Lacoste Porcelain Polo Shirts by Li Xiaofeng

Lacoste invited Chinese porcelain artist Li Xiaofeng to create two different polos for their Holiday 2010 Collector’s Series. The first is a printed polo, created from photographs of blue and white porcelain shards with lotus and children designs from the Kangxi Period (1662 – 1772 AD) of the Qing Dynasty. 


The printed polo is limited to 20,000 pieces for both men and women and comes packaged in a silk pouch stamped with a red seal logo. The second, is an actual porcelain polo inspired by the early Ming Dynasty (1368 -1644 AD). The most expensive and most exclusive Lacoste polo to date, the piece took Xiaofeng three full months to paint, fire, fragment, shape, polish, and finally link together. 


The porcelain shirts are currently on display in France at the Musée des Arts et Métiers and will then head to Beijing in the Fall at Li Xiaofeng’s first one-man at the Red Gate Gallery.

Karl Lagerfeld Designs Luxury Safe

Safety-minded narcissists have a new ally in designer Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld has partnered with German luxury safe maker Döttling to create the Narcissus, a limited edition safe that weighs over 1,700 pounds and is clad in high-gloss chrome-plated aluminum. The gleaming monolith is just under six-feet tall and less than a foot deep.

The project took approximately two years from concept to completion. When activated twin doors slide open to reveal watch winders and jewelry drawers. The chilly minimalist design seems like it would suit a villain in a James Bond movie. There will be just 30 safes made and each sells for 250,000 euros. The first safe went to Lagerfeld himself.
