderful and inspiring structures, textures and prints on fabric and every show was more than just walking beauties.

Looking at some of the prints and textures alone immediately switches our brains into creative mode and inspires us. It lets our minds wander and fly.

And he always pushed the boundaries of showing fashion by imagining new and often shocking ways to present his work.

We want to recall just a small part of his vision, spirit and (more recent) work here.

Rest In Progress, Lee Alexander McQueen.

Sleek Interactive Project For Volkswagen By Onesize And Heerko Groefsema

“In cooperation with Onesize, I [Heerko Groefsema] worked on Volkswagen Efficiency and BlueMotionTechnologies interactive movie. While taking a thrilling ride with a roller-coaster all different efficiency and BlueMotion technologies are explained to the viewer. The viewer can decide on which subject he wants more info. This meant making a lot of different movies which will seamlessly blend together. In the movie above you can see some excerpts from the whole interactive movie.” Heerko Groefsema

Cuisine Horror Show From The 1960′s

Vegetarians and vegans beware! This is NSFW!

As this blog is about everything visual we really had to post this, because it’s one of those things that are visually attracting and disgusting at the same time (an effect that simply causes standing still and staring).

Flickr user Jello Kitty has a very interesting, but also very disturbing set of pictures, mainly taken from french cookbooks from the 1960′s (link after the jump).

Most of these creations remind of monsters, bugs or scenes taken from horror movies and others simply show a lack of respect for those creatures who had to die in order to prepare the meal.

It’s also an interesting start for a discussion, because we live in a time in which most people don’t really (want to) know what they are eating and also many eat meat, but don’t want to face the facts where it’s coming from or how it’s “produced”.

But before I fall into a philosophical monolog … here are some of our “favourites”.
