Adidas has released a video offering a sneak peek at its fashionable and sustainable SLVR Spring/Summer 2012 line with a bit of fencing action. The new adidas SLVR Spring/Summer 2012 campaign, shot by Willy Vanderperre, takes inspiration from the sport of fencing. The precision and elegance of fencing is fused with pop colors for a fresh and vivid visual language. The accuracy of the combat sport, the strict line of the uniform, are suggested through rigid compositions. Images focus on sophisticated, white tailored silhouettes which echo the fencing uniform juxtaposed with bold pop shades of yellow, red and blue. It is...
Vegetarians and vegans have coveted Stella McCartney’s shoes and purses for years, and it’s not just because of her beautiful designs. McCartney doesn’t use a drop of animal skin in her products. That includes fur and leather. Now, just in time for New York fashion week, the designer is speaking out and telling the public why animal lovers should avoid wearing all skins.

That’s something people don’t think about as...

KEN had mentioned that he was interested in converting the gas tank of his car to a vegetable oil friendly tank.

Our conversation caused me to start researching for him. But no boring talk for you kids. Watch this...
