The
Design Museum is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the British road signage
system with a free installation of signs and illustrations.
The installation brings together leading designers and artists to create their own reinterpretations of the circle, triangle and square signs. More than thirty of these new signs are on display in the Design Museum’s Tank and Riverside Hall, including work by Sir Peter Blake, Sir Terence Conran, Sir Kenneth Grange, Betty Jackson and Julian Opie.

The

This
Victoria’s Secret Angel…

… wears
her new shoes 20 minutes at a time. “Wearing them for short bits is best until
you’re sure you’re not going to get blisters!”
So
there you go. Best of all was actress Julianne Moore's tip:
“Don’t
get shoes that are that uncomfortable to begin with!”
Can't
argue with that. How do we do it here at The DC? We get the butler to wear 'em
for a week. Seemples.
Spare
a thought for Eliud Kipchoge, whose shoes fell apart while running a marathon…
The
30-year-old elite Kenyan runner won the race (Berlin Marathon) at a 2:04:00
personal best, defying footwear problems, according to the Berlin Marathon’s
official website. The insoles were falling out of his shoes by around the
10-mile mark, though Kipchoge was reportedly aware of the issue early in the race.
