2009 was the year that Phoebe Philo, the designer who made Chloe call again, unveiled her work at Celine. Did you see it? If not, um, maybe you should be reading something else. One of the women who defined the entire look of the year!

Lily keeps saying she’s going to retire from the public eye for a while, so we hope you made the most of looking at her, and her amazing style, throughout 2009! We love that she has a real understanding of, and love for, fashion, and it’s not about showing off.

It’s rare for a young actress to have such effortless, unused over style when they’ve got the whole of Hollywood clamouring after them. Our number 12 managed to do that amazingly in 2009, and she is set to take it to the next level in 2010. Her first project of the year is [...]

Loud Objects Noise Toy
Nick Hasty is Rhizome’s Director of Technology
Here’s my top 5 list of DIY audio art kits to keep you busy in 2010.
► Arduinome
Open source, Arduino-based version of the monome controller interface that utilizes usb midi and open sound control. Great for controlling instruments, installations, and performances.
► Casper Electronics Drone Lab
Peter Edwards’ Drone Lab is a 4 voice analog drone synth, rhythm generator and FX processor. A great kit from one of the kings of circuit bending.
► Loud Objects Kit
Simple but powerful kit from the Loud Objects performance group. You can easily integrate your own code to write new low-bit jams.
► Triwave Picogenerator and other assorted kits by 4ms
4ms has been making a wide variety of wonderful and novel instruments for nearly 15 years. These guys are pros and extremely nice to boot.
► the x0xb0x
Open-source version of the Roland TB-303. What more could you ask for?

We asked our number 15, Pixie Geldof how she felt about being classed as one of our most stylish and she said: “A recent experience in Starbucks. Strange woman comes up to me: ‘Oh you’ve made a few fashion blunders recently’. Me: ‘Sorry’. ” Ummm, good one woman in Starbucks. Pixie’s style is amazing because [...]

This was Lady Gaga last year at Webster Hall. Pretty much the start of her career hype…
But don’t worry, you can celebrate New Year’s Eve with the Gaga monster tonight, poolside at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami.
Lady Gaga tweeted “Two shows, about 13 outfits, 15,000 little monsters, and sticky champagne, and I don’t care if [...]

My god, can we please put this recession-wrought year out of its (and our) misery? Not that 2009 didn’t have its pleasures, especially when it came to film, as it was a fruitful year for the cinema. My own New Year’s resolution for 2010âagain, when it comes to filmâis about the same as it was last year. I’m going to strive to be progressive, pragmatic and curatorial as a critic, innovative as a distributor, and motivated enough to write and direct a second feature. I thought it might be fun to ask fellow members of the film community to share their own pledges for 2010, and was excited that less than 24 hours’ notice yielded responses from over 40 filmmakers, critics, distributors, publicists, and other noteworthy voices. Be safe tonight, friends… Nah, screw that. Get into some trouble, try something radical, and let’s shake things up in the new year.

Régine Debatty is the founder and editor of the art, design and technology blog we make money not art. She also writes for several European design and art magazines, curates, and speaks about art and technology at various conferences and festivals.
For this list, Régine pulled together her favorite PDF-based resources from the past year.
► Manipulating Reality
To be honest i won’t see this one until early January but Strozzina always organizes great shows that integrate tech and non tech-based artworks. Plus, they upload all the essays of their catalogs online.
► Awake Are Only the Spirits
Reason 1: HMKV in ugly Dortmund has the most exciting program of exhibitions and events in Europe. Reason 2 can be summed up in 3 words: Supernatural and technology. Reason 3: The PDF of the exhibition guide is online.
► LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Centre’s press dossiers
Laboral is located in a tiny city in Northern Spain, the closest airport offers about one to two international flights. But the press dossiers of its exhibitions make up for Laboral’s deficiency in plane connections. They are available as PDF and are so informative, I sometimes confuse them with the real catalogues.
► Fashion-able. Hacktivism and engaged fashion design
Otto von Busch (the only man I’ve ever met who is more elegant than Audrey Hepburn)’s brilliant thesis is from 2008, but he kindly put it online a few months ago.
► Brody Condon – Known Planes of Existence
I fell in love with Brody Condon’s video game take on religious Medieval paintings at the LOOP video art fair in Barcelona. Brody Condon – Known Planes of Existence, a small catalog about his work is waiting for your click over here:
