I'm not going to go into all the various things that Philippe Starck has designed, or how they are beautiful, functional, and innovative. You can figure all of that out for yourself by looking at his website. There is nothing the man can't design better than everyone else.
I still remember the day that B-Mac introduced me to the design of Mr. Starck. We were at Target and she was fawning over some of the kitchen utensils that he had designed for them. I think she in fact bought a dish drainer of his. After that it was like when you hear a word for the first time and then you hear it everywhere. I saw his design everywhere. And he was designing everything from the buildings and what could go in them to what the people living their could wear or use in their everyday lives. The scope of his work is pretty ridiculous and it gets better with each design.
I went into all the things I said I wouldn't. I really just wanted to mention this watch designed by Starck for Fossil. It's simple, clean, and represents the style that Starck has cultivated over the years. At $95 it's well out of my price range, and I don't wear watches anyway, but I always love to see a design that makes me stop and stare. Well done, Philippe. Now design some letters out of your name.
Here's where to buy the watch

And here's where you can learn too much about him
