Your own Ralph Lauren Rugby shirt with the iPhone application
The Ralph Lauren Rugby brand launched a “Make Your Own” iPhone application , by which consumers can create their own Rugby shirt directly from their iPhone, which can now also be done through interactive store windows in select stores..
By using the application and the shop window, customers can customize a Rugby shirt with patches and lettering, buy it, email it, post it to Facebook or save it. But if you might wonder how you would look with that particular shirt, you can upload a photo and actually see how it fits you. And by shaking the application, you can change your skin tone ore later your haircut. Afterwards you can share it with others in a public gallery and even rate the creations of others.
On the interactive store windows, all of this can be done by touching the glass with your hand. This means you can customize a shirt at the store anytime day or night, without even going inside.

Coffee fabrics with milky clothes
I recently posted an item concerning the use of coffee beans as an ingredient for a new fabric. Guess what; you can combine your coffee fabric with a cloud of milky clothes.
According the Wall Street Journal Online:
“Per Aage Sivertsen, winner of this spring’s Oslo Fashion Week designer award (Naløyet) in February and creative mind behind the Norwegian “eco-lux” brand FIN, plans to make part of next year’s spring/summer collection from a gauze-like fabric based 100% on milk proteins. Making fabric from milk frees up land that would otherwise have been used to grow cotton, a crop vilified for its intense water consumption and high pesticide use.”
