THAKOON ADDITION | PRE-FALL 2012

Youthful and wearable looks fill Thakoon Addition’s pre fall 2012 collection where he provides the perfect wardrobe for a “flirty, cheeky military girl” as he calls it. The designers secondary line took silhouette cues from the designers’ main collection, inflating many pieces with a soft volume. Thakoon explored fun, flirtatious jumpsuits, lightweight anoraks, and flower-camouflage trousers.

In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.

The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.

The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy — and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.

Here’s an unexpected take on diamond earrings: These guys are teensy (as is most of Blanca Monrós Gómez’s delicate jewelry), and they feature black diamonds set upside-down, giving them an ever-so-slightly subversive effect. The yellow-gold settings? Now those are straight-up classic. —erica
