Among others, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin and Vivienne Westwood designed a Tarot card.

The ancient Tarot card game, which originated in the fifteenth century, is revived. In New York there is currently an exhibition on this card game. 78 artists have participated in this exhibition. Among the artists are fashion designers including Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Louboutin and Vivienne Westwood, but also a photographer Terry Richardson. Each artist designed his own Tarot card. This resulted in a collection of original maps.

For example to take Christian Louboutin. He designed a Nine of Cups-card, which stands for self-indulgence and power. Those themes, he expressed to image a naked woman smoking and drinking and playing with her high heels.

Christopher Strong is one of my favourite design duos which consists of Olive and Michael.
There is nothing I don’t like about this collection, they are always on trend yet unique, simple yet chic and this collection shows all that and more…. Read More

And Beyond impressed a lot of people and visitors last friday during their “Smoke” presentation at the AIFW. In the machine building the duo presented their collection in a dark place with literally a lot of smoke. The spotlights were directed on the glass cabinets where you could see the collection. Everybody was fascinated and walked a few times in a round to see all designs.

The very nice duo, Jolanda van den Broek and Brigitte Hendrix, presented their wearable designs in a very magical way. The collection features dark colors like black and grey with a lot of prints. Literally everything went up in smoke.

A very original idea to distinguish theirselves from all participating designers of AIFW 2010. It wasn’t a traditional catwalkshow including models. Curious? Soon you can see the interview Fesjon had with the designersduo.

Talk about a dream come true! To celebrate its recent millionth customer order, high-end online retailer Net-A-Porter is thanking site visitors by giving away a $40,000 shopping spree.

Yep, you read it right: $40,000!!!

The best part is you don’t even have to buy anything to enter the contest, it’s open to all.

Starting later today, when the competition goes live, you can register, one time only at Net-A-Porter/celebration. The contest will run for three weeks (until Feb. 11) at which point a random winner will be chosen.

We could seriously dream about this all day, but we should probably wait until later today when we can register ourselfs.

What would you buy with $40,000 at Net-A-Porter? Tell us in a comment!
