It’s a dress and it’s a boat, Canada-based designer Jacqueline Bradley’s artwork features a surprisingly perfect combination of two commonly irrelevant things and accomplishes an impressive visual effect. But there’s still one thing I really want to know: will the dress float on the water just as regular boats do if we wear it in the water?
Avalanche airbags backpacks? Not any more, as we now have these avalanche airbag clothing developed by The North Face. This innovative vest has integrated a nitrogen-based airbag system from German manufacturer ABS, and it is built with airbags in both the front and the back, to provide the wearer a full protection whenever it is activated to work. Furthermore, as soon as the airbags pump out, they will immediately increase the user’s surface area so that he will float on top of the moving snow rather than get trapped by it.
Fashionable, durable, except for those existing ones, we now have another new reason to explain why we all love jeans: because they smell pretty good, good like raspberries! That’s rightly the unique feature of these Weird Guy Scratch n’ Sniff Raspberry Scented jeans from Naked & Famous. They’re made with denim that is coated with millions of tiny micro-scent capsules, thus whenever you on the surface of the jeans, you will smell yummy raspberry fragrance around. As an additional bonus, these jeans can still release fragrance even after four to five (or even more) times of washes. Isn’t that amazing?! I mean, when you though your jeans are bit of smelly, you can just scratch to make them smell good again.

Scientists from China have recently brought good news for people who seldom want to clean their clothes: the self-cleaning clothes. The new material was created by coating titanium dioxide and nitrogen on cotton fibers, and those two elements will break down dirt and kill microbes once exposed to the sunlight. Additional nanoparticles using silver and iodine are also adopted to accelerate the discoloration process. Of course the self-cleaning clothes can be washed with water too, as the special coat is claimed to be robust enough to withstand washing and drying.
Especially designed for professional cyclists who usually need to exercise and contest in different climatic conditions, the Louis Garneau Carbon Pro Team Shoes come with two pairs of inner soles, one for cold weather that prevent heat loss, and the other for warm or hot weather to help keep athletes cool. The insole used in hot weather is actually constructed with Ice-Fil, a cooling fabric that automatically moderate moisture and temperature based on the amount of sweat on the sole. Apart from the unique double insoles, the Louis Garneau Carbon Pro Team Shoes also have other features, such as a super-cool pattern design, light weight, comfortable wearing experience and so on. Because Louis Garneau is a sponsor of Team Europcar, the Carbon Pro Team Shoes were tested at the Team Europcar Training Camp, who will wear the shoes to train and race for the 2012 season soon.

Moreover, when not in use, these shoes can be recycled too.
