HERMES BRANDED 'LIVE ON WATER' SUPERYACHT
There are superyachts, and then there’s the new Live on Water concept. Put together by Monaco-based yacht maker Wally Construct and Paris-based high-fashion luxury brand Hermes, the new watercraft not only stuns with an exquisite design, it also makes for a green wave commuter. Dubbed WHY (Wally Hermes Yacht), this colossal luxury yacth is 58 meters long and 38 meters across, enough to feature a 25 meter pool and a 36 meter beach for ultimate sea-faring relaxation. Other than its high end amenities and the contemporary living spaces, it comes with a 900 square meters solar panel array and a waste management systems capable of holding both organic and inorganic waste. Not sure about you but WHY looks like the ultimate party boat to us.

Maison Martin Margiela Glass Slippers
Made famous by none other than Cinderella and brought to life by Maison Martin Margiela, the Brothers Grimm fantastical shoe concept now exists, albeit in limited quantities.
While Margiela usually plays with reality by repurposing everyday objects (see his Currency Wallets, nail keyring and silver hospital bracelet) rather than turning to fairytales, we can't think of a better designer to execute this shoe. Taking the idea further, the designer sells these limited edition heels, not in pairs, but per piece. We shouldn't have to tell you that these pumps are not for daily use, however if you're brave make sure to get a pedicure and tread lightly.
Available at Maison Margiela Stores for HK$9,900 each or HK$19,999 for the pair.

Fujifilm launches a 3-D photo digital camera
Fujifilm said today it has launched a digital camera that can take 3-D videos and photos. You can view these images without special 3-D glasses.
Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive of graphics chip maker Nvidia, announced the development and showed off the camera at his company’s GPU Technology conference in San Jose, Calif.
The Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D W1 camera will be introduced in the U.S. soon and it has already been introduced in overseas markets. The camera can capture images in 3-D and videos. The system has a 3-D camera and a 3-D image viewing system. The camera has two Fujinon lenses that layer together two images which can be viewed in 3-D. The camera also has two image sensors. The display on the camera allows users to see natural 3-D images with the naked eye. All you have to do is point the camera and press the shutter button to take the 3-D pictures and movies.
Users can adjust the camera and edit the 3-D images so that the 3-D effect is appropriate for the picture. The camera can also take conventional two-dimensional images. You can transfer images to a computer and view them on any display. Fujifilm has also figured out a way to print the 3-D images via Fujifilm’s SeeHere.com photo-printing site. The camera sells for $599.95 and the viewer costss $499.95. Prints will be available for $6.99 and take 15 days for delivery.
