Digital Paris Fashion Week is a thing, and it really showed that designers and other creators could rise to the occasion even without live runway events.
In this video, LA MÉTAMORPHOSE debuts their Fall Winter 2020-2021 Couture.
It shows what you can do with great fashion, and your own chateau.
Paris Fashion Week continues even without the large events this year, and a large part of it is being presented digitally. Watch here the Dior’s Autumn-Winter 2020-2021 Haute Couture Collection

We always enjoy the designs coming from fashion house Enfants Riches Deprimes, and their Spring/Summer collection for the Maison de Commerce line is a great example.
Betabrand has the fun business model of crowdsourcing its designs by vote. Recently, a cool cat pattern won by a huge margin, and is a hot seller.
Betabrand, a San Francisco-based online clothing company, has received an incredible response to its feline-based designs. “We all know that cats basically power the Internet,” says founder and CEO Chris Lindland, “but damn …”
According to Lindland, not only have Betabrand’s new Catstooth Dress Pant Yoga Pants and matching blazer shattered crowdfunding records, the company cat (see below) has topped Reddit’s homepage, been posted by the likes of Ellen DeGeneris and Kirsten Bell, and is surely on track to surpass total Grumpy Cat and Lime Cat memes any day now. Still, Lindland says, “we didn’t anticipate that this product would tap into a cat-news-hungry network of millions.”
One of the top sellers is this frisky edition of Dress Pant Yoga Pants.
After any product becomes a hit, Betabrand quickly polls its fanbase on related design ideas. So only a week after its Catstooth pants debuted, the company launched a Catstooth blazer.
As this print’s popularity grows, the company will continue to crowdsource new Catstooth prototypes, with concept scarves, skirts and shirts now queueing up in the pipeline. Says Lindland, “If companies are seeking a revenue catalyst during the quarantine, look no further than felines.”
Betabrand has open-sourced Mr. Fred for meme developers.
San Francisco-based Betabrand gives consumers a voice in design, inviting them directly into clothing’s creative process. From a product’s first sketch to the last pixel, Betabrand’s fans decide what’s next.

If we all could make such productive and creative use of our available time as London-based museum curator Filippo Lorenzin and artist Marianna Benetti.
After over two weeks of being at home and isolated, they decided to recreate famous artworks in miniature as a tiny gerbil art museum, in gerbil themes and gerbil-safe materials (mostly cardboard). The recreations included Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss, Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Johannes Vermeer’s The Girl With the Pearl Earring, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
The gerbils, named Pandoro and Tiramisu (apparently their foodies), have taken to their new space.
We’re guessing it will last for about 2 weeks before they chew their way through it. Ah, art is so ephemeral!
As promised, this is the full video of our gerbils visiting the museum. No gerbils or gallery assistants were harmed in the making of this. from r/aww
