Designer Kenzo Takada started painting ten years ago after he sold his Kenzo label to luxury goods company LVMH. Now he's showing off the fruits of his work at the Studio 55 gallery in Paris. The small exhibition of eight works feature the Japanese-born designer in a series of flower-printed kimonos. Kenzo is a also a collector of Asian art, furniture and antique kimonos. The exhibit runs through July 10.

Limited Edition Exercise Machine: The Designer PowerPlate

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Exercise machines might help make people beautiful but the equipment itself is usually anything but. Looking to change all that, however, is Japanese fashion designer Kenzo Takada, who has decked out a PowerPlate (vibrate your way to fitness) in a vivid floral motif. The limited edition model is bright and colorful almost to the point of being obnoxious, but I'm thinking most exercise rooms could use the pop of color (whether it coordinates or not). 'Regular' PowerPlates sell for approx $4,500 but this one will cost you £9,525 (or about $14,300).
