YOGA + ERGONOMICS for your HOME and HEALTH
MAYA YOGA in huelo, maui.
Finished a six day yoga intensive with Nicki Doane & Eddie Modestini, founders of Maya Yoga, last Friday.
My intentions were abundant....and by doing this asana intensive i really dove into the necessary areas to truly understand just how important an ergonomicaly designed home is for your overall health.
AYURVEDA and ASHTANGA YOGA are the most basic roots for a WHOLE life.
Custom Furniture & Homes designed specifically to your body type builds upon the foundation you create within yourself...
Most people live their lives slumped over in desk chairs, lounging on furniture that distorts their spines, driving in cars with your knees above your pelvic bones....and not to mention, sleeping(which is almost 1/2 your life) on mattresses that totally tweek your WHOLE being!!
ERGONOMIC DESIGN IS A MUST!!!

AKIO NUKAGA (here in LA)
today i went to the HEATH studio to watch AKIO throw pots for a couple hours.....it was really fantastic...so humble. there was a translator on hand allowing us, non-japanese speaking friends, to keep up with the dialogue. his technique is very organic and his pieces are lovely everyday table ware with a slightly modern edge. the infamous potter, Akio, making his first US appearance in a solo show....right here in LA. it will be on display....until the pieces are sold, which are already going FAAAAST....visit HEATH CERAMICS, LA SHOWROOM
here are a couple pics....he was moving the whole time and unfortunately i couldn't get a great shot.
thanks to Adam Silverman at Heath LA for bringing Akio to us.

inspiration through fashion
having worked in and been around the fashion industry for most of my young career life, i suppose i will always be seeking inspiration from this way of art....fashion brought to us from designers and captured through a lens.
comme des garcons.
rei kawakubo
(1942- )
the designer behind the 'comme des garcons' label,
kawakubo, studied philosophy at keio university in her
native tokyo.
untrained as a fashion designer, but having studied
fine arts and literature, she conveys her ideas verbally to
her patternmakers.
after graduation kawakubo worked in a textile company
and began working as a freelance stylist in 1967.
she started this japanese label in 1969 and founded the
comme des garcons company in 1973.
starting out with women's clothes, kawakubo added a men's
line in 1978.
for many, kawakubo's arrival in the west, with the first paris
presentation of her collection in 1981, was something of a shock.
she presented clothes the challenged accepted conventions.
the collection was dubbed 'hiroshima chic' for its use of dark
colors, in particular black, which was not popular at the time.
kawakubo's clothes are architectonic or sculptural,
concentrating on structure rather than surface.
this style refused to obey accepted notions of silhouette
and bodyline to create dramatic and innovative designs :
upside-down pockets, de-emphasized shoulders
and extra-long sleeves...
holes in sweaters become gashes in the bodices of
evening dresses. jackets are dismantled and turned
inside-out or put together in new ways.
the inside of a cardigan becomes the outside with the
bumpy texture of knitted roses close to the body.
kawakubo won the mainichi fashion grand prize in 1983
and was honored by the fashion institute of technology
in 1987 as one of the leading women in 20th-century design.
while kawakubo is best known for her fashion design,
or 'clothes-making' as she would probably prefer to call it,
her artistic vision encompasses many other areas of design,
from graphics to packaging,
to costume and exhibition design, to furniture,
and to the architecture of her retail spaces.
her designs have inspired many new designers like e.g.the
belgian martin margiela and ann demeulemeester,
as well as austrian designer helmut lang.
