VANS X ELEY KISHIMOTO

American manufacturer Vans agreed on collaboration with iconic British design house Eley Kishimoto.

Founded in 1992 by husband-and-wife team Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, Eley Kishimoto has a mission to ‘Print the World’ and is known for their vibrant, graphic, and always eye-catching designs.

Vans paired new and iconic Eley Kishimoto prints with their footwear and apparel to merge fashion and art in a collection that exemplifies creativity and stand-out style.

Inspiration came from the idea of graphic patterns co-existing with daily human life, manifesting in a patterned tribe’s urban playground. Road markings, tribal—what is just around us and mix them all up.

10 The Most Expensive Paintings in the World

The world’s most famous paintings, especially old master works done before 1803, are generally owned or held at museums. The museums very rarely sell them, and as such, they are quite literally priceless.

I’ve chosen the most expensive paintings ever sold in an auctions or private sales. The prices shown are all adjusted for inflation.

Spend a Night in a Bubble

Are you looking for a hotel to spend a romantic and extraordinary night in?

Just 10 miles north of Marseille in Southern France lies the Attrap’Reves Hotel.

The bubbles are all located within a short walking distance from the nearest village and a main building, which provides meals, telescopes with star charts, an outdoor jacuzzi and other amenities. The only way to get to any bubble is by walking down it’s individual access road, which ensures guests aren’t disturbed.

A silent blower keeps the space inflated, while constantly recycling the air inside. The bubbles are furnished with a king-sized bed, nightstands, reading lamps, and a set of table and chairs, all of which have been designed to fit different styles for guests to choose from. Guests can also choose between bubbles that are fully or partially transparent, depending on how much privacy they would like. And even though they’re out in the woods, each bubble has electricity and a sink/shower area with running water.

Prices start at €109 (US$137) and range up to €499 (US$625) depending on what location, season, and amenities you choose for your visit.

For example: 
1 night package for 2 persons with breakfast and telescope with star chart; transparent panoramic bubble in Provencal pine forest is 139€ (156$) in high season.
