Sai Tung, please!
February 4th, 2011

I recently read in the New Yorker about Tavi Gevinson, a teenage fashion blogger from the suburbs of Chicago. I am sure a lot of people are very familiar with her by now, as she has the fashion world at her feet. 
What’s in a ring?
December 1st, 2010
Design is meant to surprise, delight, inspire, and provoke. It allows us to manifest a point of view and impact how people experience the world. To keep the poetic minds of our designers engaged we find it useful—necessary, in fact—to tease out the elemental powers of creative expression through conceptual exploration. (more…)
