& THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE MY FRIENDS

{Images via ZiadGhanem}

So while in my second home, the university library, I took a break from research for my paper to do a bit of designer research of my own. Obviously one of the current hot

topics right now, and really for the past several years, has been this whole concept of "sustainable" fashion. I think most companies just pretend to care and put out overpriced "organic" lines of cotton and other natural fibers like bamboo (which by the way folks is usually just rayon, so do your research before drop big bucks on green apparel).

Anywho...I came across this article about this insanely rad designer Ziad Ghanem. He's a young Lebanese designer from London who's work I am in awe of. The reason I find him so be so rad is that he has managed to incorporate this concept of green fashion into his high fashion collections. He does this by sourcing luxury fabrics from organic fabrics, rubber and dyes from South America, and using recycled clothes from vintage and consignment shops.

Above are some jaw dropping photos from his past few Couture and Ready to Wear collections. It just goes to show that with creative minds and smart, imaginative ideas, there really is a place for "green" designs in the fashion industry.

BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THINGS WERE COOL

As you may have guessed from the previous video posted, I've got quite the soft spot for the new kids on the block kickin it old school. I think it's real cool when present day artist take me through a musical time warp to the days of actual instruments and vocals. Yes the good ol' days prior to that killjoy autotuner thing (ew).

Mayer Hawthorne is one of those artists. Old school ways with a new school edge. Really dig him right now. And if you're in the Philadelphia area he'll be performing at the First Unitarian Church with Nikki Jean. Should be a good show.

Happy Manic Monday
