The Hurricane Poster Project

The Hurricane Poster Project is finally wrapping up.

We will be selling posters until June 24th, and then archiving the remaining posters for exhibitions and posterity.

After 22 months, 180 different posters from around the world, exhibitions in the United States and Europe, numerous design awards, and over $50,000 raised for hurricane victims, we would like to thank everyone who was involved with making this project a success.

The idea was born in the early hours after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, and quickly became a massive undertaking.

Twenty-four hours after conceiving the idea, we were receiving emails from around the world.

Twenty-two months later, we can honestly say that we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Indian Spices on the Design Fashion Plates

India's fashion designers may not yet have worldwide recognition but their fresh ideas - and the country's booming economy - are turning the heads of foreign buyers.

"It's an exciting time to be here. There's a serious buzz about India.

The wealth here is growing. It's the same for fashion," said Patrick Hanly, commercial director for British style emporium Harvey Nichols.

Mr Hanly is one of dozens of buyers from the world's top department stores in New Delhi last week for the Indian capital's seventh fashion week, at which nearly 80 designers unveiled their autumn-winter 2006-07 collections.

"India is a big buzz right now. It needs to be investigated," said Chantal Rousseau, who works for U.S. chain Bloomingdales.
