Ying Cai, CEO & Fashion Designer at YingCai, Inc.

Hello, Everyone! Today's featured Fashion Designer is Ying Cai of New York, New York (USA). 
Ying Cai grew up watching her mother sew, draft patterns, and do sketches for her and her families' whole wardrobe. Another fashion inspiration was her uncle's ownership of a few major clothing manufacturing facilities in south Asia that produce many lines for major designers, all over the world.

At the age of four, Cai started to draw, play music, and dance. At the age of twelve, she started professional ballet training with her coaches from the Kirov Ballet (St. Petersburg). Five years later, Cai was accepted to the Beijing Dance Academy and awarded a scholarship. Cai's nine years of studying dance gave her a great understanding of how to bring out the positive aspects of different body types (with fashion). At the same time, she understood that ballet was not for her.

In 2004, the same year she graduated from college, Ying Cai was granted a fellowship to pursue her Master of Art in the United States. During grad school, she discovered her enormous passion for, and interest in, fashion.  She decided to go to New York before graduation.

Hello, Everyone! Today's features Architect, Paolo Soleri, The Prophet in the Desert.  I learned of Mr. Soleri while updating blog links for this blog.  The video trailer is for the documentary The Vision of Paolo Soleri: Prophet in the Desert, and features this great architect's exceptional accomplishments, which began in the '70s, toward his prophetic foresight of today's state of our world. 

This video, also, gives us a glimpse of Paolo Soleri's agelessness; he was still active toward achieving his goal(s) well into his 90s!  Watch him ride his bike!  Like Mr. Soleri, obviously did, I've set my mind to be totally active, ageless and productive well into my 90s and beyond.  Based on what I've seen so far, I think he is another good example of a long, positively-productive life. 

A few interesting facts about Paolo Soleri are:

Hello, Everyone! Today's featured design is a 'Luxury Cabin Estate' by Locati Architects.  Locati specializes in custom home design with focus on architectural and interior design.  I learned of the Locati Architects firm while viewing images of exquisite luxury cabins for sale, online.

This luxury cabin estate, pictured below, is the Bridger Canyon Residence located in Bozeman, Montana. It is one of the most gorgeous luxury cabins I've seen, online. The cabin was built by Schlauch Bottcher Construction (they do an extraordinary job of taking architectural drawings from rendering to residence; they build dream homes) and photographed by Karl Neumann (his specialty is development/resort projects, advertising, editorial and studio work, as well as commercial and high-end residential photography, as seen below).  Together, these three entities have created exceptional work(s)!

Hello, Everyone! Today's feature is an online 3D modeling tool by Design Within Reach (DWR), utilized for visually arranging/staging furniture and accessories in a home or office. Utilizing the 3D modeling tool should aide in making purchasing decisions of DWR's funiture and accessories.

Once the shopper(s) do that a team of in-house designers convert the blueprints into floorplans that are workable. Then, shoppers/users can alter the colors, textures, patterns and dimensions of walls, windows, doors and floors to resemble their own existing rooms in 2D and 3D (two-dimensions and three-dimensions).

I can imagine the delightful possibilities with this tool. I love, love, love online tools like this! You may enjoy this one, too!
