Logan Real x Converse
Logan e-mailed me this morning with yet another one of his latest custom designed creations. All I can say is FRESSSHHHH! Check out Logans collection of custom designed shoes/accessories, etc. here.
PS - Attention Converse… Sign Logan ASAP!
LOGAN REAL
Last time I wrote about Logan Real it was about his RED Collection. (click RED for memories) Back then I was blown away by the simplicity and detail of his custom design work.
So it should come as no surprise that one of his most recent creations is equally as stunning >
All wallets are one of a kind,.. and are done completely free hand. Check out the signature stained glass-mosaic design. The clean, detailed and multi-colored design represents elegance, diversity, open-mindedness, and the pursuit of growth as an individual.
$1million Bombay Sapphire Revelation
Spotted @ Trendhunter >
Karim Rashid designed five elegant bottles in the shape of enormous jewels for the Bombay Sapphire Revelation Collection. Gerrard designed the diamond and sapphire caps, Baccarat is the crystal, and the drink inside is Bombay Sapphire gin. Each bottle is priced at $200,000, making the entire collection worth $1 million.
Near the end of March 2008, each jeweled crystal bottle will be prominently displayed at a New York, London, Dubai, and Singapore airport. The purchaser will also receive a year’s supply of Bombay Sapphire gin. Proceeds will benefit The Smile Train charity.

Kool Reeboks
In one of the more unlikely collaborations,.. (shoes + beverage) Reebok and Kool Aid have teamed up to bring you classic kicks + flavor> The Kool-aid Reebok Collection. Look out for Grape, Strawberry and Cherry (already) launched 2/1. Or if you prefer the taste,.. *I mean look* of citrus then wait for Orange, Lemon and Lime to hit stores on 3/15.
$50-$75 > can be purchased at undergroundstation or select Reebok retailers nationwide.
All sneaks come with scent-infused sock liners. Seriously.

60 Unite for UNICEF
Spotted over at JoshSpear >
“To commemorate its 60-year anniversary of fighting for children’s rights, UNICEF used its exceptional talent in organizing people for a worthy cause to gather the work of 60 renowned artists for a just-released anthology called 60, Unite for Children. Illustrators and graphic designers like Joshua Davis, Tokidoki, The Ronin and Tara McPherson contributed interpretations of their world views to the 180-page tome, some of which the book’s website material warns are “abstract, others more explicit; some will be radiant, others dark and pessimistic.” 60, Unite for Children kicks off a worldwide traveling exhibit for a year that will begin in November. There are only 2,000 copies of this book around, and all profits from the sale of book will go back to UNICEF.”
Get one before they’re all gone.

Zaha Hadid (RED) Aqua Table
Another product release from the (RED) campaign. This (RED) Aqua Table is designed by famous architect Zaha Hadid. Priced @ $49,560,.. it’s probably just a bit out of your (at least my) price range,.. but it’s nice to look and all the profits are going to support the Global Fund.
Creature Hoodie
Check out these Creature Hoodies from RocketWorld >
“Rocket World’s Creature Hoodie stems from the immensely popular line of gun-toting, renegade animals. Limited to only 444 pieces…. ”There are 2 zippered hand warmer pockets, with inside stash pockets, a left sleeve slot for your Sharpie marker and an iPod pocket (with a head phone wire slot)… + plastic nose and plush, toylike ears”….Each hoodie includes a covert, I.W.G. logo embroidered patch that attaches to the hoodie via Velcro. Rocket World sells additional patches that you can pick up as add-ons. Also included with each creature hoodie is an exclusive I.W.G. mini figure – Terminator Septimius.”
Looks cozy and comfy,.. and with only 444 available you better hurry up and get one before they’re all gone! Oh and the best part is a portion of the proceeds are donated to select Wildlife Groups.

Louis Vuitton + Takashi Murakami = MOCA
Spotted over @ PSFK >
“In October, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles will make a move unprecedented in museum history. It will feature the work of artist Takashi Murakami alongside a pop-up version of a Louis Vuitton store selling luxury leather goods in the middle of the exhibition.
Murakami has specifically designed bags and accessories for this exhibit. As an artist, he has sought to break the barriers between low and high art. Housing a luxury brand within a non-profit gallery accomplishes this task.
The shop-gallery will offer limited-edition handbags at $875 to $920 featuring designs by the Japanese artist. MOCA will not receive any rental fees or profits from the shop. The exhibition runs from October 29 and runs through February 11.”
MOCA won’t receive any rental fee or profits?… @ $900 a bag I’m sure they could get a little something.

{side note} > Check out the artwork that Murakami designed for KanYe Wests’ new album.
22 Flavours
Check out this tasty project called 22 Flavours I spotted over at JoshSpear >
“All-around lifestyle site Lifelounge launched a new charity project recently called the 22 Flavours project. They’ve invited 22 hot/new/swanky/sweet artists and designers each to design a t-shirt based on a flavor: cotton candy, banana split, strawberries & cream, etc. Each design will be printed on 22 t-shirts and sold for 22 days on the Lifelounge website, and all of the proceeds will benefit a charity to feed the homeless called Street Smart Australia.”
Great idea/concept,..! All the flavours sound great and the designs that have been posted so far are equally delicious. Own a great looking tee and help out a great cause at the same time. Whoever said,.. “you shouldn’t play with your food..” obviously wasn’t using their imagination. Go visit 22Flavours
