"Fashion is forbidden topic in this Forum."
But jewellery is OK?
So I'd like to ask, what is Your opinion, is Maria Whittaker wearing some kind of costume or just jewellery in this video game cover?

strange
I never noticed that. I would consider fashion, graphic, and web design to be quite applicable to modernism.

Of course
Of course it is design!

We are hardly likely to discuss the banalities of hem length and the like are we ?

I vote we can talk fashion, and graphics..
All these disciplines are so linked these days !

I would agree, but then...
I would agree, but then again it is not my website. I wonder if the generous hosts would agree at this point to lift the ban. Perhaps it was put in place at conception on order to establish the websites main focus on architecture and furniture design. I think we are well established now, and the majority of posters enthusiastically keep its focus employed naturally. Any topic of the banned design fields are only icing on the cake at this point, but not the main course. If I have a graphic or web concern who else would I ask other than the people I have posted with for years now ... the ones whose design principles I trust?

This message was placed,...
This message was placed, when we launched the forum, to mark out the field of discussion. The field covered by DA was already very broad (product, furniture, interior, transportation designs, etc.) and we wanted to make sure that we keep a coherence in the contents. This rule is probably unnecessary after all these years. The forum has today a strong enough identity to support certain digressions.
You are, of course, invited to speak freely about related disciplines (architecture, graphic design, fashion design...).
We are not so tyrannical ;-)

Sneakers, like...
...many Adidas and Nike and Reebok and Asics products are not classified as fashion in many design books.
Their technology has changed more than their looks.

oh, man
When I was in first grade (way, way back in 1961), my Aunt Gladys gave me a cotton knit pullover for Christmas. It had pretty much that same Mondrianesque color block pattern as those YSL dresses. Same colors.

I LOVED IT. I really did. I wore it out.

I'm sure we all know about Pierre Cardin and Paco Rabanne

One of Cardin's furniture designers was none other than Maria Pergay.

The first is a Cardin Desk, the others are pieces by Rabanne.

And also, not really a fashion designer designing furniture...

but rather a fashion house hiring a furniture designer, these iconic pieces by Jacques Adnet for Hermes.

How about weapons?
Is most ergonomic handgun Uzi, Kalashnikov, Colt or Glock? And which battle tank has most ergonomic seats? Centurion Mk3 or M1 Abrams?

Just joking(maybe this was bad joke).

So no more on this subject. Only link I include to this message is Nobel Peace Prize. Was Barack Obama first US President to win one?

But what comes to Nobel Medicine, Lobotomy is bad brain design.
I have been many times victim of psychiatric abuse but not that one.


I have even never been in military service.
