Kia…when small meets style
Last Sunday I was kindly invited to discover and test the new Kia Picanto. First question : Why am I talking about a low cost car ? Well this blog is called good taste factory. Not rich taste factory. Second question : Do you I have my license ? No. So what ? I did’nt drive but still felt the roar that came out of the engine. I admit I focused more on the aesthetics of the little beast rather that the driving.

Toys: Olympus x Air Jordan III
If your wondering if your next purchase should be a fresh pair of Air Jordan III (The dopest of them all) or a bridge camera well designer James of Hong Kong sought out inspirations from some unlikely origins by combining both and just solved an unlikely equation. The outcome is fantastic, the colors work perfectly, and the elephant skin pattern is painted onto the toy giving that extra luxury vibe to it. With both OG colorways to come out this year, these customized OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2 are just the perfect complements. Hit the switch for a more detailed look.

Porsche: 1 million $ calendar
I should of probably called this article ” Porsche Design does something cool” but i figured my title would get straight to the point. Expensive ? Not so much if you consider the german motorist kicked in an 8 meter yacht. That’s one advent calendar you’re not going to get fat on. Let’s see what else is in there after the jump.

Jeff Koons Exhibition in Paris
If not the most renowned at least the most expensive living artist, Jeff Koons is back in Paris for a Solo exhibition. Galerie Jerome de Noirmont, will be holding the “Popey Sculpture” series in echo to his 1997 appearance in the whimscally curated place. Most of us have seen the pictures of the lookalike inflatable alluminum pool balloons, the animal sculptures, it’s always great to be able to go and get a glimpse to the real deal. If you’ve missed out on Koons at Versailles do walk in the Parisian Gallery. The show will be running through november 20th.

Kaws opens a bottle
The infamous Kaws is now about to collaborate with mexican cervasa (understand beer) Dos Equis. Although the artist is helping out on many projects he had to go with the double X drink. No word on where the bottle will be on sale, but most likely only in Mexico. All I got is the name tag right above.

Louis V x Damien Hirst: Making of art.
For the 150th anniversary of the red cross (+) Louis Vuitton and Damien Hirst teamed up to create a medical cabinet (rather symbolic more than actualy practical). The cabinet is a beautiful black cowhide leather medical trunk lined with blue microfiber and filled with actual surgical instruments. The black cowhide leather upper is decorated with butterfly prints also spotted on the TREK bicycle Hirst created for Lance Armstrong for Tour de France this past summer.
While we never really get to witness genius in the making, LV just realesed a Photo shoot detailing every step of Hirst creative process. If you like art, if you like fashion if you’re just curious take the time to look at these pic’s. We don’t get to see much of these everyday.
How much ? 70 000$
Where ? God knows
