Hold the phone! We have just stumbled across what may be our fave project of the year: The Market Estate Project. 75 artists have been let loose on a 1960s housing estate in London that has been scheduled for demolition. And as the bulldozers rev their engines, the public are invited in to catch a fleeting glimpse of what these artists have created.
For one day only (Saturday March 6), Londoners can take a tour through of the 66 site-specific projects across 20 vacant flats of Market Estate. It breaks our heart to know that in a matter of days these paintings, sculptures and installations will be nothing more than rubble, but that’s all the more reason to see it while you can.
The Market Estate Project is on view Saturday March 6 from 2pm-10pm only.

Erin Wasson’s enviable style can be yours. Building from her x RVCA clothing label and high-end accessories line Wasson’s latest jewellery collection, a collaboration with Pascal Mouawad, will begin selling exclusively in Australia at miijo.com this month.
Inspired by the southwest American dessert, Wasson fuses American Indian tribal aesthetics with a sense of the ancient. The collection is like something you’ve discovered in a pirate’s hidden treasure chest or a vagabond’s pouch. Putting a modern spin on her ages-old inspiration, “I wanted to capture that sense of someone on the border, crossing back and forth,” explains Wasson.
The rings, necklaces, cuffs and bangles look like something from a foregone time, yet Wasson’s gift for the streetwise and sartorial means you’ll be looking enviously fashion forward with these pieces.
We are giving away this fabulous armour knuckle ring to one lucky new subscriber, so get subscribing.
To be in the running simply follow the instructions below. Already a Kluster subscriber? No problem, just convince a friend to let you subscribe them too (include their name and email address in the body of the email).

Though the end of the year is almost upon us, it looks like the GFC is still claiming casualties. Iconic American design publication I.D. Magazine has announced they are shutting up shop after 55 years, with the upcoming January/February edition to be its last. Publisher Gary Lynch has cited the decline in print advertising, as well as a fragmentation of core readership as the major factors behind the decision.
I.D.'s Annual Design Review will continue in an online format, but it's a sad day for lovers of design and print.

Christmas shopping sucks. But it doesn't have to.
You don't need to mall trall with all the screaming snotty kids and nannas. This year, we are going to the very gorgeous Finder Keepers Spring/Summer markets at Carriageworks in Sydney. There we shall browse from a huge range of stalls featuring unique and special homewares, clothing and gifts from some of Australia's most promising designers. Not only will we be basking in the praise from our deeply grateful loved ones, who will be entranced by their truly spectacualr Chrissy gifts, but it's also a chance to support emerging artists and designers. And it really sticks one to Westfield...Ha!
The markets are on Friday evening the 4th of December, and Saturday the 5th of Decemer all day, with live music, great food and, sigh...a bar...CarriageWorks - 245 Wilson Street, Eveleigh NSW 2015.
