by trendhunter.comLevi’s has created a line of shoes made out of old jeans with the ‘Reused Jean Shoe.’ The ‘Reused Jean Shoe’ takes a few pairs of old jeans for each shoe, because each shoe has the iconic Levi jean pieces—including yellow stitching, coin pocket and stud button. A great reimagining of old jeans for Levi’s!

Levi’s writes: “We’re focused on building sustainability into everything we do. To this end, Levi Strauss & Co. commissioned a scientific life cycle assessment of a pair of Levi’s® 501® jeans and Dockers® Original Khakis.

Our life cycle assessment helped us find out the facts about the climate change, water use and energy impact of each of these products.”

Enjoy Levi’s green denim life!

guerra delapaz3

Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz became a creative team in 1996. Their art is based on a combination of traditional disciplines and experimentation with dimension and the use of unconventional materials. For this sculputers and installations they used huge quantities of reclaimed textiles, in particular old ties: “Snakecharmer Portrait”.

Their figurative sculptures are always deeply ambitious in scale for the exceptional handicraft details and because they address difficult actual themes live violence, war, waste, consumerism….

cactus2

That’s the creative and fun ideas for recycling by Ilaria Chiani aka “Ilaria Chiani Cactus” and she told me “I used to make my cactus with all stuff even junk I can get around: denim, food packaging, old rain covers, vintage textile, even P&P box/bags! The internal structure is on wood, so that the cactus can’t “sag”. Then I create the foam padding and wadding. They are entirely handmade and I need 1 to 4 days to make them. The largest is two feet, the yellow one in the picture below.”

She is always very active within Arts exhibitions like “Mamastore” in Thiene, “Orange Blue” in Thiene, “ Spazio Nadir” in Vicenza, RIARTECO in Firenze. Find out more about her look at Ilaria Chiani Cactus’s blog.
