Wired NEXTFEST
by m ss ng p eces
New York recently played host to Wired Magazine's third annual NEXTFEST. The celebration of innovation is a World's Fair of sorts and brings together artists and inventors from around the world to display and discuss their work. For our latest CH Video episode we had a chance to tour NEXTFEST with Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine, and learn about robots, immersive games and space travel.

The Reindeer
by SummerSeventySix
It's probably a bit too soon to be looking forward to Christmas, but it has been just too long since I got excited about going to Santa's grotto. That's effectively what The Reindeer is - a kind of grotto for grown-ups from the people behind East London's Bistrotheque. From the start of December until the day before Christmas Eve, the pop-up restaurant and theatre will take over a massive space at the Old Truman Brewery. Amongst pine trees and fake snow, diners can enjoy camp and kitsch cabaret from the likes of Pam Ann and Kiki & Herb or book one of two log cabins for their own Alpine private party. Thankfully, you won't have to sit on the knee of an old man in a red and white outfit.
Refinery29: MiharaYasuhiro Sneakers
by Josh Rubin
Since 1994, when designer Yasuhiro Mihara began inventing new sneaker designs as a student at Tama Art University, the industry has continued to push the envelope where trainer innovation is concerned. Even after opening his store, Suso, filled with his own futuristic clothing, the mission of progressive footwear remains Mihara's passion. After a successful partnership with Puma, Mihara has dissected the classic Converse All-Star—literally. This uncommon new trainer is composed of half-black Converse All-Star and half-silver shoe of Mihara's own design, both fused with a continuous sole. From the front, the shoe resembles the billions of other Chucks you've seen. But from the rear, it transforms into a space-age bowling-style shoe—perhaps conceived for a sport that hasn't yet even been dreamed of. MiharaYasuhiro "Split" trainer is available at Atelier New York.
