Miami Swim Week Kicks Off With McDonald’s-Inspired Fashion For The Foodie Fashinistas

Published

on

Typically, the inspiration for fashion design comes from a limitless number of sources, and of-course the bold vision of creatives fashionistas. But this year, students at Miami International University (MIU) of Art & Design used a rather unique sense of creativity to create their Swim Week fashion show- Inspired by Cultural Food Icon, McDonald’s.

Charlene Parsons, director of fashion for the school, says students were tasked with making swimwear couture using McDonald’s burger wrappers, fry boxes, straws, and other materials from the restaurant chain. Loving It?

Well, here are the numbers in case you’re in the market for a new MacCoat: In total, 7,000 McDonald’s sandwich wrappers, 2,800 fry boxes, 2,800 straws, 825 soft drink cups, 225 Happy Meal boxes, 2,900 sandwich boxes,1,000 sriracha sauce lids, and 250 to-go bags were used to create the runway items that ranged from a surfer dude outfit to frilly dresses.

About 40 outfits were made, with only 20 being selected for the McCouture Signature Crafted Swim Collection show that kicked off Miami Swim Week. Twenty models walked the runway at the Funkshion Fashion Tent yesterday, clad in red Baywatch-esque swimwear as the base for the students’ creations.

So the next time you hit the MCDs Drive-thru, don’t just think French Fries- Think Fashion! McSwag?.

The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Finally Arrives This Diciembre!

Published

on

The wait is finally over! Back To The Future II introduced us to the idea and Nike’s Innovation Team Manifest The Unimaginable- We Introduce You To The HyperAdapt 1.0:

The self-lacing HyperAdapt 1.0 will be released on Dec. 1 and is expected to cost about $720 at retailers.

“When you step in, your heel will hit a sensor and the system will automatically tighten,” a Nike senior innovator said when the shoe was unveiled in March. “Then there are two buttons on the side to tighten and loosen. You can adjust it until it’s perfect.”

The shoes also feature LED lights in the heels that will light up when the shoes are tightening and when they require a battery charge. A full charge can take three hours and lasts about two weeks.

Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 is the first step into the future of adaptive performance. It’s currently manual (i.e., athlete controlled) but it makes feasible the once-fantastic concept of an automated, nearly symbiotic relationship between your foot and your zapatos.
