Fame, I'm gonna live forever.....

KENYA CHIC $59


These flashy leggings are not for the faint of heart. Choose from wild, metallic prints with names to match like Kenya Chic, Midnight Madam and Show Girl.

Many of the prints used are limited stock rescued from downtown's fashion district. This limits the amount Costume Dept. makes and how much we get in. So pass by the Project Stores and get a pair. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.

MIDNIGHT MADAM $55

LIBERTY BELL $37

COLD BLOODED $35

SHOW GIRL $37

MAYAN CALANDER $46

Projects' Staff Weekly Obsession: James Jean


Kalyca is loving James Jean right now.

A couple of months ago, I came across a promotional video for Prada's Spring line. Immediately I became fascinated with the background setting and the animation, completely forgetting the purpose for the video (to advertise Prada's accessories).

The hunt was on; who was the mastermind behind it and what else had he or she done in the art world? James Jean is his name and illustration is his game.

I'll let his work do the talking.

Shoes for Lovely People is a line known for beautiful heels without the pain. Here are three of their styles for our lovely girls to chose from.


Available now.

The best one is Raymond Robot. Naughty Raymond Robot can either be used as a pendant or a charm. The head houses the actual flash drive, and the crystal ears flash during data transfer.

Rack It Up.

Biking around in NYC is the fashionable thing to do these days. It's only right that there are creative bike racks for us to use.

Musician and biking enthusiast David Bryne has taken his bike-aphilia to the next level and teamed up with The Department of Transportation and Pace Wildenstein to create nine temporary bike racks that have been place throughout the city.

After 11 months the racks will be removed and sold as works of art.

Click here for the names and locations of the racks.

Look Don't Drink.



The Charybdis fountain is William Pye's largest vortex water sculpture to date, and it was created using a large acrylic polymer cylinder which allows an air-core vortex to form as water is pumped in a circular motion.

The fountain also relies on a heavy-duty water filtration system which is necessary to keep the vortex clean and spinning properly.

Always On Time!


Digital Melting Dali
.

After seeing Time Table it got me thinking. What others forms of clocks are out there that are unique and could be conversational pieces? We would no longer have a reason to be late with these in our homes.
The Aitkenhead Clock.

Normal's Grid Clock.

The Wave Clock.
