Founded in 1924, Kodomo no Kagaku (”Science for Kids”) is THE magazine for Japanese kids to recreate scientific looking stuff until today. And right now, Tokyo’s INAX Gallery 1 is holding the The Age of Crafts - Growing up with ‘Kodomo no Kagaku’ exhibition, which features recreations of projects featured in the magazine’s issues of the 1950s and 60s. How cute! Remember, these projects symbolise an age when electric washing machines and lunar landing vessels held a deep fascination throughout the nation. PingMag went to INAX for a trip into the past with kids’ wonderful science projects.

Siamese Fighting Fish Dresses at Rodarte (GALLERY)

Seemingly inspired by the complex beauty and graceful movements of exotic fish, Rodarte’s fall/winter 2008 runway show presented stunning ethereal and flowing dresses. Trendinista did a great job of pairing these layered dresses with the fish that seems to be the source of inspiration. A superb sensual runway by Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy.

Conjugating violent tantrums with soothing folk ballads is Leo Burnett’s big idea for their client Afag Shamel DSL in promoting their open internet source service. Just another humorous exaggeration or plain dark humor; what say you?
