Popina is an award-winning artisan bakery based in London. Organic stone ground English flour, English free range and organic eggs, organic British butter and organic raw cane sugar are the basis of all Popina creations that includes hand made sweet and savoury tarts, biscuits, crackers and brownies. Unlike the traditional short crust, the Popina tart casing is made with organic flour, virgin olive oil and parsley so it’s much thinner and lighter and bursting with fillings. Yum!

Issey Miyake’s Pleats Please advertising campaign by Taku Satoh Designs recreated his famous pleats to look like sushi. An experiment in the 80’s resulted in a new technique called garment pleating in which the garments are cut and sewn first, then sandwiched between layers of paper and fed into a heat press, where they are pleated. The fabric’s ‘memory’ holds the pleats and when the garments are liberated from their paper cocoon, they are ready-to wear. What a creative way to revamp a 20 year-old line.

These great finds from Piers Atkinson made my day. His Autumn/Winter 09 Barbie-inpired Princess & The Frog collection is simply hilarious and very creative.

Introducing the Nike T-shirt gun from the Nike commercial. Sorry guys but this is not a real product. Nike even went as far as pretending it is sold out despite the steep $1500 price tag. It is a great viral marketing ploy and would be really cool to own one, don’t you think?
