When I saw this pair of Juicy Couture ear muff headphones, I knew I needed to DIY a set. I ended up making two, with requests for many more. BTW, I live in LA so hopefully you can see the irony in this. 

My first version was created with off-the-shelf headband and faux fur. With the second pair, I decided to make it a bit more "rock and roll." I dyed my own fabric and designed the headband using leather and spikes I had lying around the studio. 

This project is pretty addictive. It's super easy to make and you can style your ear muff headphones in so many different ways! They also make great gifts. 

The great part of this design is that the cord is detachable so the cord will not get in the way when you simply want to use them as ear muffs. …

Adding to their collection of playful hydrochromic ink umbrellas, SquidLondon has introduced a rainwear collection of three color changing jackets. These lovely coats will make you want to splash in puddles and dance in the rain!

When dry, the coats are monochromatic in color with white flower motifs. When exposed to rain, the garments blossom into a lovely array of colors.

First pitched by inventor Fredrik Lundqvist, MD on a Swedish reality show Dragon’s Den, Elektrodress has received 2 million SEK (about 300 K US) for research funding. The electrode suit is designed for individuals suffering from Multiple Scelerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Parksinon's and various other nerve disorders. 

The basic idea behind the wearable rehabilitative suit is that the electrodes can provide electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) and vibration therapy to help the body relax, increase movement and ultimately function better. 

I'm delighted to see funding for wearable technology projects that have the ability to improve millions of lives.

Iris Van Herpen's vision of an earthy, techno-futurism translates into sensuous, otherworldly forms that push the boundaries of construction, materially and couture itself. 

It is Van Herpen's ingenious use of technology combined with master craftsmanship that give her garments their deceptively organic feel. 

The show opened with her signature exoskeleton dress, this time made from hundreds of iridescent semi-circular pieces of plexiglas, modeled first on a computer, and later number-coded and hand-stitched onto the garment.
