Heaven was used in the acclaimed skate film Fully Flared directed by Spike Jonze and Ty Evans. The collaboration inspired the directors to take footage and re-edit a sequence of shots that shows the Lakai skateboarding team demonstrating their considerable skills as they navigate through and around various exploding obstacles. With ‘Heaven’ as the musical backdrop, the resulting marriage of sound to picture is quite extraordinary.

Porsche has opened a spectacular new museum at its headquarters in Stuttgart, showcasing more than 80 mouthwatering machines from its past. The gigantic new museum dominates the heart of the company’s Zuffenhausen plant, shading even the flagship franchise next door. Designed by Roman Delugan, whose mantra is ‘physiological architecture’, the futuristic two-storey edifice opened recently and if you love bad men in fast cars you have to pay it a visit.

Following his studies at the Antwerp Academy and his work as an assistant to Jean-Paul Gaultier, the Belgian Martin Margiela founded Maison Martin Margiela in 1988. The firm’s 20th anniversary is the reason for this exhibition. Maison Martin Margiela is based in Paris and designs fashion that rebels against the industry’s constraints while also commenting on these.
Maison Martin Margiela’s (MMM) approach differs in many ways from what is usual in the fashion trade. Rather than engaging in the personality cult like other fashion houses, MMM functions according to the principal of incognito: In order to focus the attention solely on the company’s products, Martin Margiela does not even appear in public at fashion shows and does not publish his portrait. MMM gives interviews in the first person plural either by e-mail or fax. It is unusual and uncompromising to remain incognito in a field in which many fashion designers behave like stars whose personal appearances provide almost as much as an incentive to buy as their creations. At MMM it is not the designer who is in the spotlight but the product.
The exhibition runs from the 20th of March to June 1st, 2009
