Neon is Now

Geometric patterns are everywhere. In recent weeks I've spotted a super Sportsgirl window on Chapel St South Yarra (top), Chevron & citrus patterned graphics providing strong moments in not-so-new Myer stores around the country (no mean feat to create strong visual change on what I assume is a shoestring budget), whilst Whistles in the UK look to be flying colourful kite like patterns of a similar ilk ... it's pop, visually powerful and what's in play, right here right now.

Yayoi oi oi oi

My mate Murphy, my mum and my good self went along to the kooky, wonderful, quirky Yayoi Kusama exhibit at GOMA (Brisbane) last Christmas (above). Yayoi has since collaborated with LV on a range of clothing and accessories. The instore experience at Selfridges is indeed just that ... and then some. LV images via Dezeen.
