Chris Cowan Sanluis, fashion designer to the stars, has teamed up with the tech brand Acer to make us all a shiny reminder that the world has completely gone to shit — in a fun, earthbound-Barbarella sort of way. What you have here is more than a sparkly pink sequined sombrero. Because this is actually a […]


This, truly, is one of the coolest concepts we’ve seen in the art world in a long minute. Olloclip, creators of mobile-photography technology, are putting on an art show in Orange County that is worth looking into  — perhaps with a magnifying glass. The show’s theme is nothing big, literally, baring the bold but teensy title […]
