MTV Party to Go, Vol. 1 & 2

I have been intrigued by the graphic design of the early 90's lately, and the MTV Party to Go comps are a pretty good representation of what I'm referring to.  See also stuff like promotional materials and album covers by Technotronic and C+C Music Factory.

What are we seeing in this kind of work?

• Tons of high-energy neon jewel tones, contrasted with each other and with black
• Bold, (perhaps artificially) condensed or expanded typefaces like Impact
• Saturated photography
• Circular badge-like graphics

YES!

If you're interested in listening to these gems, they're obtainable online: Volume 1 / Volume 2

Angela Lindvall in Prada, Fall 1999.

You see those boots she is wearing? I have those. I wish you could see the details, because they're kind of crazy: they are forest green with brown and aqua patent leather leaves and acorns all over them. They were my pride and joy for some time.

I haven't worn them in years because the heel has an early 2000's geometric shape to it, and I'm not feeling that style quite yet.

Liberty Ross in Etro, Spring 2002

Vintage Sunglasses

Left to right, top to bottom:

Michele Lamy, 1970's. Available at Eyewear Mebius

Michelle Lamy is a super cool individual. It's hard to find much history about her, especially related to the sunglasses. What's easy to discover is that she's Rick Owens'  wife, that she used to own Les Deux Cafes in Los Angeles, and that she has dyed black fingertips and gold plated teeth.

“TAXI” by Casanova Venezia, 1990's. Available at Solakzade

Unknown brand, 1990's. Available at Eyewear Mebius

Michele Lamy, 1970's. Available at Eyewear Mebius

Graffitis, 1960's. Available at Eyewear Mebius

Michele Lamy, 1980's. Available through 1st Dibs

These are off the hook. They remind me of a 1930's bakelite radio, reinterpreted by the animators of Beverly Hills Teens.

Walter Burger

Walter Burger is a Swiss painter, born in 1923. I haven't been able to find much info about him, so if you know anything, please inform me!

 Walter Burger, Begegnung, 1968. Definitely the piece he is known for.

I don't have information on the title for this.

Morgen, 1994

In 1993, a Swiss Aids awareness organization (AHSGA) started collaborating with artists for a series of lithographs. Above is Burger's contribution.


"Gerade Menschen, die mit dem HI-Virus leben müssen, empfinden das Leben oft als deutlicher, bewusster, mit geschärftem Blick." - Walter Burger

My translation is this: People who live with the HIV virus often have an especially clear consciousness and keen eye.

Miscellaneous COLOR!

Agatha de la Ruiz Prada, Spring/Summer 2009

I love the colors used in the Bally collection for spring and summer this year. The two-tone shoes (green on the inside, blue on the outside) are great! Below is another shot of them:

Tan Tang Niah house, 37 Kerbau Road, Little India, Singapore. It was built in 1900, and restored in 1990.

It would be so cool if rays of color really bounced off of ping pong balls.
