Im Jahr 2016 taten sich der Sportartikelhersteller Nike und der Modedesigner Virgil Abloh für eine Sneaker-Kollektion zusammen. Mit ihrem Projekt "The Ten" feierten sie zehn der legendärsten Modelle des in Oregon ansässigen Unternehmens und belebten die Kultur des Turnschuhs neu - vom Air Jordan 1 bis zum Air Max 90 , vom Air Force 1 bis zum Air Presto . Virgil Ablohs Neuentwürfe bieten tiefe Einblicke in technischen Einfallsreichtum und die Entstehung kultureller Güteklasse. Er spielte mit Bausteinen der visuellen Sprache, indem er die Originalität der ursprünglichen Modelle mit Slang-Begriffen und lokalen Idiomen seiner Träger verband. Inspiriert von der Raffinesse des Dadaismus, von Architekturtheorie und vom avantgardistischen Happening analysierte er, was die Schuhe jeweils "ikonisch" macht, und de-konstruierte sie zu kunstvollen Assemblagen - jede Neuschöpfung ist zugleich ein Stück Industriedesign, eine Readymade-Skulptur und ein Kleidungsstück . ICONS spürt diesem investigativen, kreativen Prozess anhand von dokumentierten Prototypen, Textnachrichten von Abloh an die Nike-Designer und Schätzen aus den Nike-Archiven nach. Wir finden Swooshes, die von Air Jordans abgetrennt und mittels Klebeband oder Garn wieder angebracht wurden, Ablohs typische, in Anführungszeichen auf den Air Force 1 gekritzelte Textfragmente und in Stücke geschnittene All Stars. Wir blicken hinter die Kulissen und werden Zeuge von Ablohs freiem DIY-Konzept, das jedem Modell der Off-WhiteTM c/o Nike-Kollektion seine eigene Note verlieh. Ablohs investigativer Designprozess spiegelt sich in der kunstvollen Schweizer Bindung des Buches wider, die den Rücken und so die Beschaffenheit von ICONS offenlegt. Um seine kooperative Arbeitsweise zu dokumentieren, setzte Abloh auf die gedruckte Seite. Für die Gestaltung des Buchs arbeiteten Nike und Abloh eng mit dem renommierten Londoner Designstudio Zak Group zusammen. Gemeinsam schufen sie dieses zweiteilige Kompendium, das zu gleichen Teilen Katalog und konzeptionelle Toolbox ist. Der erste Teil präsentiert die visuelle Kultur des Turnschuhs, während ein Lexikon im zweiten Teil Schlüsselpersonen, Orte, Objekte, Ideen, Materialien und Szenen definiert, aus denen das Projekt hervorgegangen ist. Texte von Nicholas Schonberger (Nike), dem Schriftsteller Troy Patterson, dem Kurator und Historiker Glenn Adamson sowie Virgil Abloh selber verorten die gemeinsame Arbeit innerhalb der Mode- und Designgeschichte. Ein Vorwort von Hiroshi Fujiwara stellt das Projekt in das historische Kontinuum der Gemeinschaftsprojekte von Nike.

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

Unique World, Fun Read
Format: Kindle
I love the concept of a world with all the familiar myths in a whole new dynamic, and this is a flawless execution. It’s not an instalove, by any means, but that just makes the journey more fun in this case. Addi is a true baddie, without being annoying or whining. The guys are jerks, so I’m looking forward to some form of character progression. There’s a cliff, but not a desperate one. No sword crossing (so far anyway, and no hints of it), which suits my current mood perfectly, I just finished an m-preg kick and needed a break. The plot is involved without being convoluted, so it’s a fun and entertaining read while still being interesting. All the stars, and can’t wait to read the next book.

ALL Fantasy Characters In One BOOK!
Format: Paperback
4.5 stars Faes, vampires, mages, shifters and wolves ALL in one book, yes please!! Oh my gosh, this book kept me reading and wanting more. The tension between the FMC - Addi and the MMCs - Raiden, Cassian, Kryll and Brody was high, I didn't know if it would be Addi to break or one of the four men. The Kingdom of Floodborn is in ruins. The origins, Fae, Humans, Shifters, Mages, Wolves and Vampires come to Heir Academy to see if they have the will, strength and capability to become the next savior for the kingdom. This is the first book I've read from K.C. Kean and I'm left feeling, WTF!! It was a great read and I couldn't get enough. I will be diving into the second book of this series, I can't wrap what I just finished, I need to know more!

A phenomenal read
Format: Kindle
"The Kingdom of Ruin" by K.C. Kean is a fantasy novel that delves into a world of betrayal, downfall, and the quest for power and restoration. The story revolves around a once prosperous Kingdom that has fallen into ruin due to poisonous schemes and betrayal, leading to a time of lawlessness and disarray. The narrative unfolds sixteen years after the fall of the Kingdom, with The Council determined to find an heir who can unite the land and restore its former glory. This sets the stage for the Heir Academy, a challenging trial designed to identify the Kingdom's savior among the diverse species vying for the throne. The protagonist of the story is driven by a fierce determination to claim the crown and restore the Kingdom to its rightful state. Their ambition and resolve to overcome any obstacle or adversary in their path add a layer of intrigue and suspense to the plot. The themes of power, ambition, and redemption seem central to the storyline, promising a gripping and immersive read for fans of fantasy fiction. The concept of different species converging to compete for the crown adds an element of competition and complexity to the narrative, setting the stage for political intrigue and strategic maneuvering. Overall, "The Kingdom of Ruin" appears to offer a compelling blend of fantasy, betrayal, and the quest for power, making it a promising read for those who enjoy immersive and engaging fantasy worlds.
