ALAS: a sleepwear label by Betony and Kelly
ALAS is a sleepwear label from two clever lasses Betony and Kelly. Mindful of our precious environment their philosohy is rather zen and based on sustainability. Their gorgeous pajamas are 100 percent organic cotton and are fair trade accredited, too.
The acronym, All Light All Shadow, represents this nature of change: day to night, sleeping to waking. All of the prints and colour schemes in the ALAS collections are created by the designers to reflect these inspirations, producing vivid and unique garments to keep you company in the night time. The designs themselves have been thoughtfully constructed to be both comfortable and of a simple, graceful style. The carefully selected organic fabrics are soft to the touch and always breathable.

When I did the Master Cleanse diet a few years ago — the one where you consume nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for ten days — I sat at work looking at pictures of food as if they were porn. Scanwiches would have gotten me hot and bothered like nothing else.
Starting off as a music blog, and recently reaching to the world through their online radio, etm.fm focuses on music that does not receive commercial attention from radio stations in South Africa. The site has only been running since February 2011 and the station since January 2012. But it’s all growing in audience very quickly.
The My Town In My Home collection of hand-knitted fashion by Yoshikazu Yamagata and Mafuyu was exhibited at this year’s Amhem Mode Biennale in Amsterdam. Sure gives a new twist to the saying, ‘wherever I lay my hat …’ [see also the Brain Bag by Jun Takahashi]
