Affordable Scandinavian denim-centric store Weekday has teamed up with the hyped
American designer Matthew Ames for a denim capsule collection.
“It’s about focusing on what is integral to the design. It’s something quiet, but powerful. The Prairie School developed a new vocabulary for design and aesthetics that considered the way people live. The collection for Weekday represents these same goals,” says Matthew Ames.
My love for Scandinavian fashion is always in my blood and has been steadily increasing for years. The passion emerged even more when I see this perfect collaboration of the American post-minimalist Matthew Ames and Weekday. They has created Prairie – a denim based collection consisting of a quiet yet powerful range of essential pieces, where all garments can easily be mixed and combined. The pieces are paired-back, minimal and premium. The collection – Prairie – is an elegant line inspired by the purity of American prairie landscape mixed with the American architectural style The Prairie School. Matthew Ames has become known for his close attention to detail and craftsmanship that always strives for simplicity and purity. Most of the pieces come in denim, they are timeless and designed to stay in the customers wardrobe for many years. Simply put, Matthew Ames’ collection is more about individual garments than overall fashion.
“Weekday are really known for their work with denim, so I thought it could be exciting to bring this into the collection in a new way. Historically denim is something very American, but now has obviously been adopted all over the world. So I think it makes great sense for this collaboration between an American designer and Weekday, a Swedish brand” says Matthew Ames.

As they claimed, Communication design is a discipline that covers many paths. A student does not only learn to walk those paths, but also to generate alternative routes towards different solutions to design problems. That is why ‘CommDe Creative Walk’ consists of a multimedia exploration of the various fields of communication design, such as graphic design, sound, time-based and interaction design, photography, illustration and many others.

A bit irony here. The leaves (that are made of paper) were blended with manmade structure.
I really like this concept of Panita Saenghiranwatana – Life And Death Through Senses of the Coroners.
Kanom Chotiko and her Seriously Happy book which contains ’49 simple techniques :
Neu and his real funnn games ‘The Adventure of the Advertising Man”. clever, enjoyable and sarcastic – this game made me a little bit mentally happier I could say. Although some of the questions inbetween each stage are quite hard, I have cleared the whole game and also the boss, woohoo!
Last but not least, the thesis of my dear best friend Strong Theveethivarak “You’ve got a friend”, centered on the idea of Magic Realism. He developed the concept of an imaginary friend by blending fantasy and reality together.
