Black Milk Clothing Signs Lucasfilm Deal
Australian Fashion Company Makes Star Wars Swimsuits
Australian fashion house Black Milk Clothing has turned a cease and desist letter from Star Wars mastermind George Lucas into a lucrative business opportunity.
The small label made waves when it released swimsuits bearing the images of Star Wars robots R2-D2 and C-3PO. George Lucas lashed out at the firm, and it halted production of its Artoo and Threepio one-pieces.
What hap…Vivienne Westwood Designs Charity T-Shirt for Refugees
Environmental Justice Foundation Organic Cotton Tee
Fashion designer and social activist Vivienne Westwood has designed a new T-shirt to raise funds for the Environmental Justice Foundation. After making its debut at the Vivienne Westwood Red Label runway show at London Fashion Week, it's now available to the general public.
The War/Peace tee will support the Environmental Justice Foundation's "No Place Like Home" campaign. T…Zilli Readies New Eyewear Collection
Specs Inspired by Painters & Chefs
It's been two years in the making, but Zilli is finally releasing its second eyewear collection.
The new lines features 12 new styles: six spectacles and six sunglasses. These designs interpret Zilli's two key concepts: The Famous Painters and The Famous Chefs. These seem like off the wall inspirations, but Zilli says the themes "symbolize the pleasure and hedonism" it holds dea…Moschino & Kartell Make Recycled Plastic Sandals
Cute Eco-Friendly Super Bow Shoes
Moschino has teamed up with Kartell to create a cute collection of sandals called Super Bow.
The colorful shoes make a big impression with their towering platform soles, peep-toe styling, and playful bow accents which mirror Moschino's famous motif. An adjustable ankle strap makes them as comfortable as plastic shoes can be, while the inspirational slogan "He who loves me follo…Bikini Shopping Stresses Customers, Study Says
New Australian Research About Swimwear Sales
If buying a new swimsuit makes your palms sweat, it seems you're not the only one. New research conducted by Australia's Flinders University shows women find bikini shopping a negative and stressful experience. In fact, even imagining trying on a swimsuit is enough to put women in a bad mood!
University professor and psychologist Marika Tiggemann headed the research team which s…Patagonia Releases Eco-Friendly R1 Wetsuit
Lightweight Recycled Polyester Warm Water Surf Suit
Patagonia has responded to customer calls for a cooler wetsuit with the release of its new lightweight R1 suit. Available in both male and female styles, Patagonia claims its new suit features more recycled materials than any other on the market.
Patagonia's R1 is carefully crafted from limestone based neoprene and lined with a blend of recycled polyester fleece and flexible spa…H&M Debuts Fashion Against AIDS Collection at Coachella
Summer Apparel & Accessories for Charity
H&M is preparing to launch its fifth annual Fashion Against AIDS collection, just in time for summer shopping.
The colourful limited edition collection features several items for our beach wardrobes including tribal printed bikinis and sunglasses, chunky green wedges, ombre cover-up dresses, and T-shirts emblazoned with the Fashion Against AIDS slogan. The line's pri…Lulu Guinness Designs Uniqlo T-Shirts
Quirky Limited Edition Tee Line
Lulu Guinness has lent her creative talents to Uniqlo's latest limited edition U.T. T-shirt collection.
The new Uniqlo tees feature familiar Lulu Guinness images, including quirky cats, the London city skyline, a playful doll face, and her iconic lips and cameo patterns. Lulu Guinness' famous slogans including "Put your pearls on girls" have also found their way onto the shirt…Sofia Retro Bazar’s Vintage Scarf Swimwear
Sustainable Recycled Renewall Swimsuits
Italian designers Ilaria Tranfa and Rita Molina are turning vintage neck scarves into sustainable swimwear with their label Sofia Retro Bazar.
By working with vintage fabrics from the sixties and seventies, the swimsuits from Sofia Retro Bazar's Renewall line represent a modern shift towards environmental practices. The designing friends also keep their production proces…Tula Gardener Hat
Wide Brimmed Woven Fiber Sunhat
Tula calls this wide brimmed beauty a Gardener Hat, but I imagine it'd be just as useful away from the flower bed, don't you?
After all, the Gardener Hat's wide brim would keep off sun no matter where you are, including your local break. Its styling is simple but classic, with a tightly woven finish, distinctive wide brim, and unisex feel.
I'm not so sure about the leather strap though.…Jetpilot MVP Rash Guard
Pink Lycra Logo Surf T-Shirt
Jetpilot reminds us that rash guards aren't just for tiny tote with this MVP surf shirt.
I appreciate that the MVP was crafted especially for women. Jetpilot appreciates the differences between the genders, so it doesn't take the one style suits all approach of many surf labels. Its made from flexible lycra which hugs the figure and moves as you do. That makes it ideal for surfers, vo…Under Armour Eazy Breezy Cover-Up
Purple Hooded Terry Fabric Beach Dress
Under Armour makes sun protection simple with this Eazy Breezy Cover-Up.
The styling reminds me a lot of those cute shift dresses tennis playing women wear. The V-neck and empire waist certainly give the Eazy Breezy a sporty feel that's perfect for busy beachgoers.
However I'm not sure any tennis dresses are made from French terry cloth. While that fabric's not appropriate for the…Olukai Kumu Flip Flops
Classic Comfortable Leather Beach Shoes
Olukai puts comfort first with its Kumu flip flops.
That's not to say that the Kumus are ugly; they're just a bit ordinary. The pearlesque straps on this particular color combination make them feel a little more dressed up than the other Kumus, but they're still pretty simple. They're inoffensive enough, but I can't imagine anyone will buy them for their looks.
The Kumus really come…Mud Pie Coral Charm Flip Flops
Metallic Gold Beach Shoes
Mud Pie takes inspiration from the ocean with its Coral Charm Flip Flops. But are they perfect for the beach?
These are a really good looking pair of flip flops, with a bold coral design on a round medallion at the toes. The golden charm is complemented by the matching straps. The metallic finish makes them seem more sophisticated than your average pair of flip flops, so you could get aw…Juicy Couture Live for Love Tote
Reversible Canvas Velour Beach Bag
Juicy Couture offers us two cute looks for one low price with this Live for Love beach bag.
The canvas side features the bold Live for Love slogan emblazoned across the gentle pink colored front. The interior is cleverly lined with velour, which should soak up some of the moisture from damp beach towels and swimming costumes. There's plenty of space for these items and other seaside e…Grand Trunk Bamboo Towel
Green Organic Travel Beach Blanket
Grand Trunk creates a towel that's as green as it looks with this bamboo towel.
I concede that this towel looks pretty boring. It's plain, and not even a particularly fetching shade of green. But what it lacks in looks it makes up for with smarts.
This towel is crafted from a unique blend of cotton and organic bamboo viscose. The material feels silky soft against the skin, and is quick to…Miraclesuit Fantastic Faux Swimsuit
Loose Fitting Black Tankini Style One-Piece
Miraclesuit fakes us out with this clever Fantastic Faux Swimsuit. It appears like a tankini with a matching pair of briefs, but it’s actually a one-piece!
The Fantastic Faux is really a swimsuit for girls that want to cover up. If you're self-conscious about carrying some extra weight you might appreciate the loose-fitting tankini style top. It skims problem areas rather than…Miraclesuit Flamenco Swimsuit
Red Ruffled One-Piece Bandeau Bathers
Miraclesuit adds a splash of Spanish flair to a classic bandeau swimsuit with the Flamenco.
Soft rows of ruffles criss-cross across the top of this swimsuit, highlighting its familiar sweetheart neckline. The frills make the Flamenco feel very feminine, as well as enhancing the bust. If you're petite the ruffles will add volume, and if you're curvy they'll draw attention to thos…Despi Casablanca String Bikini
Blue Beaded Halter Neck Swim Top
Despi looks to Moroccan bazaars for inspiration with its Casablanca bikini.
At its heart this is a classic triangle string bikini, nice enough but ultimately overwhelming. It's saved from the doldrums by the intricate beading at the straps. The tiny earth toned beads create a chunky figure eight underneath the halter-neck tie. I'm not sure the gentle hues are the best match for th…
