Read on!

These Missoni designs fairly scream summer to me. It’s a cross between Mociun prints, Little Edie scarves and classic resort wear. I’d wear it! [Via Dress of the Day]

Paula Hayes designs these contemporary terrariums (and aquariums). There’s something so spare and modern about the inclusion of plants, crystals and water. [Thanks to Weirdwolf for this one!]

I’m a huge fan of fashion from the late 1970s or early 1980s, so these photos of Soviet punk style totally took my breath away. [Via Viva Vena Cava]

Look closely at this rug. What is the material? Is it wood or textile? In fact, German design student Elisa Stroyzk created this sculptural piece from wood-veneer offcuts, which are laser-cut and bonded to a textile backing to create a three dimensional visual. [Via design*sponge]

These dramatic pieces were created by sculptural designer Zoe Bradley. Her work bridges the gap between fashion and three dimensional art forms. According to her website, “Bradley employs traditional tailoring techniques, but offers a twist of using the more conventional materials of fashion fabrics to her signature material luxury papers.” You won’t soon forget her work.  [Via What's Wrong With the Zoo]
