ICFF Preview: Didi Dunphy's Embroidered Long Board
by Josh Rubin
Under the label Modern Convenience, Didi Dunphy aims to "bring the 'free time' of recess indoors and reintroducing play through sculptural elements." Last year at ICFF she did just that with the Indie Skate upholstered skateboard (left). This year she has evolved the deck to include an embroidered pattern (right) further exploring the potential in details when converting a toy to a piece of furniture.
MomiMomi
by Josh Rubin
Born in New York in 2001 and now based in LA, MomiMomi makes t-shirts that are buttery soft, perfectly fitting and phenomenally styled. In their own words:
MomiMomi (moe-me, moe-me) is a t-shirt lab concentrating on designs of simplicity and comfort, the aim of our work is to conflate graphics and wear-ablity. That is, we seek to treat the t-shirt as a billboard for the body, developing imagery that both acknowledges and highlights the human form, and subverts conventional perceptions of it.
And what does MomiMomi mean? It's Japanese and means 'anything you can do with two hands.' It has both innocent and dirty inferences, but is generally used when describing a massaging feeling. I think it describes how I felt when I put one on yesterday-- mm, mm good.
War of Monsters
by Carol T Chung
The War Of Monsters is where Koadzn duke it out with 80 illustrators and graphic designers from all over the world in the theme of kaiju (big monster films). Koadzn sets the stage by creating an illustration and then the battle begins. The opponent responds in a graphic battle for domination. The work will be available as a book in postcard format. The battle above features Koadzn versus Ogi.
Update:There's a War of Monsters exhibit at The Lazy Dog in Paris.
