It’s amazing what we can make stuff out of these days. Dutch company Kazmok, for instance, makes an entire bag range — such as briefcases, travel bags and even iPad sleeves — out of rubbery conveyor belts. The materials are sourced from the flower industry, postal depots, distribution centers and the recycling industry.

These days I’m seeing quite a few decidedly non-hipster folks in red trousers, but wearing these without a ounce of irony. The slightly rude sounding site Look At My Fucking Red Trousers — self-described as “a collection of photographs in celebration of the vibrant and burgeoning red-trousered communities of London and elsewhere” — really say [...]

A fashion label that doesn’t give a hoot about fashion? You heard right. New Sydney design collective Eager & Vane certainly don’t. They are creating wild and outlandish silk scarves in joyous prints with surrealist motifs for the oblivious trendsetter: scarves that make the wearer feel as individual and special as their designs.

3D printed clothing is a very nifty idea. But let’s face it, it usually ends up bearing an unfortunate resemblance to a science fair project. But throw in Dita Von Teese and 3D printed fashion becomes the sexiest thing around. Designed on an iPad and printed as 3,000 tiny individual parts, this dress is the first fluid, curve hugging 3D printed dress to grace a woman’s body.

I’m usually not big into recycled jewelry, but these crystal pieces that won the Inhabitat’s Spring Greening contest are pretty clever. Though a lot of recycled material jewelry has an unfortunate resemblance to the trash it was up-cycled from, these crystal earrings bear very little resemblance to the CD jewel cases they began life as. This is some of the most successful [...]

These dresses take concept of ‘bodycon’ dressing to a whole new level. Hérve Léger has nothing on these sculptural outfits. Chromat Garments is a fashion line born of architecture and urban design. Each piece acts almost as an exo-skeleton or scaffolding around the human body. As a result, the dresses turn your body into a sculpture on display. Each dress [...]

UK brand Ciaté has released the Chalkboard Manicure kit which comes with matte black nail polish to make an honest chalkboard out of any fingernail. You won’t have to suffer chalk remorse either — even the chalk is thoughtfully water-soluble so you can wipe your designs away without messing with the base coat.

It’s a means of empowering Indian women who have been rescued from forced prostitution. Instead of just rescuing the girls and then leaving [...]

This Jimmy Choo commissioned short animation is directed and illustrated by Jo Ratcliffe, in collaboration with artist Rob Pruitt. Pruitt says: ‘I think there is a certain amount of role-playing fantasy that goes [...]
