Yoyogi Village – Tokyo
Yoyogi Village is an awe-inspiring urban retreat that boasts a verdant garden sanctuary right in the heart of Tokyo. Designed by Wonderwall and a suite of other designers, the leafy spot is situated very close to the JR Yoyogi Station and houses the Code Kurkku restaurant as well as a tranquil garden filled to the brim with lush greenery. Most enviably of all, a massive living wall that can be seen from just about every part of the restaurant brightens and freshens up the entire dining experience. Step in to experience a small measure of the peace that this extraordinary mini village bestows upon the local Japanese.

Kanye West Announces New Design Company Called DONDA
Kanye West has announced the launch of his new design company, DONDA, set to create “products and experiences” for people. The company will encompass 22 different divisions, including architects, graphic designers, directors, producers, social media experts, publishers, lawyers, nutritionists, scientists, doctors, teachers, A&R’s, etc. Through numerous tweets, Yeezy revealed that he intends to “help simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see hear, touch, taste and feel.”
The multi-faceted artist further clarified recent reports about his upcoming clothing line for women by negating that it would be named “DW” after his mother, Dr. Donya West, “The name of the line is Kanye West not DW,…the DW was a design element placed on the invite in homage to my mom.” All the proceeds from his hit albums like The Throne’s Watch The Throne have been invested in his entire endeavor within the fashion world, “You guys might think I have some type of backing for my line but I don’t,” Kanye said. “I did the first fashion show out of my own pocket and used the money I made touring to follow my passion. I’ve been working at this for 8 years now.”
In addition, he offered a personal recount on his deep dedication in fashion, asserting that his international reputation has been rather an obstacle than help,
““For the first 16 or 17 years of my life the only thing I knew about my woman’s clothing was what my Mom would wear. I guess some critics would joke that I still don’t know anything LOL. The teachers said I couldn’t focus… I used to get kicked out of class for bringing dirty mags and drawing Nikeys in 4th grade…Being a celebrity has afforded me many opportunities but has also boxed me in creatively,” Kanye revealed. “What good is fame and prestige if you can’t use it to help people… I want to help by doing what I know how to do best .. create.””
Furthermore, Kanye stated that he intends to reshape the American school system, which he says was “designed to turn people into factory workers.” That includes starting a summer school with director Spike Jonze. “There are so many broken systems from the economy to school systems jail systems… we need experts for this.” Ambitious plans indeed.

‘Tom Ford Documentary’ by OWN Visionaries
Style Forum Special from Music Guy on Vimeo.
Designer Tom Ford recently made headlines with his straightforward quotes in an article in Interview magazine where he admitted that he lusts after beautiful women. In this forty minute interview, Tom Ford reveals more brutally honest opinions on life and the fashion industry.
Produced by Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) Visionaries, the normally reclusive designer allows cameras to follow him through design processes, photoshoots, the debut of his women’s’ collection and the opening of his flagship store in Los Angeles while providing commentary on topics from fashion, brand development, producing and directing his first film (i.e. The Single Man) and his own personal discovery.
The documentary provides an insight into the mind of Tom Ford who has gained tremendous success in the competitive fashion industry and reveals someone who is genuinely in-touch with what is important in life amidst an extremely superficial community.

Apple to launch completely redesigned iPhone in Fall 2012
BGR Article –
BGR has learned a number of details surrounding Apple’s next-generation iPhone from a close source. For starters, we can now confidently say that Apple’s next iPhone will launch in the fall next year, around the same time that this year’s iPhone 4S launched. We have also learned that Apple is planning to use a rubber or plastic material — similar to the material used in the company’s bumper cases — that will be built into the new iPhone case. In all likelihood, this material will be used as a bezel surrounding the front edge of the phone (like the iPhone 3GS bezel) and it will serve two purposes. First, it will join the glass iPhone face with a new aluminum back plate. It will also cover a redesigned antenna system that surrounds the device, allowing Apple to build the rear case out of aluminum without having to use a large plastic insert above the antennas as the company does on its iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Earlier reports suggested that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will feature an aluminum case similar to the one found on the iPad 2, as well as a larger display around 4 inches.
