TYPO London 20-22 October

Most people think typography is just about the art of creating nice looking ‘fonts’ you can use in a word document.

Well it’s not, it’s significance to the creative world is far more than you and I can comprehend. That is why TYPO have introduced a 3 day confrence that covers all aspects ‘of the creative industry, cultural and social issues and as the name suggests, a contemporary commentary on graphic design, typography and communication from the word up.’

So, check out the website, even if you aren’t planning to go to the event, it’s a great resource on the hot new designers and creatives that are around at the moment, as well as the companies they work for.

Dust Hoodie of 1903

Koyoto Costume Institute

‘The clothing for automobile rides. Cars were a luxury at the beginning of the 20th century, when this outfit was made. In those days cars had no roofs, and driver and passengers were exposed to winds and rain. Furthermore, because roads were unpaved, motorists had to endure considerable dirt and dust. Accordingly, driving outfits needed to include a long coat, eye protection, and a dust hood, which was far from graceful. However, driving was the latest pleasure and a status symbol for the wealthy of that era.’
