I recently had the opportunity to visit the Absolut Ice Bar in London to mark the launch of new paper range called Inuit, I was quite excited as I’d heard it was a really cool place (literally). So there we all are dressed in massive cloaks looking a little err… stupid?! At first it was great, the whole bar was made of ice and even the drinks were served in ice glasses, the novelty soon wore off as the -5 atmosphere seeped through the insulation of our cloaks, we bailed out after 10 minutes in seek of refuge downstairs, we found it, free vodka shots off a polar bear ice sculpture. If there is anyone brave (or stupid) enough you can also stay in the Absolut ice hotel in Canada or Sweden.

So it appears that there is life after death, Paul Frank has produced this fab collection of bags, belts and wallets with Andy Warhol (must have been through a psychic medium). Paul Frank says his collaborations come about simply because they are inspired by the original product or artist, their hall of fame includes greats like Elvis and Barbie.

The CAMPER store on Westbourne Grove, London is undergoing some long term restorations. A temporary store has been set up whilst they wait for the larger space to be developed. A simple and extremely effected use of shoe boxes combined with doodled graffiti wall decoration creates a superb, original, useful and recyclable retail environment.
