Breaking the rules Part II

Prior to this post, i mentioned about breaking the rules, this time round, i have 3 different artist that  broke the rule, or somewhat change the perspective of how people think things should be.

There are many rules in things we do,and this common rules somehow became part of our daily lives and in time,into something that people would never think of doing.

The first person that i look up to for such people who changed the perception of men's fashion is Kwon Ji-Yong also known as G-Dragon. He is very well known in the K-POP industry for being a fashionista. He's ability to cross dress and yet look ridiculously cool always impress the public. 

"Very loyal to the brands he wears,Balmain head to toe, or Givenchy head to toe, or Dior. He’s like a rock star." 

If you mentioned spike shoes, the first image that would appear in a person's mind would be cleats or maybe track shoes. This spikes acts as a form of traction for the runner on the synthetic polyurethane  track. Having it screwed in the outsole of the cleats,it gives the runner more grip as the spikes would pierce through the synthetic ground and hold firm without losing grip. This would reduce the chances of the runner from slipping while sprinting at high speed.

However, who would have thought that spikes on cleats should not only serve as a single purpose, one designer did. His name was Mr Christian Louboutin. Christian Louboutin is well known for their exclusive designer shoes in red sole. In 2011, Christian Louboutin started his line of men's footwear. That was when he made a shoe with spikes all over it. This particular model is called the Pik Pik

In my point of view, i think that Christian Louboutin made a right decision on putting spikes all over the shoe. The genuine leather and unique studs outshines the shoe among the rest.  This is a brilliant example of breaking the rules in design. 

The last designer that I'm going to talk about is Sir James Dyson.
Sir James Dyson created a 'blade less fan' that blows air from a ring with no external blades. Its blades are actually hidden in its base. This invention shook many and people found it very cool.  Dyson claims that it's blade less fans produce a more constant airflow than traditional fans. 

From the above picture, you can observe that the fan is actually designed to look like a ring. More of the turbine engine of a plane . The air is drawn in by a fan in the base and then directed up into a ring. It comes out of a crack all around the ring and passes over it. It is said that The air is drawn in by a fan in the base and then directed up into a ring. It comes out of a crack all around the ring and passes over

It is said that the Dyson fan produces more constant airflow than the regular fans. Due to its advantage in terms of aesthetics qualities and capabilities, there was an increase in demand. Thus, the Chinese companies created the same fan however selling it at a price way lower than Dyson. Dyson went on to sue the Chinese companies however it failed as the law states that you cannot patent a design that has already been created. It was believed that Toshiba had already created it in 1981. * Given source was from wikipedia . Dyson fan was one of the popular inventions ever created and it is unique as it somehow broke the laws of design and functionality. Who would have thought that a fan could still work 'without a blade' ?
