Dot Boots by Manolo Blahnik & Damien Hirst

Posted: 25 Sep 2011 09:51 AM PDT

When two of the world renowned artists joined force, Manolo Blahnik- a shoe designer and Damien Hirst- an artist famed for his spot painting, a 'Dot' Boots was born. Exploiting the Pop and Op evocations of Hirst's pattern of identically sized dots evenly spaced on a grid, Blahnik reprises the 1960s "go-go" boot. Coincidentally, this collaboration predated by a few months Louis Vuitton's launch of its Takashi Murakami patterned bags.

"I have always been an admirer of Damien Hirst, so I jumped at the opportunity to work with his prints. I made two boots—both very simple because I wanted Mr. Hirst's work to be the main focus and not the shoes. One is this from the 'Spots' series, and the other a 'Splash.' Of the two, this is my favorite. Spots have always been a favorite theme with me, but I love the way that Hirst places them in this rigid, repetitive format. It looks very disciplined but at the same time is very playful—thanks to the fun colors that represent chemicals, giving the whole piece a dark undertone, which I find very clever." —Manolo Blahnik

Hotel For 'The Dead People' Open In Japan

A Tokyo non-profit has opened a storage facility for corpses awaiting funerals. It's billed as a "business hotel for the dead." The LISS Center Shin-Kiba facility, which is run by funeral-arranging non-profit LISS System, can store up to 37 bodies in rooms with antibacterial lights, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported Monday. The rooms cost $88 per night and the center also offers assistance with arranging for morticians and setting up funerals.

"Bereaved families usually are rushed to decide on a mortician and often have problems later regarding the funeral," said Nyokai Matsushima of LISS System. "We want the families to have time to think, so they can decide on a satisfactory ceremony while their deceased relatives have a place to rest (temporarily) at our 'business hotel.'"

Concept bike - Aprilia Easyrider Motorbike by Roberto Vernile

Concept bike: Aprilia Easyrider Motorbike concept by Roberto Vernile

Looks like a dream bike to you? Well, probably the possession of such a bike is a dream for many bike lovers across the world. But that was a thing of past. Now you can own this beauty in reality. Here is a bike based on the Easy rider Concept which has been designed by Roberto Vernile in collaboration with Aprilia.

This bike has everything you always desired to have in your bike and the most unique feature it provides you with is the concept of total personalization. This concept allows you to move the seat, handlebars and the foot pegs, as the chassis is adjustable according to your specific requirements. The frame of this bike is made of Trellis (a lattice of light wooden or metal parts)and the various parts are linked to each other by modular connections.

The rider has also an option of choosing his posture while driving. He can either choose a posture as that of a racer (that is a position in which the rider bends down) or may choose to drive with an upright posture as seen in bikes usually. This convenience in making choices is greatly featured by the special seat which is made of Technogel. A major problem with today’s bikes is the storage space associated with them. A bike lover may have to compromise with the look of the bike in order to have adequate storage space.

But this issue is dealt with effectively and efficiently in this Easyrider concept by providing you enough space for helmet, navigation system or airbox. For sports riding, you have the option of replacing the front (made of perspex) with a smaller windshield. There are three brake pads available for usage without any difficulty of replacement by any tools. This wonderful project is believed to have a powerful 1200cc twin engine so that you can zoom around on the roads for longer distances at thrilling speeds.

This bike is meant for those people who are in need for a perfect combination of power, speed, durability and convenience in riding in addition to stunning looks and design. The customization of the bike is the most important feature that will attract many bike lovers because they will have options to choose from, based on their requirements. Ride hard, but safe!
