Most amazing sculptures

Bruno Catalano was born in 1960 in southern France.  This current series is called “Les Voyageurs” and was displayed in Marseilles as the city was the European Capital of Culture in 2013. By creating sculptures with missing parts the spectator is momentarily puzzled but when she or he understands the whole concept relaxes and enjoys the scene. Remarkable and amazing sculptures. Enjoy the series.

Shoes and accesories made with food - Fulvio Bonavia

What will happen if you combine footwear or accessories with food? this amazing photoghrapher and award winner shows:  It will be not only stylish, but tasty collection. And if you can not imagine how it will look like, then you simply haven’t seen works of photographer Fulvio Bonavia. In 2008 Fulvio published his book "A Matter of Taste" with the conceptual photos on the theme "Food as Fashion". The most improbable that all the tasty accessories of Fulvio Bonavia – are real! Author by his own hands made models from food for each shot. Unfortunately, all his creations were too short-lived. But it was nice to know that the items captured in photos are the work of human hands, not of the ubiquitous Photoshop. The idea of the author is : “If you do not want to eat it – wear it!” Pictures excite taste buds and sense of style.

YOU may know cane toads as a poisonous ecological invader, but one fashion designer has turned them into a hot fashion accessory.

Polish designer Monika Jarosz's luxury Kobja brand inspired by the fairytale idea of the "toad that transforms itself into Prince Charming".
The high-end leather items, which come in an array of colours including vermilion red, emerald green, turquoise, fuchsia and black, are now sold in Asia, Europe and the US.
A purse can cost between between 220 and 250 euros ($300 and $360), depending on the country, while a large bag would be priced at around 1200 euros.
Now sold in luxury goods shops or concept stores in Tokyo, Beijing, New York, Paris and Berlin, Ms Jarosz's quirky products have developed an almost cult-like following among some customers.
Would you wear them? I know I would! they look aaa-maaa-ziiing

Disney villains perfume bottles

These unique containers are the work of a Japanese designer who goes by the name Ruby Spark (no relation to the 2012 romantic comedy of almost the same name). “There’s something special about each and every Disney villain,” she explains. “When I look at them, they have a sort of mysterious sexiness you’d never get from the princesses.”
Ruby goes on to say that she her inspiration for the set came from musing about the different kinds of perfume women have to choose from. “Perfumes aren’t always soft and floral. Some of them have a tempting character, something that feels almost a little dangerous, even. I thought it’d be wonderful to combine perfumes like that with the motif of Disney villains.”
Ruby has crafted perfume holders featuring villains from 19 Disney films spanning some 80 years. We’ll show each one below, with the identity of the character that inspired it underneath, so that Disney fans can quiz themselves.
Unfortunately, Ruby Spark doesn’t have an official license to produce Disney merchandise, so as of right now her creations aren’t available for purchase. Still, you never know how things might turn out, so don’t lose heart, villain lovers. In the meantime, there’s always the chance the Ruby will choose to expend the line, so fans of the 1985 box office disaster The Black Cauldron should keep their fingers crossed (all fourteen of you).
I'd definitely would love to have this collection and I believe that he should be paid to promote them by Disney, it would be an amazing marketing strategy.
