Maison Martin Margiela repurposed ski gloves and incorporated them into an entirely new, ingenious, and extremely fun jacket. This 103 hour handmade design was priced at $15,124.

I wonder what will come next…

Who knew this was possible? No hands or numbers to tell you the time, just that bright blue sky or starry night above you. This watch displays different colors which corresponds to the time of the day it currently is. With a click of a button the moon or sun is displayed on the face, where it would actually be located in that sky above you. This is so crazy cool!

Ryohei Yoshiyuki is the designer and with the collaboration of one other media artist they bring you this innovative product. This is only one of many ideas Ryohei has come up with!

Now get to it!

Falling Whistles, in need of an adventure found their way off the beaten path where they discovered the war affected children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Children which were too small to carry guns were given different weapons; whistles.

Fallings whistles began to spread their word when they launched with a simple plan, “Be a Whistle blower for Peace.” 100 % of the proceeds go to rehabilitate and advocate for the freedom of war affected children. The whistle now recognized for protest will make others realize, “The Congo’s WEAPON is our VOICE.”
