Attention Halo Nation, “Halo: Combat Evolved” is in the World Video Game Hall of Fame. The science fiction shooter game that enthralled a legion of fans after its 2001 launch with the Xbox system is one of four games to be inducted into the hall Thursday. “Donkey Kong,” ”Pokemon Red and Green” and “Street Fighter II” round out the young hall’s third class of honorees. All will be on permanent display at The Strong museum in Rochester, New York, where the hall of fame was established in 2015 to recognize an industry that the Entertainment Software Association said generated $30.4 billion in revenue in the U.S. last year.
Hourani's Fall 2011 collection is everything the label does best --androgynous, conceptual, futuristic -- with an injection of richness this time.
It's as if Rad by Rad Hourani presents a conceptual world eons from now in which the banal distinctions of gender and embellisment have melted away to leave the clean, colorless sculpture of the label's garments.
However, with fall 2011 comes a hint of the world as we know it that has been: Charcoal gray fleece lends a sign of the reality of winter days in pieced-together luxurious layers arranged on top of one another in backwards-facing, architectural blossoms.
Amidst these punctuations of almost cozy appeal were Rad signatures, including black tights, leather and square-bodice skeletons for male-female-hybrid tunics, coats, tops and pants. Styling, of course, was all icy slick.
