Half Graffiti Hotel Room

Graffiti artist, Tilt, has recently created a masterpiece out of a French hotel room. One half of the room is completely done in graffiti and it looks AMAZING. I can’t even begin to imagine the patience and time it took to get this right. This piece of interior design along with five other pieces can be found at the Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France.

The Battle For Fashion Week

[Source-Getty Images]

Fashion Week (or as like to call it – Fashion Month) is about to become much more pretentious than ever before. Fashion Month works because none of them overlap. First comes New York, then comes London. After that, we have Milan and Paris is last. Turns out, Milan is not happy with that arrangement.

Milan has reportedly decided to place their Fashion Week in dates that would conflict with both New York and London’s fashion weeks, which is going to send every fashion magazine into a frenzy. Milan is essentially giving them an ultimatum and trying to prove who is most powerful out of the fashion capitals.

Who will rise to the top? Only time will tell.

Live the Language

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t know someone in college that wasn’t studying abroad. People choose where they go to college for a number of reasons and though it wasn’t mine, a huge deciding factor is study abroad opportunities. I never studied abroad while in college and sometimes I kind of wish I had. Traveling, new experiences, meeting new people aren’t exactly things that scare me, but it wasn’t meant to be for me to go abroad while in school so I’m going to save some time for it when I finish…going abroad that is sans the studying.

This week, I came across a program called Education First. The program has been promoting themselves with a series of “Live the Language” short films that follow study abroad students as they embark on their travels in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Paris and a few other cities. The videos highlight some of the things a study abroad student might go through such as having a class, trying new food and experiencing the culture of the city.

My favorite below is Los Angeles.

Check out more videos and learn more about the program here.

John Galliano is Guilty

Looks like we won’t be seeing John Galliano around for awhile! The former designer behind Dior has been found guilty of making anti-Semitic and racist comments in Paris on not one – but two occasions. Galliano will be fined 6,000 Euros and will be on probation for the next five years under French terms.

After the hearing Galliano’s lawyer called the ruling a “wise decision” and said Galliano is now “very relieved.”

“Wastelandscape”

In a world where CDs are no longer as useful as they once were, artist Elise Morin and architect Clémence Eliard were able to turn something so outdated into a beautiful piece at the Centquatre Museum in Paris. 65,000 CDs were used to create this work of art covering 500-square-meters as a part of the “Wastelandscape” installation.

Male Models Got Moves

I’ve always been curious about what it would be like to date someone who was a male model. Other than their initial good looks, the first time you lay eyes on them may be when they have their stone cold faces up on the runway or in the magazines. Rarely, do we ever get to see the true personality of a model…that is until now. During Spring 2012 Fashion Week, Justin Wu filmed all of these beautiful modeling men dancing around to “A Little Less Conversation” in Paris and Milan.

How cute – wish I could join?
