COLETTE / TIMBERLAND

Colette has teamed up with Timberland to bring back a classic piece. Expect to see Timberland's making a comeback this season not just for their rugged yet simple appeal but because they actually WORK as winter boots. More here. Image courtesy of Colette.

Blueprint III Cover

Always nice to see the amount of work that goes into a shoot. Surprisingly the Blueprint III cover wasn't a complete photoshop job.

Photographer / Thom Kerr

Thom Kerr has taken the southern hemisphere by storm. Check out more of his work here.

LEATHER JACKET / UNDERCOVER 09

Undercover has just released a leather jacket for the 2009 fall/winter season. The colorful material at the shoulders and the very subtle tonal design on the arms give it a very unique look that caught out our attention immediately. Although the price is not available , the jacket is available on Note.

NOIR BASIC SPRING/SUMMER 2010

The France brand Noir Basic is previewing some of their 2010 spring/summer collection through their look-book. What we love so much is the casualness combined with great looking high quality products, something that can be worn everyday. To view more pics, visit Hypebeast. More on the selection and the actual lookbook will be available on the Noir Basic website soon.

TIMETABLE / W+K LONDON

Wieden+Kennedy needed a way to increase the efficiency of their meetings. Ico Design and Sidekick Studios came up with the Timetable, an innovative table that visually controls the length of the meetings using 10 RGB LED panels beneath the surface, each representing 1/10 of the meeting time. As the panels switch off with a non disruptive sound effect , time is counted down to when the meeting will be over and when all the panels are off, a vocal message is played signaling that the meeting is over.

AVATAR / JAMES CAMERON

After being away for almost a decade , James Cameron has finally given us a small trailer of his highly anticipated upcoming movie, Avatar.

Spaghetti Bench / Pablo Reinoso

Designed by Pablo Reinoso. The fluidity and anthropomorphic nature of this piece makes it stand out instantly.

Alice In Wonderland / Tim Burton

IDEA 2009 WINNERS / BEST DESIGNS OF 2009

The International Design Excellence Awards 2009 , IDEA, are presented to the most innovative and user friendly innovations of the year. Ranging from medical systems to everyday items, these winners were selected on the basis of user friendliness whether the user is a runner, an environmentalist, a warehouse worker, a surgeon, an everyday civilian. Over 30 items were given the Gold medal, and just to show the innovation of these items , the Best in show award went to garbage (literally). To view all the finalist , visit here and silver medalists can be seen here. We highly recommend our viewers to gloss over some of the gold and silver medalists, maybe one of you will be motivated and become a part of IDEA in the future years.

JACK BEATS / TORONTO

Jack Beats will be tearing up The Social in Toronto on August 6th.

PEEPSHOW / WRESTLING SHOES

I have the sneaking suspicion that we are going to be seeing a lot of this in the following year. Wrestling shoes are super comfortable and have the high top appeal that many sneakerheads desire. We already saw Dior and Jil Sander branching into something similar last season but expect SS10 to be the defining year for stripping the bulk off traditional high tops. Racing shoes would also work.

PHOTOGRAPHIC DICTIONARY

The Photographic Dictionary defines words using imagery.

FOCUS ON / MLADEN PENEV

Known for his phenomenal photography and out of this world retouching Mladen Penev, born in Bulgaria and currently working out of Vienna, is gaining a reputation as a world class artist. More here.

31 BLAIR ROAD RESIDENCE / SINGAPORE

ONG & ONG put together this beautiful concept. The 31 Blair Road Residence brings together unprocessed materials, natural light, a sleek fluidity, and clean yet bold lines. Considering that this all had to be done under a conservation project from the original home what they accomplished is truly impeccable. More about the home here.

KID CUDI / MAKE HER SAY MUSIC VIDEO

What you've all been waiting for.

GHOST TOWN / SHINY TOY GUNS

H&M FALL 2009 / AD CAMPAIGN

Here's a sneak peak of Sasha Pivovarova in the Fall H&M ad campaign. The Alice in Wonderland feel is really what makes this shot work.

DAVID GUETTA + AKON

Hit after hit after hit - David Guetta is on fire. He didn't waste any time after producing the BEP "I gotta feeling" and jumped on with Akon. Above is a snippet of the track and below we have the full record (although the quality isn't the greatest). Some might scoff him for his hair modeling days, but at rLie Guetta has always been a favourite of ours.

A TRAK + ARMAND VAN HELDEN / DUCK SAUCE

Armand Van Helden and A Trak talk about Duck Sauce - their 4 track EP to be released in September. The tracks we've heard in clubs so far, aNYway and You're Nasty have a great 70's come house come hip-hop feel. Can't wait to hear the finished product. This collaboration was a long time comming.

MELBOURNE RECITAL CENTRE / ARM ARCHITECTS

ARM Architects completed the Melbourne Recital Centre and Melbourne Theatre Company. The project - apart from being absolutely mezmerizing - also served to revive the Southbank area which was known to be notoriously desolate. More here.

LACOSTE IBIZA / GRAPHIC PRINT

The graphic print edition of the classic Ibiza sneaker brings Lacoste back into the 80's flashback fashion wave. Still awaiting the finalized fashion pallet but we like what we see so far. More at Lacoste.

EVIAN ROLLER BABIES

AUDI / SCULPTURE

NOT RTW / AVANT-GARDE

Speaks for itself. Piece courtesy of men.style.com

LOFTCUBE / NOMADIC LIVING

Self described by the designers as "mobile living units, which can be placed on flat roofs by helicopters or cranes" the Loftcube is truly unique in both conception and design. Priced in the low $100,000's it makes for an absolutely stunning living or work space. The idea behind mobile living units such as the LoftCube is to make use of available roof space in today's mega cities. More importantly it is part of a wave of modern nomadic living spaces geared towards today's itinerant workforce. Designed by Werner Aisslinger.

MUSIC MUST

Once in a while we hear a song that we cannot help but sing to all night long. We absolutely love these songs, and we hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we do.

If you find a link to the official video to any of the songs (or even any cool songs that you've heard that you love), dont be afraid to share with us, post a link in the comments.

GUCCI MENS RTW / SS '10

The Gucci Mens RTW spring/summer 2010 collection still carries the Native American vibe that featured on their high top sneakers earlier this year - as can be seen from the above sweater. View the rest of the collection here, take special note of the jackets - simply amazing. Images courtesy of Fashionising.

RANDOM LAMP / UNKNOWN CAFE

An r-Lie staff writer saw this lighting fixture hanging in a cafe in Cambridge, UK. The designer is unknown and the location ambiguous - but this piece simply blew us away.

Dee and Ricky are the designer duo responsible for the wave of lego inspired accessories that took the world by storm early 2009. The twins also make up 2/3 of the musical group Jackson Swinton.

HOTEL FOUQUET BARRIER / PARIS

Architect Edouard Francois was in charge of remodeling the Hotel Fouquet, which is located in the heart of Paris. The project completed in 2006 - although some work is still being done. The successful fusion of old world architecture with modern design is probably one of the greatest challenges any resortation faces - Mr. Fanchanc however has proven once again that he is worthy of his reputation. Image courtesy of ArchDaily. More here.

BURBERRY FW 09 / 10

While much of the hype surrounding Burberry's FW 09/10 campaign has revolved around Emma Watson - the collection itself looks promising. See more of it here. Keep an eye out for a video of the show soon.

FAST COMPANY / 100 MOST CREATIVE

Jonathan Ive tops the list this year - which is not surprising taking into account the iPhone/iPod touch/ and unibody macbook that he brought around in 2009. Find the list here. Images and list courtesy of Fast Company.

CHRIS CRAYMER / TRUE ROMANCE

"Mulberry have sponsored photographer Chris Craymer's first book - the images of which will be exhibited in the windows of Mulberry stores all over the world." - Dazed Digital

Chris Craymer's work has a certain edginess to it - somewhat reminiscent of Terry Richards portraits but without quite the same extraction of the subjects personality. This makes for a more marketable yet still raw image.

BLOOM / Jeff Miller

The flexibility of the wood makes this coat rack perfect for everyday hassle free use. The eight arms bend down like tree branches whenever a coat is hung on them, this way other coats hanging will not be disturbed and you can take your coat off the rack without making a mess. The arms work independently and the whole rack rotates for convenient use. More can be found at Cerruti Baleri , who Miller designed the coat rack for.

DZ9044 / DIESEL

This faceless wrist strap designed by Diesel is obviously created for the traveling man,or someone who is asked about Greenwich time occasionally. With 2 side movements on each side,this watch allows the wearer to see times in up to 4 different time zones. So whether you are a frequent traveler,or just curious to know what the time is in Iceland,you will have to dish out about $365.

THE HOUSE BEHIND THE WALL / SLOVENIA

Normally modern villas with great views are located on a hillside, but this wall-like house not only opens up to a great view, but also blends the living space with nature. The structure of the house restricts the view such that the boundaries keeps out the sight of the surrounding messy structures.
