A beautiful and simple tea light holder by Norwegian designer Kristine Five Melvær. It is made from birch wood which holds a glass carafe and a brass socket for a candle. When the carafe is filled with liquid and the light is lit, the carafe works as a lens that amplifies a dreamy soft light.
So, usually, when we find out that designers reference too closely to other great designers, ( namely, Helmut Lang, Geoffrey Beene and Ter et Bantine and a hint of Altuzarra ), we would be so upset, however, Ms Philo, created a collection so exciting that she’s forgiven…

Another season another adventure! This time, Kim Jones brought us on an expedition up treacherous snowcapped mountains in search of shangri-la perhaps. For most of the collection, expect to see great coats, jackets and ubercool styling, all of which Kim has known to deliver. However, the last few looks really stole the show. In line with the LV spirit of collaborating with Art world’s super-stars, Kim has called on the Chapman brothers. Dark and twisted might be the contents of the art, but from a distance, they look like exotic oriental silk brocade with intricate and colourful embroideries.… made into slick dinner jackets and lux lounge robes. If this is Kim Jones idea of the shangri-la, I want in!
