Retro-Modern Roundup

April 27, 2016 by Kate Leave a Comment

Point by alvaro Penalta

Today I’m starting a new series on the blog! Each week I find myself wanting share interesting articles, art projects, new products and more. So… I thought I’d round them up and present them to you! In each Retro-Modern Roundup, you will find art, design and entertainment news, as well as links to shops that sell retro-style items (such as clothing and jewelry). Not to mention, I’ll share fun DIY projects in case you’re feeling crafty. Check out the links below at your leisure…

Cool Machine Shop brooches

Art and Design

So many amazing retro-modern treasures at Cool Machine Shop, including brooches!

Check out Point (shown at the top of the post), a project by Álvaro Peñalta, Natxo Ramón and Mariano Bascuñana featuring handmade geometric compositions.

This new Instagram account from ATELIER KOBALT archives crazy ’80s and ’90s fabric patterns.

Plastic Bones offers boldly designed clothing in super-fun motifs…and at affordable prices!

I’m loving Laser Kitten’s collection of ’80s- and ’90s-style enamel pins.

American Psycho

Nostalgia and News

Take this New York Times quiz that tests your knowledge of ’80s references in the new Broadway musical American Psycho.

Things get pretty over the top in this gory ’90s training video on workplace safety, set to a horror movie soundtrack. Not for the faint of heart.

Any Twin Peaks fans out there? Check out the cast list from the new series, premiering on Showtime in 2017!

My cousin Tom wrote a piece titled “Ruminations on Prince” that really touched my heart…

Compartes chocolate packaging

Cool Stuff

Compartes premium chocolate bars are foodie works of art…lots of retro inspiration for the packaging and design!

Love the styling for Paper & Stitch’s Pop Tart Milkshakes shoot.

These DIY Speckled Clay Keychains from Sugar & Cloth have a New Memphis look.

Rainbow prism

In Case You Missed It

This week I shared a tour of my living room.

Mirror80 loves shining the spotlight on ’80s design trends, such as modern lighting statements and pastels.

Each month, I explore the style of a beloved ’80s film. Check out Mirror80’s posts featuring Flashdance and Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Do you have any retro-modern news to share? Leave me a suggestion below, and I’ll try to include it in the next roundup!
