T-shirts are a very hot item right now and there are many online businesses that have become very successful in producing their own t-shirts and selling them. The reason the t-shirt industry is so profitable is because almost everyone around the world wears t-shirts. You can find virtually any kind of t-shirt you want to fit whatever kind of mood you are in and whatever kind of message or fashion statement you are trying to get across. T-shirts are made to appeal to everyone and they do, it's one of the very few markets that have that universal appeal.

One of the hottest t-shirts on the market today is the vintage style t-shirt. People like to re-live a time in their past that they really enjoyed and feel very nostalgic about. They often go looking for retro or vintage designs and t-shirts that they might have worn back when they were a kid. Many times it can be a reminder of a simpler, better time in their life when they weren't dealing with the difficult events of current everyday life.

There are t-shirt companies that are actually reproducing old designs from the past and making new shirts from these designs. This is great for people looking for these vintage t-shirts because it makes it easier for them to track down that perfect design they have been looking for all this time. Since they are being reprinted, finding a size is often not an issue as well. Many online websites even offer customization to the shirt including adding a graphic you like on almost any color. You can make it the perfect shirt that you have either always wanted or have been looking for forever.

If you find a design that you love, a lot of the online shops also have the option of putting them on other objects and gifts as well. You can put it on objects like hats, mouse pads, coffee mugs, tote bags, ties, hoodies, sweatshirts, teddy bears, key chains and many other things. If it has the ability to be printed on, there should be no problem in customizing it to fit your needs.

Vintage t-shirts and gifts are not only great for you, but can be the perfect thing to give another person. If you know that a person is very nostalgic and likes to talk about "the good old days", finding a design that they remember and giving it to them as a gift on a t-shirt or another object can bring a smile to their face. Everyone likes being reminded of a cherished time in their lives, and getting them a vintage style t-shirt is a one way to help them do that. Now not only will they think about the good old days when wearing or using the gift, but they will think about the person who gave the gift to them as well.

In 1995, Science Fiction writer, Neal Stephenson wrote about nanofabric that stayed cleaned. He referred to fabricules as the self-cleaning fabric.

Now the U.S. Airforce has made Science Fiction come to life. There is a new technology which attaches nanoparticles to clothing fibers using microwaves. These chemicals will repel water, oil and bacteria, because they are directly bounded to the nanoparticles. These two elements combine to create a protective coating on the fibers of the material. This coating both kills bacteria, and forces liquids to bead and run off.

The U.S. Military spent more than 20 million to develop the fabric.

During Desert Storm, most casualties were from bacterial infections not accidents or friendly fire. Jeff Owens, one of the scientists who worked to develop the process said.

They treated underwear of soldiers who worn them for several weeks and it was found to stay hygienic. Not only did the underwear stay clean, but it was also reported that it cleared up some skin complaints.

In 1951, there was a film called, The Man in the White Suit. This film had the general idea of clothes that never got dirty. In 1961, the Science Fiction writer, Stanislaw Lem, wrote about spray-on clothing, in his novel, Return From the Stars. In the Utopian world of the novel, life's necessities are readily available to every one including single-use, original clothing.

Once again the science world brought science fiction to true life.

Fabrican is fabric in a can yes, it's true. Spray on a shirt or dress, right out of the can. The fabric looks similar to a thin cotton teeshirt, but it's very clingy. Fabrican is the creation of Manel Torres, a post-graduate from the Royal College of Art.

This cloud of non-woven cloth is made by spraying a chemical formula directly onto the skin. Thousands of fibers splatter against your skin. The fibers bind together to create disposable apparel. It's as tough as hemp for some uses, or soft as silk for others.

As the future comes to us at warp speed, another idea in a novel is coming to life. In William Gibson's 1984 novel, Neuromancer, he writes: The Panther Modern leader, who introduced himself as Lupus Yonderboy, wore a polycarbon suit with a recording feature that allowed him to replay backgrounds at will.

A real-life polycarbon suit is the dream of Greg Sotzing of the University of Connecticut, in Storrs.
He has developed threads of electrochromic polymers which change color in response to an applied electric field.

This is how it works:

A mixture of differently colored threads would be knitted or woven into a teeshirt or blanket, along with a small number of thin metal wires connected to a battery pack and a micro-controller. The crisscrossing wires effectively divide the shirt into pixels. Each colored thread changes its state at different voltages, so by varying the voltage between different pairs of wires you can change the color of each pixel. By connecting the controller to a camera, it could even be made to switch the pixels to display a pattern matching your surroundings.

Electrochromic polymers are colored because the electrons in their chemical bonds can absorb light across a range of visible wavelengths. When a voltage is applied it changes the energy levels of these electrons, causing them to absorb light of a different wavelength, and changing the material's color. When the voltage is reversed, the electrons return to their usual energies and the original color returns.

This teeshirt is still in the process of being made, but they already have been successful in creating fibers which will turn from orange to blue, and from red to blue, according to New Scientist print edition.

Slip on this flat-heeled round toe with pleated detailing for a cutesy chic look.

Today, the influence of 60's retro clothing can be seen everywhere. Designer fashion houses, high street outlets, and fashion conscious trendsetters all take inspiration from this decade. The 1960's was responsible for revolutions in music, film, and fashion, which may be why it is so well loved by vintage clothing aficionados.

The 1960's was an era of innovation and new thinking. Fashion was heavily influenced by the younger generations who were spending their wages on clothes and music. A school leaving age of fifteen meant that most teenagers over this age had full time jobs and an income to facilitate this spending.

Fashion followed three main phases but there were several popular sub genres too. In the early part of the 60's fashion followed similar trends to the late 50's such as the full skirt and Chanel suits. This was followed by the up rise of mini skirts, the Mary Quant and Vidal Sassoon looks. It was these that formed the 'definitive' 60's look and by the end of the decade, the hippy look was more prevalent with long hair, and kaftans.

The most iconic looks of the 1960's can be split depending on your sex. For women, it was the almost Carnaby chic look with mini skirts, short angular haircuts, and knee length boots. For men, the 60's brought the mod look with Italian slim fitting suits and skinny ties. These were the looks that defined the era, for many are still popular today, and still influence British fashion and style.

Even if you take a look at the popular movies from the 1960's, these styles can be seen. Music too influenced the fashion and vice versa. Many of the major bands during this decade helped set the trends, which again were largely bought by the younger generations.

The late 60's gave way to the hippy style, which was heavily influenced by the music culture. Long hair, beads, and kaftans were the order of the day and flared trousers and jeans were being worn by anyone who had a real eye for fashion. Not everyone however favoured this style. For some it was too scruffy therefore, a blend of this and mod style emerged where double-breasted suits with wider leg trousers bridged the gap.

60'S style keeps on coming back. You only have to look at the late 70's and early 80's, to see this when Two-Tone music and fashion became popular with 60's inspired monochrome fashion and a new take on the mod look.

Even if you look around your typical town or city, you are likely to see someone whose style has been influenced in some way by the fashion trends this decade had to offer. It could be 60's dresses; maybe it is someone sporting a 60's inspired skinny tie or pointed shoes. Whatever it is, 60's style, and 60's vintage clothes will continue to re-emerge time after time after time.

ALDO CELABINSK - Women City Fashion Shoes

Comfortable yet adorable. The Oxford shoe gets revamped, this time with bold block heel and perforation detail. Approximate heel height is 3.3 inches.

There really should be a law! We've all seen them. This newer style of jeans, that from the knee down resemble any other style of jeans that have been around for years. But, go above the knee and these jeans stop just short of where the other jeans call the waistline. On some people they look great, accenting a great body and are age appropriate. In other instances however, well let's be kind here and say that the outcome is far less attractive. Which brings me to the question (and the question that we have all asked in our heads), 'who should wear low-rise jeans'?

To me the answer is obvious: Women who have the body for it. But how do you know if you have the what it takes to pull it off? The first red flag would be, that if when trying on a pair of low-rise jeans you say to yourself 'I'm just not sure about this'? Take them off! If you are going to walk around in public in the sexy things you must first have the confidence to make it work. Nothing is worse than a woman wearing a hot pair of low-rise jeans and covering them up with an extra long t-shirt. Case in point: If you've got it, flaunt it. And if you don't got it, keep it covered up.

Another thing to keep in mind is that nobody wants to see their Grandma strutting around in a pair of low-rise jeans either. I'm not saying that just because you are a grandparent you can't look great. But unless it is 'Silver Singles Night' down at the bingo hall, keep your midriff behind a cosy wool cat sweater. And just because you are between the ages 18 and 40 doesn't make it alright to sport a pair of low-riser's either. We have all seen the young woman around town, walking around like she owns the place. We have also seen her not-so flat ab's, and her no-so-covered-up butt-crack as well. This should be outlawed! Just because your friends say you look great, doesn't mean that you do. You, and only you, should know if you can look sexy in a pair of low-rise jeans. F.Y.I. low-rise jeans were created to draw attention the body, and some people are better off keeping the attention pointed elsewhere. (you know who you are).

My final point would be this: Do the world a favour and wear low-rise jeans, if and only if, you know for sure that you look super-sexy-hot in them. But please, do not even attempt to wear them if there is the slight chance that you will cause people to become nauseous, offended, scared, make babies cry or have mirrors shatter in your presence. With just the right amount of common sense, we should never have to ask who should wear low-rise jeans. It's a no-brainer.

Happy shopping!

For your everyday adventures, step out in these stylish leather runners featuring cool topstitching, a convenient treaded sole and a comfortable elastic fit and Velcro closure.

I recently worked as Special Features Manager for two lifestyle exhibitions, and as part of my brief, I had to deliver catwalk design shows for both a Spanish and Italian show.

The Italian show, Viva Italia, was a huge success, easy to source designer outfits - we had some fabulous clothes and everyone fell over themselves to show on the catwalk. There was a huge enthusiasm amongst retailers, designers and models. Everything was enthusiastically received by the viewing public and for the next show, I have people lining up to take part. Everyone in the fashion industry are proud to be Italian - I can't wait until the next show.

The Spanish show, Viva Espana, was still a great success, but it was so difficult to source designs that were Spanish. I contacted the PR teams who mostly came back with a resounding 'No'. Why? They want to be seen as International Designers. Refusals from Adolfo Dominguez, Mango and Zara were a huge surprise to me, as their clothes are very popular and would have been wonderful. Thank goodness for the wonderful PR team for Armand Basi - they were warm, friendly and incredibly helpful. Why are the Spanish not proud of their designs? Any ideas?

ALDO ZEBULINA - Women City Fashion Shoes

An understated beauty, this simple pointed toe flat will add elegance and style to your favorite look this season.

Not everyone is desperate to buy the latest celebrity handbag, and there are even those of us who don't need a designer label on our handbags. Fashion handbags are fun, affordable and you can always find one to complement your unique personality. However, it is easy to fall into the trap of buying quantity versus quality when you go the fashion handbag route, and you can end up with a wardrobe full of bags you hardly ever use. Here are 5 things to consider when buying a fashion handbag:

1. Quality

Quality is still important when buying fashion handbags. Buying a cheap bag that breaks or rips soon after you've acquired it is not a saving. Check that straps are firmly attached, zips open and close easily and the bag is properly lined. A bag without a lining is likely to end up with holes in the seams making it easy to lose small items.

2. Longevity

Although part of the fun of fashion handbags is that you can afford new bags as the fashions change, it's not worth buying bags that are so 'of the moment' that you know it won't last more than a season. You do still need one or two bags in classic styles that will see you through several seasons and hopefully several years. Disposable fashion is commonplace these days, but it's not good for the environment and it clutters up your wardrobe with things you don't use.

3. Uniqueness

One of the things I love most about fashion handbags is that there is such a huge selection to choose from, so you can usually find one that is unique to you. Who wants to walk around looking like a clone? Choose a bag that represents your personality and individuality in fabric, style and embellishment. Whether you're creative and expressive, practical and sensible or smart and minimalistic, the bags that are your favourites will always be the ones that feel like 'you'.

4. Practicality

Before buying a bag it is worth considering exactly what you will use it for. It is no use buying a beautiful evening bag that is so big you cannot be bothered to take it out with you, or a smart little day bag that you never use because you can only fit your keys into it. If you need a big practical bag to hold all your toddler and baby bits, try to opt for a bag in a practical hard-wearing fabric too, like leather or denim. Something delicate and beaded is not going to last long when it is being thrown around the park or dumped on the pool changing room floor!

5. Conscience

One of the issues with fashion handbags is how they are produced. Many are churned out in sweatshop style conditions. It is possible to buy affordable fashion handbags without compromising on fair trade conditions. These days it is not hard to find out whether an item has been ethically sourced or not, and there are plenty of shops and boutiques that have committed themselves to selling only products that have not exploited people. The bonus is that fair trade fashion handbags are usually better quality and more exciting in design than those that are mass produced.

Look great, play great! True comfort is yours with these sport flats combining leather upper, Velcro strap trio and rubber full sole. Also with almond toe and overlay and perforation detailing.

Where would a woman be without her handbag? As every 21st century girl knows, handbags are essential. Not only are they practical, but they can add the finishing touches to any outfit for any occasion. Long gone are the days when a woman's bag is just for carrying items in. Now more than ever, a handbag says something about the bearer. Manufacturers know this, and as a result, the market for handbags is an ever-changing, diverse territory.

Handbag chic is all the rage, and on the internet awaiting your discovery are some alluring handmade products that radiate quality with their uniqueness. A bag that is expertly crafted out of human labor retains an individuality that a mass made product can never compare to. With an intricate delicacy, silk and hyacinth, the two main materials used to make handmade bags in Thailand, can come together to weave a visual tale of style and wonder.

Handmade handbags are products that a woman can take pride in. Knowing that your bag is one of a kind and made from natural materials will give you an edge that will leave others envious. Handmade silk bags are produced through a process that combines the natural fiber of silk with other textiles through various weaving techniques. Water hyacinths are used to create the woven basket look of some handbags, which can often make for fashionable, as well as beach friendly, accessories. Some of the common design techniques used in making a bag from hyacinth include two-tone weaving, as well as the making of color stripes.

Accessorizing allows a girl to emanate her personality and character through choices she makes with regards to her bag and her outfit as a whole. We understand the world as humans, by all accounts, in a primarily visual sense. If this is the case then the look you have goes a long way to putting you on show to the rest of the world. Who are you and how do you want people to see you? When it comes to the embellishment of a handmade piece, designers often use beads, faux jewels, gold or metallic accents, as well as other inviting colorful details to enhance the appearance of a handbag. These additions allow the product to take on a life of its own.

Handbags come in all shapes and sizes. If you are keen on keeping up with the latest in handbag fashion, then you may already know that big is in. For once, fashion has merged with practicality, as larger handbags are currently more desirable than their smaller relatives.

In the past, handbag colors were restricted to monotonous tones of black, brown, tan and occasionally cream. Today, bags are represented by every color under the sun. With a handmade silk handbag, you can express yourself in a multitude of ways through vibrant shades of all the colors of the rainbow. You can always be assured of finding a style and a color to match whatever you are wearing. Through winter, spring, summer and fall, handbags made from silk are breathtaking, especially when fashioned from revered Thai silk.

Rex's beautiful and funky handmade handbags are made from Thailands indigenous materials--silk, hyacinth, leather or hemp--and sold at budget friendly prices. You can find the author's beautfiul line of unique handmade bags, accessories and home accents at Siam Sensibilities.

A season classic, the everyday leather loafer with rubber sole and stitching detail.

1. Sandals are downright fashionable. With styles that cover practically every possible reason and season, sandals never go out of style. In fact, many popular designs and styles of sandals remain lasting fashion statements year after year.

2. With sandals, foot freedom reins. Just ask any college student why they love their flip-flops. Ask a beach-goer how come they're not wearing tennis shoes. Sandals deliver an enticing balance of being almost barefoot but still having shoes on the feet. It's a lifestyle really.

3. They deliver comfort like no other. There is just something great about the way sandals tend to break in and conform to the foot - almost like they're an extension of the feet themselves. Shoes haven't quite found a way to enter this territory yet.

4. Sandals have health benefits. Many podiatrists actually recommend the wearing of supportive sandals for the healthful benefits they provide for feet. Some sandals work in the same way as custom orthodontics do to really help promote foot correct posture.

5. Forget about the fungus. It's true; sandal wearers get the added foot health benefit of having cool, dry feet. This means there's no place to harbor fungus, preventing a fungal foot infection before it can ever begin to take hold.

6. Sandals are usually more affordable. Okay, this one is for the practical-minded, but when it comes down to it, sandals are generally less costly than other types of shoes. It might have something to do with the fact that less material used equals less expense or it could just all be wishful thinking.

7. Try to beat the versatility of the sandal. Poolside, at the beach, backyard, or nowhere even close - just slip 'em on and slip 'em off. It's hard to beat the versatility provided by the always fashionable footwear.

8. Promote balance with sandals. It is really no surprise that sandals have been chosen to help increase and promote balance. Practitioners of yoga have even adapted sandals with individual straps between each toe to encourage an increased sense of balance in the art of yoga.

9. They're the original footwear from history. Sandals are time tested, having stood the test of time longer than any other form of footwear. The tennis shoe has been around for decades, the boot for centuries, but the sandal has been in use for millenniums. That must speak for something.

10. Sandals show expression. Sure, all kinds of shoes can be fashion-forward. However, no other form of footwear is as conducive to showing off a fun and funky sense of style and spirit like the sandal.

Everyone should know about Prada fashion. They are a fashion icon company that, during its early years, was known as a premier manufacturer of high quality leather bags.

Funded in Milan, Italy in 1913, they developed into what it is at present through the conception of Miuccia Prada, the founder's granddaughter.

This is one of the stories behind the success and growth of this world renowned company that only few people know about.

Gifted with the right skills and expertise, Miuccia revolutionized their products when she joined the company in 1978. She gave special attention to their appearance and the use of fabrics in extraordinary ways.

This led to the unprecedented growth of the company until it achieved its present worldwide status as one of the most renowned brands. Miuccia put the company further ahead when she introduced her own versions of women's wear. This was accepted by consumers around the world.

The year 1995 marked the launching of men's wear which was another spectacular success. This gave the company another place in the fashion world.

They were even given the opportunity to dress many of Hollywood's biggest stars such as Salma Hayek and Maggie Gyllenhall. Until now, they have remained a symbol of comfort, coolness, and minimalism.

They have captured another niche in the market when it expanded into designer fragrances. Amber Pour Homme Cologne is their cologne for men released in 2006. It also added a line of perfume for Ladies which made a big wave in the market.

With its almost 250 shops all over the world, they expect to take the total control over all its retail activities. To achieve this purpose, they have done away with transactions for franchising or with duty-free shops.

Most of its big stores can be found in New York, Beverly Hills, Milan, and Tokyo. Needless to say, Prada fashion is worldwide fashion.

Totally trendy, totally you! It's the jet-set open-toed pump with block heel and side cut-out detail.

Do you like taking long walks on the beach? Not for romantic reasons, but for exercise. Well, there's a new high tech shoe out there called MBT shoes that claims to mimic walking barefoot in the sand in order to give you all those same health benefits...working your legs, your glutes.

The shoes are called MBT, short for Masai Barefoot Technology. It is the first physiological footwear, meaning it benefits the whole structural system of the body, so it's not just working on the feet, but also working on the structural system like circulation and different muscle groups. Arguably, a shoe that is ideal for people with joints problems or those who want a fully body workout, or those that even want to remove cellulite. It doesn't feel like a workout, which is the beauty of the mbt shoe. All you have to do is wear it.

Designed by a Swiss engineer and inspired by the Masai tribes in Africa, The curved sole throws off the body's stability forcing you to balance on the center of your foot. It's basically a portable pilates, building core strength in your quads and your upper abdominals so your being held and as you wear them longer it's like you are in a constant mountain pose.

The MBT Shoes are a perfect partner for all of you that currently have a fitness walking program, or are thinking of beginning one. Walking obviously holds several benefits, but it still produces a lot of where and tear on the body. In fact, every step you take puts about 500 pounds of pressure on your feet. That's a lot of miles and a lot of pressure. Isn't it worth your while to get all the comfort and support you can?
