Light is the new black and these beautiful dresses are made of nothing more. They are the creations of advertising and art photographer Atton Conrad. He makes the dresses by remotely triggering the camera while painting the light around the model in a blacked-out studio. It’s a shame there’s no way to actually wear these photographic pieces of art.

Among other things, social networks inspire sharing, over-sharing, change, and shoe designs. Designer Lumen Bigott uses social media and ended up incorporating sites like Twitter, Flickr, You Tube, and more into fashionable Keds. Each pair has a different theme and feature an image that ties the sneakers to a certain website. Bigott says:
I’m a big fan of inspiration blogs, I also spend a lot of time in social networks and I love fashion: those three things are responsible of this shoes collection. The idea was to find the most important graphic elements of my favorite social networks and apply them to my favorite pair of shoes trying to keeping alive the essence of each brand.

It’s Australian Fashion Week, and designers Romance Was Born have kicked it off with a superheroic line up of outfits. The collection was sponsored by Marvel, and the glamorous dresses glitter with comic book influences – literally in some cases. The line mixes comics with high fashion and includes a variety of textures and patterns reminiscent of your favorite heroes—including the Avengers.
You’ll spot Jack Kirby’s Kirby Krackle as a dress, and you can see the imprint of his creations across the designs (hopefully the Kirby family is having more luck getting credit for these designs than they are for certain characters appearing in certain blockbuster movies). These bold looks are definitely too much for everyday, but they serve as a reminder that comics can indeed be very chic.

It has to be challenging to come up with a dress or fashion design that has never been seen before. Victor Farentina has managed to do it though. He took inspiration from sites like YouTube, Google, Yahoo, MSN, and more and translated them to dress form. He used the colors from the sites or logos and developed that into beautiful, wearable art. It admittedly sounds like a bizarre idea, but it works! I’d be glad to wear any of these.
I wonder if we’ll see one or two of them at an award show in the near future.

Kudos to designer Dave Rittinger for coming up with a creative way to bring attention to environmental causes with these Zero Footprint Leaf Series shirts—but if we all have to dress like the Green Giant the Earth is screwed.

From That’s Nerdalicious!: Learn the layers of planet beef from its sesame seed crust, down through the onion and lettuce layers all the way to its cow core. However, as we’ve recently seen, the thickness of these layers can vary depending on which burger joint you inhabit.
If you would like to see this t-shirt design become available, you can help vote it into being at Threadless.

If you want to give your helmet some personality, why not choose from one of these designs that can make your head look like, among other things, a giant brain, watermelon, peanut, a boob with a pierced nipple, an ass, a variety of balls, and of course, other heads. One design that’s not there? A penis. Because nobody wants to be referred to as a literal dickhead. Check out some additional designs after the break.
Clever. It would be interesting to see if your fellow design nerds pick up on the reference. Of course, in order to find out the shirt would have to actually make it to print. So, if you dig it, make sure to vote it up on Threadless.

If Star Wars was a fashion show, the entire Rebellion would have started from a backstage catfight over pants. All of the other models would whisper “Vader is such a bitch, but he really knows how to work it in black.”
Actually, this is a series of paintings created by John Woo (no, not the director thank God) depicting Star Wars characters wearing stylish labels.
Vannen’s line of urban art watches just got weirder with the launch of the Series II collection of wrist monsters. Check out the gallery after the break for more info on the new designs.
