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!

Monochrome_anachron-1

That’s the amazing idea by Michael Johansson: to get everything, regular and irregular, to turn into regularly ArtWorks. A kind of Tetris Art.

“I am intrigued by irregularities in daily life. Not those that appear when something extraordinary occurs, but those that are created by an exaggerated form of regularity. Colours or patterns from two separate objects or environments concur, like when two people pass each other dressed in the exact same outfit. Or when you are switching channels on your TV and realize that the same actor is playing two different roles on two different channels at the same time. Or that one day the parking lot contained only red cars” he writes.

“These irregularities, these coincidences, are another focus of my artwork.” And now have at Michael Johansson’s site to find out all his amazing ideas.
