From 1962 to 1972, George Lois changed the face
of magazine design with his ninety-two covers for
Esquire magazine. He stripped the cover down
to a graphically concise yet conceptually potent
image that ventured beyond the mere illustration of
a feature article. Lois exploited the communicative
power of the mass-circulated front page to
stimulate and provoke the public into debate,
pressing Americans to confront controversial
issues like racism, feminism, and the Vietnam War.
Now you can check the collection at MoMA, NY as
a visual timeline and a window onto the turbulent
events of the 1960s. - VIA MoMA

The top French fashion house Hermès has teamed up with Eurocopter to
creater a luxury helicopter. The interior has been covered in fabrics and
leather to minimise noise and vibration, including Toile H, a material used for
Hermès travel accessories since the 1920’s.“This is a genuine collaboration
in industrial design and one that is unusual given our respective areas of
expertise. By working so closely together, and combining the talent of
Eurocopter’s engineers with that of our designer, Gabriele Pezzini, and
our skilled craftsmen, both companies have taken a major step forward in
improving the experience of travel by helicopter,” said François Taverne,
Chairman of Hermès Gainier.

JonasWiehager
Have you ever seen an icon "¥$£" on
the street and wondered what is the
connection between it and YSL? Actually
it's by Jonas Wiehager, the founder
of Sportif, Stockholm, and there is no
connection between it and YSL. Actually,
¥$£ refers to "¥our $weden £uxury"
and we think, although we didn't ask
Jonas the question, it might be a little
joke on the fashion world and drive the
consumers to rethink about the term
fashion.
Here is a short interview with Jonas. Let's
take this chance to know more about the
man behind the scene.

Hello Jonas! As Eero described you as a famous Stockholm character, could you please
introduce yourself to our readers? Born in May 1966 in Stockholm, started skating @
12 & Snowboarding @ 15. First as an Am then Pro doing the local tours & also the
Euro tours competing in slalom, moguls, 1/2pipe, derby & slope style. Then after
I broke my back a couple of times I focused my energy on the local club scene
playing records & doing clubs.
How did you start to run the street fashion business - Boutique Sportif? Being the
manager at the skate-stores Streetstyle, Systemett & G-spot in Stockholm. I saw
a gap in the market for street-wear and opened Boutique Sportif in 1998 with my
brother Thomas.
I heard that you do graphic design too. I have always been art-directing catalogues
& flyers for the companies I worked for, so when we opened Boutique Sportif I
started lo learn the Adobe programs to design stuff for the store.
What inspires your works the most? Mostly everyday life in Stockholm. But also
travel, history, politics & money.

Do you think there is any different between street-wear
in Europe and in the rest of the world? It definitely
has it’s own look’s all over the world. I think I’ve
seen it all, but it still surprises & inspires me. It’s
shooting off in so many new directions.
What kind of music do you like? I was brought up
on Abba & Pop, then exploring different genres
like punk rock, rock, Jamaican music, and now I
mostly listen to rap.
About Bout ique Fräsh, how d id you star t i t? Why
did you want to have the fa i r? I had no place in
Scandinavia to show my own collections, so I
started the show.
It started small with 10 brands in a friend’s art
gallery. The second show was 70 brands @ a hotel,
we are planning the next show right now @ Berns
salonger and will have over a 100 brands.
Do you cook? What is your comfort food? Cooking
is my hobby, i t 's a great way to re lax a l i t t le
everyday.
I prefer the European cuisine: Swedish, Italian &
of course French. My favourite dish? Depends on
what’s fresh for the season.
43
Could you choose one interest ing object from your
everyday life? And tell us why you like it? My Scooter,
its the perfect inner-city vehicle.
What is the most indispensable thing while you work?
Coffee & Cigarettes.
What does Design & Life mean to you? Waking up
early.
Any word for your friend, Eero (CKR)? I wanna thank
them all for designing my beautiful archipelago
retreat.

BMW recently revealed the GINA light visionary model concept car, an innovative
new exploration in car design. Instead of the traditional steel and plastic body shell,
the GINA concept uses a textile fabric starches over a wire frame. This unique
idea allows the car’s skin to change shape, stretching to match the position and
curve of the wire frame. This idea is demonstrated in the ‘blinking’; headlights and
the flexibility of the car doors as they open. The project began by questioning the
purpose of a car’s body and exploring new possibilities. Chris Bangle, director of
design for BMW, discuses the project in the video below. The car is currently on
show at the BMW museum in Munich, Germany.

Camper is one of the most famous shoe brand based in Spain. It was started as a shoe factory in 1877 by
Antonio Fluxà. The historical and social changes that occurred in Spain during the 70's were reflected in a
new way of life. New styles, new concepts.With the knowledge and efforts of two generations, the grandson
of Antonio, Lorenzo Fluxà, created CAMPER (“peasant” in Catelon) in 1975 and renovated the traditional
shoe making methods and moderated the craft concept to design products on a basis of function, freedom
and creativity. And today, CAMPER is the senior company in the sector in Spain, having maintained its
activity without interruption over the course of four generations.

The Graphic
Graphic communication has been a fundamental part of Camper since its foundation. Since selecting the newname CAMPER in 1975, they began to think
about how to spread the name and how to
transmit the idea of Camper. In 1981, they
have changed the logo to fit its first store in
Barcelona, a red background with white text,
and accidentally began the true graphic history of CAMPER. The
identity started to be used both inside and outside the store;
bags, boxes, posters, displays, advertisements, catalogues... and all of them became a part of the
brand’s universe.

After selling their shoes in the multi-brand store for years, Camper realized they need to create an
atmosphere of Camper image to communicate with their existing customers and reach their potential fans.
The shop is created a casual atmosphere with self-service concept and display shoes all on flat form. The
stocks are applied by models and sizes as part of store decoration. Every Camper is different with its
own personality, and they all transmit a reflection of each locations of each cities with the center spirit of
Mediterranean - the roots of Camper.
Camper is a brand inspired by the history, culture and landscape of Mediterranean; it is just like its graphic
reflecting a history of irony, humour, and imagination.

Casa Camper is a genuine 100% Camper product and not a licensed brand extension.
Twenty two years after opening the first shoe shop in Barcelona, Camper now open their
first hotel in the Raval district in collaboration with Vinçon's Fernando Amat and Jordi
Tió. It is an outstanding building located at the busy cross section at Raval disctrict,
Barcelona. It is also a multicultural district, and the fusion between tradition and the
avant-guard creates a flavor in sync with the Camper values.
I love to cook and collect recipes, but I never exactly follow the
steps. For me, cooking should be playful. Remember, always put
your imagination to someone’s recipe and bring it to your vision.
1/2 recipe rules are easy and healthy. Modern people are always
in a hurry, and I believe, with 1/2 effort, 1/2 steps, 1/2 fat, 1/2
time of cooking, will also bring you to a lovely cooking experience
and healthier dish. That’s why I called this chapter “1/2 Recipe”.
Cooking is art. Let’s play!

1/2 cabbage
2 carrots
2 onions
3 potatoes
6 tomatoes
1 can of whole tomato
2 beef shanks
what you need...
how you do...Cut beef shanks into chunk. Blanch meat for 1 minute.
Cut all vegetable into big chunk sizes because of long cooking time.
Add beef shanks, carrots, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, canned tomatoes into boiling water
Add cabbage and cook for another 40 minutes.
1.2.3.4.
Party at home should be playful, but less stress. I found Saturday
afternoon is the best party time. Most time I prepare lots of finger food,
dip sauce, snack and fruit, however, hot savory soup always popular
among guesses. In summer time, tomato is in season and the sour and
sweet flavor is suitable for cooking no matter in soup or dishes.
This recipe is inspired by Borscht. Lots of tomato and vegetable are
applied, but adjust some ingredients for the spirit of easy and healthy
of “1/2 recipe”. In addition, this soup is also a great idea for light meal.
Served with bread, noodle, or rice, that will be a satisfied option.
