Subscription Undies

Subscription Undies

I’ve been trying out this new service called MeUndies – a subscription based underwear delivery service. Let’s just assume you change your undies at least once a day. So unless you have 30+ pairs or constantly do laundry or supplement with a few days going commando (kinky), then you’re gonna need some more undies. Although the service does allow you to buy a la carte, you get 20% off per pair by subscribing. That’s $16 a month to get one pair of undies tailored to your style/color preferences shipped direct. But are they any good? Hit the jump.

FILA X NOOKA by Matthew Waldman

FILA X NOOKA by Matthew Waldman

Our boy Matt Waldman is doing big thangs y’all. Like for serious. His latest project is a collab with Fila on a capsule footwear collection sure to please all futurists. With an eye always towards the future, Matt figures there no better physical metaphor than our feet. They literally propel us physically into the future one step at a time – that is unless you find a wormhole because then you kinda just fall in and end up god knows where. Love this collection. Let me say that again, LOVE IT. As of now looks like it’s only available in Asia.

Maternity Clothes With A Difference

Maternity Clothes With A Difference

We are not speaking about the fashion angle here, but the possibility of wearing the same set of clothes pre, during and post pregnancy! Sounds magical but designer Rita seems to be onto something big, Dior – I hope you are listening, apparently she chose two different materials, one in ivory color, which had resistance fibers when washed in high temperature. And the other was a black material, which had shrinking fibers when washed in high temperature. Combining the two in the belly area in a knitted fashion, resulted in this amazing top!

FINALLY! A Flat Pack Mannequin

FINALLY! A Flat Pack Mannequin

Besides chuckling every time I see a naked mannequin, I wonder, “where the heck does anyone have room to keep those awkward things?” Industrial design hot house, Arash and Kelly Studio, saw the potential for improvement, so they developed ZiPP, a flat pack, zip-able mannequin that provides a low cost, no bulk solution for displaying items. The bust, waist, & full length figures are made of lightweight, semitransparent polypropelene; perfect for trade shows, new launches, or retail window displays.

Biodegradable Footwear

Biodegradable Footwear

For those looking to put a little eco-friendliness in their step, the OneMoment shoe by Figtree Factory Studios offers comfort and modern style in this 100% biodegradable unisex slipper. Utilizing a bio-polymer injection process, the biodegradable plastic sole is only 2 mm thick (at least 3 mm less than traditional shoes) and the top portion is only 1mm thick. It only takes 6 months in the ground before 01M is 80% composted, so if they ever wear out you can guiltlessly leave them behind. Did I mention they’re only 5 euros per pair?

Moire Seconds

Moire Seconds

This watch concept by designer Zoltan B. Kecskemeti gets it’s name from the moire animation style that it uses to create the illusion that the image on the face is changing. The mask replaces the second hand and gradually reveals different parts of the clock face as time passes. Clock faces come in the form of a blinking kitty, roman to arabic numerals, or my personal favorite- the beating heart.

Just Do It, Yourself

Just Do It, Yourself

The Creo Shoe Concept focuses on user integration by allowing the wearer to become a part of the production process.  The footbeds, shoelaces, outer soles, and sewing pattern are sent to the user in a leather envelope that doubles as the inner part of the shoe. I am all for anything DIY or that supports local commerce and I love that the wearer can stitch the inner shoe themselves or hand it over to a local shoemaker for tailoring. The Creo’s real value is knowing exactly where it came from.

The Truth Inside Design Objects

The Truth Inside Design Objects

I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for objects that transform from one thing into a completely different thing. Transformers, if you will. Designer Rohan Chhabra has a few objects that do that, and not only that, they’ve got some philosophy behind them too. This set of objects goes by the name “Embodying Ethics.” You’ll find yourself getting emotional witnessing the change between a pair a pants a cow leg. For real.

Hermes Auto Feet

Hermes Auto Feet

The Hermes X is designed to be cross training shoes that will last you for a very long time. Its been conceptualized with body made out of Kevlar and the sole made out of natural and synthetic rubber. Although Kevlar has many applications ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio, it’s the first time I’m hearing of it being considered for shoes. Moving on, the inner part is single unit injected foam, which can be replaced if necessary. Needless to say, Omer turned to the auto industry for his inspiration!

Japanese Wooden Sandal Update

Japanese Wooden Sandal Update

They don’t have rockets, they don’t transform into anything, and no, they do not have ice skates pop out the bottom of them.* What they DO have is a couple lovely innovations that designer Silvialy Tjhin was ever-so-thoughtful to include. Silvialy Tjhin created these in a class whilst at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where in a Methods & Materials class, was going through a lesson on woodworking machines, and Tjhin, being an ever-so-clever utilitarian, created a pair of shoes.
