Sidewalk Catwalk & Material ConneXion(s)

Thirty mannequins creatively styled by America's top designers and decked out in materials sourced from Material ConneXion will line the plazas of Broadway in NYC this summer as part of a public art installation organized by The Fashion Center. While you will have to wait until June to see outfits by the likes of Hilfiger, Mizrahi, and von Furstenburg, you can preview the high-strength textiles that Material ConneXion has selected for this project in an exhibition on view in their showroom from March 31 to April 30, 2010.

Debug: Insect Generated Patterns & Fonts

Insect-generated lace typography may simply be buzz for the designer set, but
Eindhoven Edhv has created a captivating showcase for such a marvel. The 'Debug' poster project consists of a series of graphics created by tracking the movements of insects, specifically woodlice and crickets.

The project is on view in Hasselt, Belgium as part of an exhibition entitled, Design by Performance at the Z33 Centre for Contemporary Art and Design. It was previously on view as part of Bits 'n Pieces at Material ConneXion in NYC.
