Google Introduces AI Based Virtual Try-On Apparel

Google has just announced a new virtual shopping experience for search which lets you try on apparel virtually using some AI cleverness.

The service is starting with a limited number of brands including Anthropologie, Everlane, H&M and LOFT, and a limited repertoire of AI generated lady’s tops. Virtual shopping…

EMF Radiation Blocking Hoodie Keeps You Safe. Maybe.

This EMF Radiation Blocking Hoodie from Bon Charge looks like it’s just the ticket for these warm winter nights. And when we say warm, you know we’re not just referring to the temperature, right?

MoEa – sneakers made from fruit offer a low carbon alternative to leather and plastic

Cool footwear is not so much a fashion thing, more a religion. Which is probably why so many eco shoe projects end up failing miserably. This latest effort, from international company Mother of Earth (MoEa) may buck the trend. Their MoEa Sneakers are apparently crafted from only the finest fruit and vegetables. Not sure whether they’re organic (artf!), but we applaud the concept wholeheartedly.

Returns Sent to Landfill – new report shows that companies are trashing clothes rather than reselling

If you buy clothing online, you’ve probably, at least once, picked up multiple sizes in one item to check the fit and sent the ones that didn’t work out back to the store. That’s fine right? Well, turns out when you do that chances are those items go right into the dumpster rather than back into circulation.

Upcylced Runway – show takes aim at the waste in the fashion industry

Fashion is a major contributor to waste and pollution. It’s not just old clothing ending up in landfills, it’s also the textile manufacturing process.

Tzukuri – the first sunglasses which you can’t lose

Almost everyone has had that moment when they’ve managed to leave behind a perfect pair of sunglasses. On a chair, table, bus, taxi, club or grassy knoll. Sunglasses never ever seem to break, they just disappear. As if their time with you is over and they’re on to brighter horizons. We think it’s some kind of a conspiracy with odd socks, but that’s probably a story best left to another time. It’s more likely you just forgot them in a…

Narwhal USB Heated Plush Slippers – beating back cold weather, one cute foot at a time

The news has already started reporting on the second coming of the Polar Vortex for 2015. It’s October, so it isn’t too far away. I’m getting chills just thinking about it, and not good chills either. These are chills of fear and phantom cold.
