Wooster Collective interviews artist Rebecca Ward at the Kate Spade store in Soho, New York for the opening of her latest installation.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you probably have come to suspect that I’m a big Ryan McGinley fan. Yesterday I tweeted about his ethereal photo series for the New York Times Magazine, which captured Winter Olympians in mid-flight draped in Rodarte.

The above video, McGinley made for Opening Ceremony’s collection of Levi’s cords. In it, he captures models mid-air to the music of Pictureplane’s “Goth Star.”

L’Eclaireur boutique’s amazing new space on rue de Sévigné is part interactive installation and part retail store. Outfitted with 147 video screens, 2 tons of wooden planks and countless recycled elements such as printer plates, the collaboration with artist Arne Quinze took almost a year to construct.

Owned by French fashion connoisseur Armand Hadida and his wife Martine, the duo already have 5 stores in Paris and 1 in Tokyo. For their sixth store, they wanted to prove that for selling fashion, it is not obligatory to show it, stating “This is not a store, it is an experience. We are playing with the discovery, the role of the sales associate is to communicate.”

This is a bit older, but I was very taken with the concept behind San Francisco’s Slow Food Nation pavilion, especially that of Sagan Piechota’s design for the pickle-and-chutney booth.

Featuring walls made of pickle jars and a ceiling composed of 3,000 mason jar lids suspended from wires, a total of 3,024 metal canning lids became an undulating and dynamic “ceiling” suspended with filament, Velcro and earring backs.

The “walls” created with multiple rows of jars simply attached to wood studs and arranged to encourage visitor participation by taking and leaving recipes showcased within the jars themselves.
