There were a couple of interesting news articles on UnBeige this week.
First, UnBeige comments on a video interview from Fast Company magazine featuring the famous French designer Philippe Stark, who has been recently in the news for his upcoming reality TV show, titled, "Philippe Stark's School of Design" which is slated to air on BBC later this year. The show will run in six one-hour episodes, and starts with 25 designers who will compete for 10 spots in a design course in Paris over the length of the show. At least one of those 10 finalists will earn a six-month "placement" at Stark's design agency in Paris, according to www.brandrepublic.com. The story, which UnBeige reported on before this latest entry, (Jan. 18 & Jan 26) takes a humorous twist in its third installment, as UnBeige finds a video produced by Fast Company magazine. In the video Stark is being interviewed about his latest project, a set of stereo speakers designed for a French wireless technology company called Parrot. This video was just fun to watch.

Second, on a sadder note, while most of us were in Iowa on Friday, it was reported on UnBeige that Fabien Baron and Karl Temple are leaving Interview magazine. UnBeige reported on the news from WWDMedia, who initially confirmed the departures with the magazine's publisher, Brant Publications, Inc. The magazine was founded by Andy Warhol in 1969.
