Advertisement--Burrbery (My favorite brand)

Advertisement--Burrbery

Full Show - Burberry Celebrates London in Shanghai.(Watch the full show and follow the journey from the streets of London to the A/W14 runway, amidst a dreamlike storm of beauty, design and colour as Burberry brought the spirit of London to Shanghai with a night of live performance, music and fashion on 24 April 2014.)(Researce from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgUcmk68iRcv)


This was simply incredible and brings a feel good, nice meeting tradition culture,it was all classics show in CHINA, use traditional UK elements and colors. Not only it is a symbolize in ENGLAND, but also it is a good chance to express British tradition culture. George Ezra knocks this most amazing show into shape, the rest completes it magnificently. This is why I love Burberry.


Burberry needs to celebrate in London,so the below is 

other advertisements I enjoy.





The music, dance, scene and models are amazing. Christopher Bailey, Burberry CEO and chief creative officer explained how the short film acts as "a celebration of everything we love at Burberry; the trench coat, the cashmere scarf, incredible music, our British weather, and working with great and talented people."(Resource from: http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/videos/TMG11206777/Watch-A-dancing-Romeo-Beckham-plays-cupid-in-festive-Burberry-advert.html)


I wanted to share with you Burberry's Christmas promo, where the iconic trench coat is the protagonist in a London background (British heritage). A nice dream associated with the brand they are transmitting here.It was incredible! And I watched it over and over. well done Burberry on a dreamy Christmas advertisment.

I believe that being beautiful is not something that people can buy. Therefore, no one can ever "afford" to be beautiful. But for those of us who are, being beautiful is its own kind of magic that is infused into very day life and lights up the world. To me, being beautiful is being wealthy because you have been given that rare gift.

Fun Concrete

    Button tiles by codolagni design studio for kaza







                                                         Size:  20 x 30 cm
                                                         Colours:    more
                                                         Designer: codolagni design studio



Use for interior or exterior decorate. KAZA concrete website writer claimed that " It examined the development of a formation system  created by objects pressed into a rubber sheet. The rubber sheet’s own physical characteristics mould firm forms and fine arcs impossible to reproduce  by any other method. " I believe that this tiles that dimension is added to the tile by a visually confusing characteristicButton in the modelling of the concrete, the modelling of skin similar button, the author one   convex or concave down button arbitrary combination, make whole space appears different. The author makes design return to material itself.



The below pictures are other series of concrete I enjoy.











It was so cool, I would like this concrete decorate my house, if possible.
                              If you are interest about this different shape of concrete, this is a good website http://www.kazaconcrete.com/.

Tomohiro Inaba

I will introduce a artist and his works. Tomohiro Inaba is a young artist with  extraordinary beauty and unique creativity who finished his graduate studies in 2010.He took advantage of the wire and some plastic material mix build, with the shape of animals expressed in different ways.



                            
                                                                 Abstract the sheep: the transparent material look like wool





        The artist takes advantage of the density of material in order to achieve different effects of his works




Run: the two above of pictures give people a feeling of animals disappear in running





The disappearance of human skull


I have seen Tomohiro Inaba art on other social webside and think they are amazing. I love the fact that you show that nothing is something and space can say more than solid material.

  • He is not only a famous interior designer but also an architect. He won a Andrew Martin International award and he was the one of the global 31 famous interior designer.(Other awards like Gold Key Awards、 Hospitality Design Awards) He would like combine the Chinese traditional culture and modern theory applied to various kinds of interior space, such as hotels, private clubs, villas and so on.

  • Personally, I quite like he's simple interior design style, if you say simple but not simple, he contracted more fashionable beautyin contrast with the increasingly complex society, but also lets the home become a pure and comfortable spiritual place.
   Work (Two pictures-interior-home)

  • From the point of view of color, the arrangement of the living room, mostly use warm colors, like yellow and orange,under the irradiation of light, the living room is give people a sense of happiness, which is the feeling of home, it also makes guests quickly into the atmosphere in the past, will not feel unfamiliar.
  • From the material, most of the furniture is wood,  wood taken from nature, he did not stone as serious,  it gives a warm feeling stable,  which is consistent with the ancients thought of harmony,  sofa pillow with carpet of cloth pad, make people more comfortable.
  • From the point of light and shadow, all of the light is warm light,  not too much decoration ceiling,  sides and in the middle of the lighting arrangement and TV backdrop lights make the room brighter.



  • Spiral staircase you will not make people feel strange, beautiful styling adds beauty, make the stairs more gentle slope, that is practical and beautiful. Pool delightful people under the stairs, there are good symbolism, water constantly flows into the stone bowl, a symbol of treasures will be plentiful.
