The Chanel runway in the vast hall of the Grand Palais appeared to have been made from solar panels, and along its considerable length sprouted a forest of towering wind turbines that Karl Lagerfeld called âbeautiful modern architecture.â Karl was clearly looking to the future and to the idea of harnessing technology to fashion, from the fabrics printed, woven, or layered to create the illusion of three-dimensionality, to the playful accessories including the classic Chanel boater reimagined with an enormous brim of clear Lucite, or the new Chanel bag in bright molded plastic.

New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz has created a riff on the iconic and ubiquitous "I Heart NY" design by Milton Glaser in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Submerging the logo in blue dip-dye on a T-shirt for Grey Area, Errazuriz, whose studio was paralyzed by city power outages in the violent storm, was inspired after noticing the devastatingly high flood line on the walls of the Chelsea art galleries. The artist created another shirt that depicts the NYC subway map dip-dyed in black at an angle to artistically and accurately show the city's post-disaster power divide.
One hundred percent of the T-shirts' profits will benefit relief efforts in the area, so get yours now. Despite the overwhelming response in the shirt's short life to date, they're still taking orders online at Grey Area for $40. More pictures after the jump.

This beautiful installation located in the German Abbey Brauweiler, is very playful and has a magical / transcendent quality to it. It is almost as if it's one of Alice's experiences in Wonderland, and the windows to another dimension are opening or closing. The freedom of this work is that it is art, and has the ability to be interpreted in various realms of fantastical appreciation. More photos after the jump.

While living in africa, a group of entrepreneurs from amsterdam observed that the continent's export of manufactured goods was lacking. Rich in raw materials including cocoa, crude oil and coffee beans, africa unfortunately does not reap the benefits of its land. Much of these natural ingredients are shipped to western countries and china to be processed and made into real product, ultimately sold at a much higher price, making the profit margins between supplier and producer incomparable.
