Caught the art bug? In this issue Frame speaks with Rei Kawakubo about het new Dover Street Mark Ginza, where brand names are banned and the shopping experience places as much emphasis on culture as consumerism. Frame visits a cash-strapped but creative house in Belgium (by De Vylder Vinck Tillieu Architects) and a shrine to Savile Row in Singapore (by Upstairs). In Tel Aviv Frame checks out the low-budget design scene of a city that's as complex as it is creative. Frame finishes it off with three meals at London's newest 'temporary' restaurants, which represent the changing face of the UK capital's dining scene.
