Speedo LZR Racer Student Collaboration Video
For some unknown technological glitch, I was unable to embed the video in my previous post. Here it is now for your personal enjoyment.
Cheers!
Upcycling Speedo LZR Racer
An incredible demonstration of ingenuity, creativity and green mentality. Taking the obsolete Speedo LZR racer (the open piece swimsuit Michael Phelps to break his own world record) and upcycling it into cutting edge fashion for all occasions.
Fantastic. Here's a link to the video!
Will these designs ever hit the racks? Who knows. To see some of the pictures from the photo shoot, check out this article by Jasmin M. Chua of Ecouterre.
Cheers!

Catalytic Clothing - to help us breathe more beautifully
Born from the collaboration of the University of Sheffield, London College of Fashion and the University of Ulster, this dress made from sprayed concrete and "purifying technology" is part of a larger project, one to raise public awareness towards the science of Environmental Pollution.
This textile sculpture is called "Herself" ans as you can read on the wall behind it, is part of a long term and pioneering project to explore how textiles might purify the air by removing certain environmental pollutants. The concept at this stage is still highly experimental. Their slogan, however, is on point: "...So That We Can Breathe More Beautifully".
Cheers!
