These are the latest collaboration between female streetwear label Hellz Bellz and Casio. Using the classic Baby-G platform, it is much smaller compared to their brother G-Shock. Both designs uses bright colours and playful elements, very much like an 80’s inspired design. I saw these babies during the previous Shock the World Tour in Kuala Lumpur.

As many of you ladies know, Swatch has indeed worked with many artist and fashion designers. As posted previously, the Swatch & Art Collection worked with many renowned artists like Enki Bilal, Ivan Navarro, Manish Arora and Cassette Playa (featured earlier).
Chile born Ivan Navarro uses alot of fluorescent lights and mirrors which creates effects of infinite reflection. “His works offer a meditation on themes such as death and disappearance, resistance and persistence through memory. A widely admired and prolific artist, his work was on prominent display at the most recent Venice Biennale (2009).”
Not forgetting our beloved London borned Miss Carrie Munden. “Her future designs translate sci fi dreams to graphic prints and luxury street and sportswear. Nominated for British Menswear designer of the year, Munden carries her name and colourful clothing to the trendiest boutiques in the world’s top fashion cities.”
Belgrad boy Enki Bilal is best known for his graphic novels and short stories for adults including the Nikipol trilogy, which took ten years to complete, and the Hatzfeld series of four books dealing with the break-up of Yugoslavia. He has also won broad acclaim as a film director.
Last, our Asian Indian artist Manish Arora known for working with high-contrast colours and Indian inspired shapes. “For Swatch he has created the Manish Arora Collection, and to the Swatch & Art Collection he contributes an exuberant example of his irrepressible creative spirit.”
