LEGO is a toy established by Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1930s. He came out with two letters of Danish words Leg Godt, which mean "Play Well". He put the letters together and created LEGO, which turns out to mean "I put together" in Latin. The meaning of those words became the foundation and concept behind the company and this collection. Interlock pieces with endless configurations in colors and layers of felt and lego together; enhance with the ideas of unplugs and rebuilds to change shape and silhouette in the collection. Collection emphasized more on esthetics of outer beauty. Felt are sew on the fabrics to create graphical patterns. LEGO bricks are used as an embellishment on garment.

 Fashion V Sport Opens at the Walker Art GalleryThe Walker Art Gallery is putting on the style with the opening of a new touring exhibition fresh from London's Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A).Exploring the relationship between contemporary fashion and global sportswear brands over the last 20 years, Fashion V Sport runs until 31 May 2009. Divided into four sections, Dare, Display, Play and Desire, the exhibition guides the visitor through a range of styles, outfits and objects to reveal the creative connections which interlink factors affecting the way we dress today. "Liverpool has a reputation as a fashion conscious city and is especially well known for sports-related fashion," said Pauline Rushton, curator of costume and textiles at National Museums Liverpool. "The influence of the street has always been very important to the city 'wardrobe' and we're often adapting and customising trends especially where sportswear- turned- leisurewear is concerned. From the label-obsessed football casuals on the terraces in the late 1970s and early 1980s to today's designer-loving WAGS, we've been quick to create our own style. It's therefore not surprising that the city is the first venue for this touring exhibition from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London." Displaying around 50 outfits and 120 objects including contemporary sportswear, streetwear, accessories and shoes, the exhibition reflects the convergence of fashion and sport, showing theextent to which designers take inspiration from each other to score hits on both the catwalks and sports fields. event (ended) current design events more info www.liv...
