The new company Bio-Couture is taking green fashion one step beyond reusable tote bags – they take a “hardening ooze” created by yeast, bacteria and green tea and use it to make a kind of fiber. That fiber, ultimately, can make clothes, like the jackets featured at left. Foodstuffs like port wine, curry powder, cherries, and beetroot are used for dyes.

You can follow the process on Bio-Couture’s website, and if you live in London or are planning a trip there in the next few months, some of their creations are featured in the London Science Museum’s “Trash Fashion”exhibit! Talk about eco-friendly! We *heart*! :)

Are we the only ones that think this is scary, unnecessary, and just gross? I, for one, am a firm believer in: "Be grateful for what God blessed you with." No skin tone/color is better than another, and in the end, no matter what type of cosmetic surgery you have, your genes will NEVER change. The day you have kids they will represent the REAL way you look (or used to look...or whatever) because that's just the way DNA works, people. Ok, just had to vent. Here is the story:

Skincare group Vaseline has introduced a skin-lightening application for Facebook in India, enabling users to make their skin whiter in their profile pictures.The download is designed to promote Vaseline's range of skin-lightening creams for men, a huge and fast-growing market driven by fashion and a cultural preference for fairer skin.

The widget promises to "transform your face on Facebook with Vaseline Men" in a campaign fronted by Bollywood actor Shahid Kapur, who is depicted with his face divided into dark and fair halves.

Reps for the couple confirm that the Spanish duo wed in a top-secret ceremony held earlier this month in the Bahamas. Though the guest list may have been limited to family & close friends, and though details are still scarce at this time, we know that the 36-year-old bride didn't think twice about having her close friend (Christian Dior designer) John Galliano design her wedding gown! Lucky, lucky woman (and Javier is a lucky man)!

Hopefully, a photo of her fabulous gown will circulate around the net very soon! We're confident Mr. & Mrs. Bardem looked "caliente" as they always do in all their red carpet events! Congrats to the lovely couple! :)

Sweet Hello Kitty will be purring her way into British retailer Marks & Spencer at the end of this month. I'm sure many of us are hoping she makes it to the shops in Kuwait :)

Some of the items arriving will be Hello Kitty cosmetics, lip balms, lip glosses, shower caps, and I'm assuming many other things!

...aaaaaand NOT is the answer!

Unclear whether joke or tribute, this designer-inspired (???) house dubbed Casa de Louis Vuitton sits in Mexicali, and it has definitely succeeded in drawing international attention (hmmm we wonder why...)!

I can somehow imagine something like this popping up in Kuwait sometime in the future-- maybe to match the LV cars we have roaming around town! :)
