SANDAL COLLAB OF THE WEEK

Remember the ’90s, when JuJu jelly shoes were the hottest footwear option around for the summer? Well, even if you missed it first time, you can still claim the look courtesy of the new collaboration between the brand and internet/fashion legend Cassette Playa, aka Carri Munden. Carri has designed two glittery jelly styles for the label, one in blue and the other in pink, adding her trademark CP twist with printed decals. The collab has been so popular that it’s even sparked a Twitter war between Azealia Banks‘ and Rita Ora‘s fans over who wore it first!
INTERACTIVE MEDIA OF THE WEEK

3D Printing is a big deal right now. So far, we’ve seen shoes, fabrics, and even working guns created—but architect/designer Xuedi Chen has really taken things to the next level, printing mossy accessories after being inspired by cordyceps, a parasitic, insect-eating fungus. Yeah. Seriously. The Invasive Growth series was 3D printed using live moss, creating organic neck and head pieces for a n̶a̶t̶u̶r̶a̶l̶ weird take on modern accessorising.
FASHION FILM OF THE WEEK

Everyone knows cars make the perfect accessory, so really you shouldn’t be driving anything less than the best ride around—check out ‘The Egoist’ by Lamborghini, a supercar that doesn’t even try to be subtle in showing how utterly, ridiculously OTT it is. Designed for “hyper-sophisticated people who want only the extreme and special things in the world”, key details include a 5.2-litre V10, neon leather surfaces and an interior modeled after a fighter jet. Best of all, it only seats one person, so you don’t have to share the experience with any un-cool passengers. Phew.
