Today I want you to look at how arranged no less progressive head office America OnLine (AOL) in Palo Alto.
Not long ago, AOL started a program for re-branding its online component, but it was the beginning of this office, for which the design studio was invited to O + A. This modern design embodies all the elements of the new AOL – transparency, teamwork, creativity and playfulness – that creates a stimulating environment for staff.
Today i came across a new T-Shirt brand “Octaine Tees” in Pakistan. You might wonder, these guys are really trying to make a different from the already saturated market of Tees. Most brands follow the same trends, same colors, and same designs and even those brands which claim to be original are concocted mutations of ideas from [...] Indian Pakistani Men Magazine » Fashion
Versace caved to pressure to stop selling “killer” sandblasted jeans. Will other brands follow suit?
Blue jeans are getting uglier by the day. Around Christmas last year we wrote about environmental and social hazards associated with the “jeans capital of the world” in China. We’ve since discovered that giving jeans a distressed look, achieved by blasting them with pressurized silica, is often fatal for the people who work in jean factories. (Silica is sand and has numerous uses. China is buying up sand from Israel, for example, to use in its roads!)
Called sandblasting, Turkey banned the practice in 2009 because so many workers began to die from silicosis. Other countries such as Bangladesh, Egypt, and Mexico are reportedly continuing to allow what has killed 46 people in Turkey alone since November 2010. Further compounding the problem, a handful of brands, including Armani, Dolce & Gabana, and Matalan, refuse to discontinue sales of their “killer” jeans.
Blasted silica
More than one organization has launched concerted initiatives to end sandblasting. One such program, the Clean Clothes Campaign, has managed to convince several major labels such as H&M, Levis, and Versace to give up their sandblasted lines.
It’s easy to see why. An excellent report from the Fair Trade Center reveals the physiological impact that silica particles, inhaled, have on the body, and the extent to which the fashion industry is complicit in hundreds of deaths.
Here is a small tidbit that might convince the most devoted fashionista to never buy another pair of sandblasted jeans:
…These [silica] particles are so tiny that they are invisible to the naked eye. The body is unable to expel the silica particles causing diseases such as silicosis. The particles penetrate the pulmonary alvcoli and connective tissue, gradually impairing lung capacity and their ability to oxygenate the blood… Silicosis is one of the oldest known occupational diseases and when fully developed, it is chronic.
In the United States, sandblasting is only permitted if silica makes up no more than 0.5% of the abrasive used to “distress” jeans, and if employees don protective wear. Other countries lack these stringent requirements.
A.K.A. Potter’s Rot
Before the ban on sandblasting took effect, 5,000 Turkish workers had already contracted silicosis in often unregistered jean factories. Caught early enough, the disease also known as “Potter’s Rot” need not be fatal. But often it is.
Despite these disturbing statistics, Armani and others have ignored pressure to give up their sandblasted clothing lines. Not only that, but they cost a small fortune. Sage Clothing in the United Kingdom advertises a pair of Armani sandblasted jeans (on sale, mind you) for more than 100 British Pounds.
Like those that took action before them, these companies will eventually be forced by public pressure to take the high road. At least, we sure do hope so.

Last night Miranda Kerr made her first post-Flynn appearance on the Australian runway for David Jones Spring/Summer Collections launch held at the Royal Hall of Industries and we’ve got the insiders goss to go. Our experts were out in full force at the show and all agree that the department store giant proved it’s far from doom and gloom for retail, showing off pops of colour on the runway and an impressive collection of celebrities, fashion elites and beauty stars joining forces to support one of Australia’s best shopping destinations.
Miranda Kerr on the Runway and Beyond Gorgeous Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr made her post-pregnancy debut on the Australian runway last night for David Jones spring/summer collections launch. We spotted the new mum express milking back stage before the show! Orlando Bloom was by her side pre-show but had to jet to New Zealand to start work on the next Lord of the Rings film so missed the show. Kerr opened the show in a yellow and silver sequined mini-kaftan from Camilla Franks. We were underwhelmed with the look that closed the show, a simple white pleated dress from Dion Lee. DJ’s worked Kerr hard with a full seven appearances in the show, including pieces from Ksubi, Collette Dinnigan and Alex Perry. At the after party, Miranda showed off those endless legs in a stunning white lace dress that was just the right amount of sexy and sweet.
Napoleon Perdis Summer Looks Our Make Up Maestro Napoleon Perdis flew in to Sydney especially for the show and created three amazing looks on the models; Old Hollywood, Young Hollywood and Nairobi. The first featured, of course, a classic red lip and perfect base. Young Hollywood had a pop of orange in the lip and dewy eyes, right on trend and very fresh. His final look was inspired by his trip to Africa, featuring natural, earthy, nude tones.
Front Row Heavyweights After working his magic backstage, Napoleon sat front row beside stars such as Megan Gale, Charlotte Dawson, Sarah Murdoch, Alex Perry, Johdi Meares, Sophie Faulkner, Lara Bingle, Natalie Imbruglia and Gail Elliot. DJ’s proved they’ve still got it with this incredible line up of stars who were all in high spirits with the Veuve flowing and gorgeous clothes striding down the runway. We declared winter out the window and David Jones’ nay saying done with as we watched in all unfold!
