Something Fishy at Unnurwear?!

Posted: 01 Oct 2009 05:39 PM PDT

So what do you get when you couple an Icelandic salmon with an African perch?

No, not tasty fish n' chips!

You get Unnurwear bags and accessories!

"Unnur" means 'waves of the ocean' in Icelandic, so no wonder the bags are made from sea-leather; in other words—fish!

Since 2006, the Icelandic company Unnurwear has been contributing to sustainable design by creating high quality handbags and accessories from farm-raised fish, and without endangering any species.

What's interesting about sea-leather is that it smells like regular leather and the more it is worn, the better it looks!

So why not take the plunge?! Unnurwear—the global conscious accessories!

The African Finch, Now Playing at Theatre de la Mode

Posted: 01 Oct 2009 11:11 AM PDT

Last week, Theatre de la Mode alighted on the perch of London Fashion Week, flapping the wings of its 2010 spring/summer collection in all the bright plumage of citrus orange, deep water coral, and sunny tangerine.

Designer Christopher Kelly remarks "the silhouette of gentleman's lounge wear is one of ease and boxed drape that fit the mood of Theatre de la Mode."

Chris drew his inspiration from the African finch, which he applied to the leisure wear of the 1930's. He conceived the idea when his eyes were drawn to the hand-painted sign of a pet shop, the star of which was an African finch.

Since true finches are seed-eating songbirds, why not sit pack with a healthy sunflower snack and, flipping through the photo gallery, listen the melodic chirps and coos of the African finch.
