From the recent Paris Fashion Week, which showcased RTW fashions for spring 2010 comes a perfect example of the importance of angle.  Viktor and Rolf exhibited a collection including heavily chopped tulle.  The first 2 pieces are amusing, but unremarkable



The third, however, at the right angle achieves what must have been its intent

A more direct view of it makes it far less interesting

• Somewhat dull reporting and images from London's recent Jewelry Week
• Much more exciting, finally a name to go with some pictures of uncut diamond jewelry I photographed in Paris, it is the work of Patrice Fabre. 
  

• A fantastic watch blog, entirely in Hungarian.  Even not able to read a single word, the movement section provided a fantastic collection of photos.
• From the New York Times, a review of a contemporary furniture exhibit at the V&A, including the fantastic "Robber Baron" wardrobe. More information and some close-up shots of the detailed, if a bit disturbed, bronze castings available from Moss (below, closed from Moss, open from the V&A website)
