Worn Again—an eco-fashion initiative from UK-based Anti-Apathy—has teamed up with Virgin Atlantic to find a use for old aircraft seat covers and other materials.
For several years, Worn Again has been giving a new lease on life to old materials including car seat belts, prison blankets, bicycle tires, parachutes and firemen's uniforms. Now the company is working to help Virgin Atlantic meet its goal of halving the waste it sends to landfills by 50 percent by 2012.

A STAUS STORY
StyleShake lets creative customers design their own
garments, picking from a selection of quality fabrics and putting
together dresses from virtual pattern pieces to create
truly personal pieces that can be delivered to their doors
(in the UK, western Europe, North America or Australia)
What's more, the garments are produced in
London, so customers needn't worry about the use of
sweatshop labor.

Looking at the pictures below you would think the hair and clothing were crochet not braids!

Award-winning Hairstylist, Angela Plummer as quoted by Spell Magazine ' was born to braid'. Not content with a regular head to style, she pushes the art of braiding way beyond familiar boundaries into the realms of intricate patterns, conceptual headpieces or even whole outfits!

Subconsciously, I am still aware of how I look from a fashion sense, in my own house! Even if I am putting on the oldest clothes that I own, I still got's to co-ordinate! Poor me!
I feel I can justify this: in the event of :
1.an emergency,
2.say a fire alarm going off,
3.a power cut,
4.an unexpected delivery.
May I add, 3. & 4. are particular events that have actually happened to me, and did cause embarrassment...............mmmmmm! Anyway, decent co-ordination, would be the one and only reason, you would get me through the front door, or maybe my balcony to call for help!
Yes, that is the essence of my foolishness! I'm only human......
