#Repost @orbmagazineofficial with @get_repost ・・・ "Factory Fan Bass" by @openreelensemble works by attaching a disk with holes to the fan, which converts blinks of lights to electric signals and generates sound from a bass amplifier. Different numbers of holes can generate a musical scale, and turning on/off of the power makes it roar. 💥🎶 #orbinstajamming (at Bangkok, Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvAr2JghK4X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bb09xuuiy5ri

PFW: #IsseyMiyake SS16 is a whirlwind of 'botanical delights'. Natural materials have been combined with their tech focus to create a new fabric called 3D Steam Stretch (steam heats the fabric which continue to shrink the threads to create constant evolution). A live drum performance by #EiWada of #OpenReelEnsemble provides the atmosphere with synthesisers and an open reel deck, and #MasatsugaHattori presents his live drum performance to accompany. The 'Botanical Delights' theme was more than evident with models and garments becoming Birds of Paradise striding down the heavily-produced runway. All nationalities in ever-confident strides glided past in a bombardment of colour. Hair was pinned and fluffed out to create a notion of an exotic birds appearance, working with garments perfectly. Splashes of vibrant eye makeup in the side corners of the models' eyes worked alongside a few tasselled earrings also. Large flat woven handbags (some fabulously loosely tasselled) were in the same style as hats. The handful of hats all had strong silhouettes and seemed to take inspiration from safari-style pieces. One seemed to be attached and displayed on the back side of the model, also a possible new handbag of sorts. Tasseled footwear came in the form of flats and fabulous platformed sandals: some monotone but printed, and some wonderfully colourful. #Miyaki's classic identity continues to be renewed with originality through the vision of designer #YoshiyukiMiyamar. Miyaki's continued popular success can be seen in the Birds of Paradise (or peacocks as I like to call them) attending the overcrowded yet extremely atmospheric and enjoyable show. 🌿🌺🌷🌾🌿🌺🌷 @isseymiyake #IsseyMiyakeUK (at Espace Ephémère Des Tuileries)
