Virgine Magazine Issue #1: Edible Dress & Creative Concepts

...believe it or not but this dress is made entirely out of M&Ms

Cintia Dicker in Virgine Magazine's Premiere issue

If the word "Vigine" means nothing to you now maybe in a couple of years it will. 


The name Virgine is a combination of “Virgin” as in “first” and “pure”, “virtual” as in “VIRGINE’s existence evolves around the virtual world”, and and magazine. Its a brand new  bi-annual hard copy magazine that launched a couple of months ago. 

VIRGINE Magazine is a brand new innovative high fashion, art and music platform set to revolutionize the way people interact with the fashion industry. Through our proximity with today’s major influential voices in the fashion field, we have managed to develop a magazine that stays ahead of current styles and trends.

VIRGINE is seeking ways to increase societies’ devotion to charity contribution, so every issue our magazine’s first page will be dedicated to charity oriented advertisements.

In addition, we want to create a fashion platform that serves as a bridge between top industry professionals and up-and-coming artists to be showcased side by side under the esthetic and standards of VIRGINE.

Furthermore, VIRGINE wants to innovate by forming bridges between different industries. Imagine an article written by a fashion model who wants to become an editor or an interview conducted by the actual photographer who shot the subject. This is the kind of content we are looking for; content that brings a different perspective to our audience

With VIRGINE, you will be propelled into a global culture of beauty, esthetic, creativity and innovation.

If you read their "About" (above) you can see that they are really dedicated to their work, and if anything, will take no prisoners when it comes to becoming one of the best innovative magazines in the world. I love creativity and I love that Virgine is doing something different. It may be interesting to find out just how much they can "bridge the gaps" in the industry that they want to create. 

Who knows? They may fail and never complete any of their goals...Or they might just become just exactly what they said they'd be.

Good Design: Birthday Cards & Wrapping

This Many Card by Sarah Hollowood

via.Good Design Makes Me Happy

I think in life we usually take for granted the simple things in life that make us happy or make our life go by easier. A simple postcard or the button on our jacket all makes for good design. Trust me, someone is behind  everything. This Birthday Card is so cute and you can totally personalize it for anyone that you send it to. My only question is who is going to fill up that whole sheet ? I don't think anyone is as old as the amount of candles found on that page.

Speaking of Good Design. How awesome is the  Universal Gift Wrap, wrapping paper for every occasion! via thedieline ?

Design and art direction: Fabio Milito, Francesca Guidotti

Too bad it's not for sale. At least I can't find it. 

I would love to use this or to at least be given a package with this wrapping at least once

Crazy Designs: Chewing Gum Stilettos

 

Chewing Gum Stilettos designed by Kobi Levi

I found these stilettos quite a while ago but came across them again while looking in my photo album. Not something I would wear but I like when designers get creative or innovative. I might want to walk on a pencil or a ruler stilletto. Crazy ?
