Meet Anubha and Emi, winners of the sustainability and sports & denim categories in the first ever online global design graduate show

In 2020, sustainability and ethical, considered production within the fashion industry, has become more important than ever. With the judges having made their decisions for the winners of the fashion categories — supported by Gucci — of the i-D x ARTSTHREAD Global Design Graduate Show, both the chosen projects in the sustainability and the sports & denim categories are by designers who are working to make the industry better for the future.

Winning the sustainability award is Anubha Sood, a 28 year old MFA graduate in Textiles from Parsons, New School of Design in New York. For her project, ‘Between Salt & Water’, she collected seagrass from the Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans — foraged from Coney Island, New York; Galway in Ireland and Koh Tao in Thailand — and dyed, softened and wove them into her own fabrics.

Anubha tested various methods of textile creation with the collected seaweed.

Accessible Custom Furniture And Decor Is The Next Big Interior Design Trend

A living room with custom furniture — Custom made to order furniture is more accessible than ever.

Emery Bastable/Society Social

2020 has been a year of collective realization about the importance of our living spaces and interior design. Not only are we all spending more time at home, but most of us are renovating, redesigning, and refreshing our spaces to fit the new normal. Because the pandemic has limited our choices in many ways, the appeal of custom, made-to-order furniture and decor has increased significantly.

While major players like Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Restoration Hardware have offered made to order furniture for years, buying truly customized and bespoke pieces used to require using an interior designer or knowing the right place to have something commissioned. This also meant visiting a brick and mortar location.

But now, smaller, direct to consumer and online-only retailers are leading the way in this category for both industry and regular consumers

How did you get into your creative field – tell us about your background
My name is Ariadna Sala and I live in El Poble Sec, Barcelona. Since my childhood, expressing my feelings and emotions through photography, drawing and writing has been very important.

The Designers Group CEO on how COVID-19 has changed interior design

Emilee Geist 3 days ago

Blima Ehrentreu is the founder and CEO of The Designers Group, an interior design firm with offices in Toronto, New York, and Miami. She spoke to Doreen Lorenzo for Designing Women, a series of interviews with brilliant women in the design industry.

Doreen Lorenzo: Have you always been interested in design? What led you down this path?

Blima Ehrentreu: I always had a passion to create, improve, and perfect. As a kid, I wanted to be involved in anything visual. After graduating with a master’s degree in interior architecture and design, I started working at an architectural firm. That’s where I learned how to work with drawings and plans, and the technical side of design. In 2009, I founded The Designers Group with another designer—and what started as a two-woman firm in Toronto has since blossomed into an international firm with locations in Toronto, New York, and Miami. At TDG,

suffered a computer network and system outage the next day which left customers unable to connect to cars, sales orders to not be placed, and perhaps most disturbing, according to one customer report, drivers unable to charge at superchargers. A driver in an online forum reported: “I got a pop up on my screen saying my supercharging accessibility has been stopped due to suddenly having no payment method. I’ve been trying to add my credit card back onto my account but it’s not working.” The driver’s account was fine and had charged earlier in the day, but he could not re-add a card and was unable to charge.

Samsung Galaxy S30 complete design leaked, tipped for January 2021 launch

Emilee Geist 6 days ago

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 earlier in the year, and now we already have information coming in about its successor, the Galaxy S30. After leaks emerged last week of the phone entering mass-production, a new report has emerged which claims to reveal in full the upcoming device.

The leak comes courtesy of tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) who has revealed the design of the Galaxy S30 on his Voice page. Hemmerstoffer published CAD renders of the S30 with a 6.2-inch display, hole-punch selfie camera and slimmer bezels than what we had seen on the Galaxy S20.

At the back of the Galaxy S30, there appears to be a new camera module that extends from the phone’s outer frame. OnLeaks claims the phone’s dimensions are 151.7 x 71.2 x 7.9m. If this is indeed true, it would mean the S30 will be slightly wider than the S20. The report also claims the

Want a Watch That’s Just Right? Design Your Own

Emilee Geist 6 days ago

Although the market offers thousands of watches, if none of them look quite right, you can design your own.

There are different ways to go about it: You can design a watch based entirely on your vision and imagination, or tweak a version of an existing watch. The process can take hours or years. It can cost from the low four figures to a sum with almost too many zeros to count.

The desired design can be turned into a timepiece by an independent watchmaker, or by a watch house, or by you. Almost anything is possible.

Ahmed Rahman, a London businessman, followed one popular route, using a watch created by an independent brand as the starting point for his own ideas.

While Mr. Rahman was attending the 2018 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie fair (now called Watches and Wonders) in Geneva, “I saw De Bethune’s DB25 Moon Phase

How to make your own silkscreen design for Halloween

Emilee Geist 1 week ago

This year has been scary enough on its own, but now people are gearing up for the year’s spookiest season.

Roam through many Tampa Bay neighborhoods and see how many folks have creatively decorated their homes for Halloween with skeletons, giant spiders and cackling animatronic ghouls. People are already wearing festive clothes, too.

But the pandemic has many people too spooked to decorate outside for fear of inviting trick-or-treaters to the door. Others don’t want to chance shopping at the big box stores for decorations or novelty clothing. So we asked local artist Demeree Barth to show us a simple Halloween-themed project that people can make at home.

Barth teaches art at Seminole Elementary and, as an artist, makes wearable art, elaborate headdresses and printmaking pieces under the moniker Demi God Studio.

Barth came up with an easy silkscreen project using the popular sugar skull motif associated with Dia de

When it comes to artwork and mirrors, what are some of the best and more impactful ways in which to showcase? Whether you have a long wall you wish to highlight, a ceiling you want to elevate or bold design statement you’d like to make, placing artwork or mirrors in a series or with the use of symmetry may do the trick.

Here are a list of do’s and don’ts.

Do:

1. Use identical pieces of art to create a diptych (two pieces of art in a series) or a triptych (three pieces of art in a series).

2. Use mirrors in a series or grid in spaces that may not have a

H&M And The Ellen Macarthur Foundation Rethink Denim Design And Production In A Move Towards Circularity | State

Emilee Geist 1 week ago

NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A pair of jeans is likely the most common garment that we can find in any wardrobe around the world. In order to transform the way jeans are made today, last year the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular initiative defined how denim design and production could fit into circular economy principles, through durability, recyclability and responsible use of resources. As a result of the participation in this visionary project, H&M will launch a remarkable men’s denim collection inspired by natural simplicity. H&M Jeans Redesign launches October 15th and will be available in select stores worldwide and online at hm.com.

There are three jean styles, two jackets, an overshirt, tote bag and a bucket hat – all made from denim with a modern workwear vibe – in a color palette of light grey, washed black, mid-blues and deep indigo. The collection
