Digital photography, thanks to its user-friendly interface, automatic setting of every variable, digital filtering, and

correction in post production, generated a crowd of lousy photographers. It's not rare to meet with professionals in the

fashion industry who even shoot filming the scene, then selecting with stop frame the right picture. The set looks like

something…

This is the first time I see something different and daring. A beautiful body, indeed, and I'm not talking about the lady, of course, but about the Studebaker Champ truck, a model that really deserves to stick to her skin. The trend of car tattoing is growing. Boys like their favorite car to be stamped on their arm or chest, but somebody pushes further, placing trucks and submarines, like some Russian…

I'm very sorry to make improper use of the Envy and I apologize with Samantha Lim for posting, every now and then, a topic which has very little to do with fashion cool stuff. But, you see, I can't look at future trends if I don't take my time and stop to look in the rear mirror.…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

Talking about low impact on the environment, here's a new line you can wear to reduce your footprint on the planet. 

This is not exactly a new fashion label, but the work of a photographer with a kind spirit and an eye for color matching. 

This inspiring art direction could be used to promote a new…

Charles Inottum's new book, The Visible Skeleton, makes an interesting parallel between lingerie and bones.

Women, according to this controversial author, like to wear corsets, garters and stockings to mimick an exoskeleton.

The theory says that, instead of weapons of seduction, the female body seeks protection through the visual 

metaphor of death. The book, soon after release last month, created an uproar of…

The trend is for sharp cut, garden sculptures and Magrittian hairstyle. This reinvented bobcut is beautiful and improves your hearing.

Fill up and go! It seems peace is only possible when you run out of missiles.

This might be a great idea to tell people recycling is chic!

Dear Envy Friends,

I recently received a book from a dear friend who works up in the Italian Alps as a lumberjack. The book's title is "Nature", by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and it was written in 1836. I am pretty sure every person living in America knows or at least heard about this writer, thinker and philosopher who, for some reasons,…

Gideon Sundback is the inventor of the zip, a brilliant system to open and close two separate pieces of fabric,

The story behind this breakthrough idea is intriguing and full of surprises. The buttons' market plummeted after a few 

years. The zip conquered the world as fast as it zips and unzips. To see more, click on this…

Lisa Nilsson is producing wonderful paper quills which can be seen as a foreplay in fashion production, since every dress is born from paper and also because the flesh dresses our bones and our skin, like the outer, ultimate layer of a human onion, is giving us appearance before any garment or fabric whatsoever.

Paper should be used more often in concept fashion, as an economic but incredibily adaptable medium for…

A new line of cameras for looking at the world of fashion from a different angle. The Digifukk is a series of products invented for the professional photographer who's tired of the digital perfection of hi res images and supersharp details. The Digifukk cameras allow you to record reality the way brain works, with a certain degree of unaccurateness.

Many artists have been shifting to this new trend, producing a…

Ha - ha - ha! LOL :-) verrryyy fuunnnyyy!!!

NO! IT'S NOT FUNNY!

This is bad taste, this is lack of respect, this is poor humour. Bunk and bogus stuff. I wonder why Amnesty International doesn't do anything about it.

Last week I was in Hollywood and I had the opportunity to interview Rintintin (one of…

The Halftruck by Brandpowder ©.

This new vehicle is just one of the new ideas of the underworld design firm Brandpowder. Moving from New York City to Alaska has been a bold move. But it's also a good example to others and a lesson on frugality, especially in a time where everybody is sensitive to cost cuts. According to its founder, going back to basics…
