“Young Artists Portraits at the Turn of the Millennium” is a very cool exhibition on show at Galleria Sozzani - 10 Corso Como area - till October the 19th.
It shows a bunch of portraits of young guys set in the photographic studio, with the use of finely drawn backdrops and with the subjects playing the part of themselves, in all their natural, yet stylish expressions.

The kids on the pictures “frequent the house of Molteni & Motta, which is not -despite of its name- a company, but a happy “cartel” of a couple of two professional photographers.
So it was born, spontaneously, the idea of catching the memory of a microcosm of youth -full of dreams like many others- that made an idealist and hard choice: art, in every possible form. These kids will be the next protagonists of theatre, visual arts, music, performance and cosplay, a mysterious and innovative form of acting.”

Must have of the upcoming season, OGO Water delivers into our body a dose of extra Oxygen, about 35 times more than some regular water, and it is perfect to keep us more beautiful and full of energies than ever. Plus, the stylish bottle makes this oxygenated water trendsetting, in fact OGO has appeared in London Fashion Week shows by fashion designer Julien Macdonald and Michiko Koshino. I love the packaging design and the concept behind this water, but I’m afraid it will be quite a luxury product not for everybody as is not found easily in the shops and is frequently linked by the press with top celebrities.

I love the way freelance illustrator Gene Ho has customized this plastic raincoat, turning a rain classic into a fairy-tale item.

Vivienne Tam teamed up with Hp to create a mini laptop that you will definitely want to show off. Designed to be the ultimate tech accessory for fashionistas, the HP Vivienne Tam Special Edition notebook features an elegant Chinese-inspired exterior and is adorned inside with Chinese symbol four double happiness. I think that giving the old boring laptop a new life turning it into a “digital pochette” is a brilliant idea, and I am expecting to see more and more of them in the future.
It was revealed during New York’s Fashion Week and will hit stores in early 2009.
