Condom Couture

Yes Rockstars.. You read this right! CONDOM COUTURE


This is an Upcycled Wear your Safe Sex Revolution....



Emma Kaywin, a New York University design student, upcycled donated contraceptives that had passed their sell by date into "one of a" condom couture.

These creations were displayed as part of the NYU Gallatin School’s eco Fashion Week.

These condoms not only contributed to her design project, they were not thrown into the landfill which  brought attention to the environment, birth control, and the AIDS prevention organization that donated them.


A+ For Creativity!

Dior Rocks it Vintage Style



Christian Dior's 57th Street boutique rocks  out their image of a vintage sewing atelier with huge black & white photographs of women sewing and working with patterns and dress forms. 


These Dress forms and fabric drape the window in front while displaying Dior's long history for quality handcrafted craftsmanship. A single, exquisite embellished purple dress looks out the window showing the final crafted prize. 




Vintage hat boxes and modern shoe boxes are arranged around the scene of the window with Dior's shoes and handbags shine like the superstars they are . 




Isn't the message of this window clear?  Craftsmanship=quality=price? Lets get back to the craftsmanship and artistry of clothing!

The Sweetest Jeans on Earth ... Really!


A Japanese company is making jeans out of a blend of sugar cane and selvage denim.

They are Sugar Cane Jeans and are uniquely Japanese denim made from — you guessed it- sugar cane.


 
The cane used is Sweet Sorghum, otherwise known as Sweet Millet. It’s a type of grass grown all over the world for making a molasses-like syrup and animal feed. The Sugarcane jeans that feature this fiber have a faint sweet smell and may have occasional woody tufts poking out of the fabric!

Sugar Cane Jeans used to be a highly guarded Japanese secret but today the brand is attracting global attention. They prefer to use the vintage term “dungarees” in preference to the term “jeans” to describe their product:

Sugar Cane Jeans are cut from original and truly outstanding Japanese selvage denim. Japanese selvage denim is arguably the finest in the world. In simple terms this means that the cross thread goes back and forth during the weaving process.

Ok Where can I my Sugar Fix??

Curtains that ROCK!!

When its cold outside and not much to do YarnZombie makes things...


This Door Cutain is made from old Kodachrome slides and aluminum chainmail rings.

 

How cool is this. The vintage slides are drilled using a Dremel tool and a Dremel tool drillpress. They taped a cardboard jig to the drillpress so the holes wound up in the right place. Then they are connected together with the chainmail rings.

  

Is this Rockin Brilliant or what??

A Throne Fit For a Queen - Freddie Mercury Style





                                    Bored Housewife Throne

The ‘Bored Housewife Throne’ is designed by Walter Raes. This AMAZING chair is made out of everyday household items and recycled materials including an ironing board (for the back), a pair of patent leather knee high stiletto boots for the arms, leather upholstery for the seat and suede boots for the front legs.

The “Throne” is considered by Raes to be wearable art, and not an object for every day use.

He takes the disposable remnants of our everyday lives to create his brilliant pieces, explorations in form and function.

For the Rockstar in you...Wear your minis all Year Long!


The coolest way to turn Your Choos into Boots ...  Rock the SH*T out of them with some stretch leather Thigh Highs from Bootzwalla!

Give your fabulous shoes their very own accessory.  Turn those platform sandals or pumps into Rockin Boots, Stillettos and Short Boots into SEXY Thigh Highs and those Strappy Sandals a warm and fuzzy feeling.

These are the perfect accessory for your mini skirts, dresses, short shorts, leggings, jeans, tunics, blazers, everything.

OK ... so I had to give Bootzwalla a shout out. I actually own 2 pairs of these Bad Boys. 
My first pair were the fuzzy ones... Then I caved for the leather. These are so Badass and have been featured in So You Think You Can Dance,  Full Frontal Fashion, The New York Times, The New York Post, Star Magazine, US, Glamour and Vanity Fair. 
I love them!!
