The work of Erin Cone. Love her simple asymmetric compositions, framing, color, restraint. Subdued elegance.

Alexa Chung’s chatfest returns to MTV this afternoon (with new logo and futurist-like set) – but who would’ve thunk she had a career before arriving in the States? (I say with tongue-in-cheek merican tude, y’all)
Here’s some 2008 reports by Alexa on couture icons Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli (with his parrots!) and Jean Paul Gaultier – for UK-based Gok’s Fashion Fix.

Claudia Pungaru, one of my students, turned me on to the work of Dr. Hyunju Lee. Lee’s work is typographic and she uses the Korean script Hangul as a starting point for expressive interpretations – about Korean life and culture.
Ongoing right now is Typographic Exploration in Hangul: An Exhibition of work by Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo (work pictured above) at the UC Davis Design Museum. In the show, letters evoke emotions – all tied to the tradition and sounds of the Hangul writing system.
For more information about the show, go here. The Design Museum’s site is here.
The museum is open limited hours Monday thru Friday, and on Sunday afternoons. Show ends December 6, 2009.
