!! OMG, knitted pickle surprising: Jylle Navarro's knitwears !!
Jylle Navarro's work sometimes is a little 'woolen Monsters In[c] Your Pockets', often a tad 'sock goblins who live under the bed' sometimes just a bit 'Pickle Surprise' [above] and can end up down right 'harajuku lamp-shade ladies with tangled yarny nunchuck slinkies'!
!['woolen Monsters In[c] Your Pockets',](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs6RvFfTWuw/UZE5MQ9tmPI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/BVtC0Ik2aH8/s1600/2013-02-13-jylle1-COLOURGROUP.jpg){kind=link}
Jylle spoke to Wonderland [HERE] about her current interest in Bowie's alien iconography, macrame and tasseling, and her ideas for the next collection:
"I think I might got for a John Waters style freak and fetish collection.I'm thinking grown men in knitted baby bonnets."

!! OMG, welcome to brown town: VV Brown's 'Samson' !!
The last time VV wrote a record, she ended up ditching the whole thing as she found as a "sonic photograph" it no longer represented how she felt at the time of near-completing it.
She has since explored her love of environmental, ethical fashion through her e-commerce company vvvintage, and having caught the business bug and feeling a sense of too much comfort to be creative she then quit her label to launch her own under the banner 'YOY', which scared the crap out of her enough to spark real creativity in order to produce her upcoming record 'Samson & Delilah' which is due out this September and includes an accompanying 15 minute short film.
Her first single from the album, 'Samson' which you can watch below is out in mid July.
VV spoke to HungerTV [HERE] about her time away from music, her love of film and her changing attitude towards what makes a good song:
"I used to listen to a song and think how can this be a "hit record" but now I listen to a record and it's all about how it makes me feel...I think I was so consumed in the business of things I had forgotten what it felt like to just listen."

!! OMG, handle with care: Duckie Brown F/W '13 exclusive for Bullett !!
I love a blue suit with black shoes, it's so very British formal public service institution-esque Thomas-the-Tank-Engine-esque, Postman Pat-esque you know what. And as YSL proved more than 30 years ago, black and blue are very chic when paired together correctly.
So if this guy in the thick blue suit was my gallery intern, I'd be super hoping he'd keep his clompy formal bus conductor Opening Ceremony shoes and thicker-than-most royal blue Duckie Brown suit wandering around the room when the opening commences...and in that case I would be trolloping around the gallery with a book of those luminous orange circular stickers that indicate a sale, and I'd be trying to tag that bright blue multi-pocketed intern ass, just to snuggle with his suiting and get ceremonious with his openings!
Jump bellow to see the rest of the series, which was previewed as a DB web exclusive for Bullett.

!! OMG, cathedral couture: the architectural garments of Matija Čop !!
Croatian designer Matija Čop laser-cuts sections of Gothic Cathedral plans out of foam, adding tabs and slots to allow the construction of reversible garments without the need for sewing.
Outfit sections can be reconfigured to create architectural motifs around the body, and the material is UV and water resistant, which makes it perfect for priestly pool parties and Sunday service foam parties and church choir wet t-shirt parties and ARCHITECTURAL BUKAKI PARTIES also!
Follow the jump to see various configurations, interpretations and alta-rations.

!! OMG, Cole & Rubber: Lily Cole's 'Wild Rubber' !!
English model Lily Cole has created a short film for Sky Rainforest Rescue in Acre, Brazil with the aim of helping to protect one billion trees from deforestation.
The film consists mainly of footage shot on an 8mm camera she bought in Paris with fellow Brit and film artist Tacita Dean, and contains images of a rubber-tapping community in Feijó, who's livelihood is threatened by continued deforestation.
You can read a quick Q&A over at NOWNESS, where Lily discusses the accompanying rubber dress that Vivienne Westwood made specially for her to wear at last week's Met Ball.

!! OMG, Scribble Squirlfriends: Marina Abramović & Kim Cattrall !!
Durational performance artist Marina Abramović and 'Sex & the City' actress Kim Cattrall are real good squirlfriends, which is just super because I love them both; Marina for that piece "AAA-AAA" that she did with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen) in '78 where they screamed into each others' mouths for ten minutes straight, and Kim because we both were born in Liverpool and moved to Canada, which I think makes us immigrational doppelgangers or soul sisters or something, oh and she looks hot for 56 year old, however I just look LIKE a 56 year old, she looks my age I look her age, basically.
Vmag eavesdropped on a phone conversation between the two, Abramović in New York, and Cattrall down south, researching for her upcoming role in Tennessee Williams' 'Sweet Bird Of Youth' at The Old Vic in London-Town.
What Kim had to say about Marina:
"Her mind sees things in a very serious way, but she doesn't."
...and what Marina had to say of her friendship with Kim:
"This kind of friendship that is free from the pressure...to be smarter than the other one or play power games or feel jealousy."
You can see their individual photos after the jump and read the whole transcribed conversation HERE, where they discuss peeling shrimp in Baton Rouge and how Marina -the woman who stabs herself with knives as part of her public performances- has to be coaxed by Kim to go on a twirly centrifugal carnival ride 'because she was scared'!

!! OMG, lux clinicians: AISLING FARRELL !!
Bullett just included Tokyo-based Central Saint Martins graduate Aisling Farrell in their fashion designers to keep an eye on right now, and I think I might agree please.
I j'adore her use of clear plastic overlays and various off-white tonals that give her clothes a lux-clinical feel with those pieces under plastic casings seeming too precious and clean to fully uncover, in fear the models might BREAKFAST BARF on them ALBINO PEACOCK feathers. She spoke to Bullett of the concept for her latest collection:
"It's based on the natural phenomenon of static electricity. My primary aim was to harness this force and the interaction between different materials at an atomic level to create a kinetic display."
Click below to see a few more of her pieces including matchy-matching Blade Runner-esque translucent rain-mac and muff.
