Lady Gaga Talks Fashion For V Magazine

Looks like there's a new Fashion journalist for VMagazine and its none other than Pop Icon Lady Gaga

'I begin next month as a Fashion+Art Columnist for @VMagazine.+I'll be resurrecting "TRANSMISSION GAGAVISION" episodes starting next week!' Tweets Lady Gaga

Very exciting news for readers of VMagazine, always one to shock the media with her crazy outfits (We all remember the full on meat outfit she wore at the MTV Video Music Awards). I'm sure Gaga articles and visions will be just as eye catching as her outfits.

I wonder what words of wisdom Lady Gaga has to say about Fashion! By the Summer we can know for ourselves when it hits the shelfs.

Transforming Modern Architect's Works Into 3D Typefaces

Designer Chris Labrooy, inspired by his design heroes; architects Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Toyo Ito, Oscar Niemeyer, Frank Gehry and designer Ettore Sottsass, has created 3D typography based on their works using computer rendering and illustration.

Tadao Ando 3D Type
Typography design based on the architecture of Tadao Ando. Chris chose his favourite Tadoa buildings as a basis for developing these expressive letter forms. Included are: Chikatsu Asuka historical museum / Water temple / Naoshima contemporary art museum annex:





Zaha Hadid 3D Type
Typography design based on the architecture of Zaha Hadid. With this piece, Chris focused on capturing Zaha's formal language rather than reference specific buildings because he claims to be interested in her drawings and paintings from the eighties.:




Oscar Niemeyer 3D Type
Typography design based on the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer. Chris picked his favourite Niemeyer buildings as a basis for developing these expressive letter forms. Included are : Cathedral of Brasília / Niterói Contemporary Art Museum / Ibirapuera Park theatre / Oscar Niemeyer Museum.






Toyo Ito 3d type
Letter forms inspired by Toyo Ito's impressive works. The combination of simple forms with inricate perforations is what excited Chris about Toyo's work. These letters are based on : TOD's omotesando / Tower of winds / Taichung opera house / Mikimoto department store:




Frank Gehry 3d Type
Typography design based on the architecture of Frank Gehry. Chris picked his favourite Gehry buildings as a basis for developing some expressive letter forms. Included are: Guggenheim Bilboa / Aerospace museum / Gehry house / experience music project / dancing house prague:







Although not an architect. Ettore Sottsass' memphis style designs inspired Chris to create a font.

Ettore Sottsass 3d Type
Letter forms inspired by Sottsass's early 80's furniture. This work is Chris' attempt to revisit the past, get inspired, and share with people new and interesting interpretations on familiar historical works:





His Helvetica 3D Type does the opposite of the above works. In this font, Chris has turned a typeface into architecture:




For Bauhaus, Chris took a design style and sensibility and also turned it into a 3d rendering of a building:




Also worth noting is his "Playful Type" made of sex toys:
