It’s fashion week in London, and if it’s anything like last week in New York it should bring out some really fashionable people and some outfits the general public might raise their eyes at. In an effort to challenge images of masculinity the Forgotten Peacock is an art installation that takes your average man and lets him rediscover his hidden peacock. We had a look at some of the outfits and we definitely admit they are challenging, but they push fashion to the level of an art form. Extravagant luxury suits were created by up and coming stars in the fashion world specifically for this installation and is supervised by an academic study men’s approach to their image. We look forward to seeing a couple good English blokes trade their soccer jerseys for one of the half suit/dress things of the Forgotten Peacock project. The project has two events, the first is this Friday at the Design Musuem as part of London’s fashon week, then again in October as a part of the Brunswick. Check the Forgotten Peacock website for tickets and times.

Have your previous lounge experiences been too … well … relaxed? If you’re looking for stimulus from something other than the comfortable furniture and throbbing beats, perhaps you’d be interested in the Polygon Playground. Ths large scale installation that bowed at this year’s SMUKfest music festival in Denmark provides partygoers with more than just a place to lean back and take in the scene. Up to 40 people at a time can explore the dimensions of the interactive island of gradient ramps that leads up to a plateau that sort of resembles Q*Bert. There’s more to this exhibition than just ramps and surfaces. The work is also supported by 360-degree projection mapping and censors that react to the actions of the people inhabiting the space. This unique experience isn’t exclusive to the one piece of furniture concocted for the display, as the hardware and software created can apply to almost any three-dimensional object. Who knows, maybe they’ll use it to replace the disco ball.

We’ve all had little house parties or been to events where you end up sitting on cheap little plastic stools that even the skinniest person fears will snap in half. The folks at Mocha answers these cheap seats with self-stabilizing aluminum stools. Designed by schindlersalmeron, the stools are a beautiful clean design so thin you don’t think it is possible. Think of these as the MacBook Air of stools. Just like the Air, they are a little price at £145 — but there is a price for a good stable seat that is unbelievably thin. Have a look at the stools and some other new products at Mocha’s new site.

If you’ve spent any time living in London, you’ll know the Council Estate have a reputation of being a little dodgy in some of their desision making. Everyone has a story. I heard one the other night, but it ended quite possitive. Although artist T.Magic often found himself on the losing end of the Council Estate’s decisions. His new exhibition Loaded with Meaning focuses his dark social commentry on the Council Estate. Taking cues from his London upbringing and the hardship of poverty, crime and ethnic relations he explores the political and social connotations of London’s less desirable (at least in the Council’s mind) areas. The exhibiton opens September 26th at the Loading Bay Gallery in London’s East Side.

We’ve blogged about Rod Hunt and his amazing art and even greater ability to give colorful titles to pieces. He hasn’t let us down with the group show Hot Rods and Hairy Beasts. Rod will be joined by Linzie Hunter, Nishant Choksi and Allen Sanders for the themed illustrator show. Expect a lot of monsters, some hot chicks, head hunters, the Holy Bible and vehicles that will leave lame creaturs eating their dust. The show opens September 29 and has a short run through the October 4. That’s only one week for those of you playing at home. Be sure to make it to the Coninsby Gallery in London before you get left in the dust.

The Austrilians are getting ready for summer. Just to rub it in our face the Australian fashion house Nobody has launched a new T-shirt aimed at curbing the some of the injustice in the world. Aside from being a stylish shirt, “Nobody WA S Thirsty” focuses on some of the water issues that are taking place in Africa. Just by buying the shirt you will be providing water for two people for 20 years. Pretty amazing for buying a simple tee — well a designer shirt. To raise the profile of the project outside of Austrilia they’ve partnered with Hollowood restaurant Ivan Kane’s Café Wa s for a photography project displaying the effects of a T-shirt and a little celebrity eye candy. The shirts go up for sale online in November, or if you live near a Nobody store you should be able to pick one up just in time for the weather to change.

While partnerships between urban artists and urban brands are nothing unusual, a collaboration between Brooklyn-based designer Dalek and Serbia’s Carrot Clothing is exciting news. As Serbia’s first streetwear company, Carrot Clothing aims to infuse the global art, skate and street communities with its own perspective and history. Carrot first began printing T-shirts bearing anti-war messages for family and friends back in 1999 — a move which landed him in jail. These days, things are looking up: the collection is available in more than 20 countries and features. Now following up June’s successful shirt and print collab with Dalek, Carrot has a new Dalek x Carrot skateboard available. Limited edition of 100.
