A Pond Is A Designers Best Friend
Algae are a weed known to man and live in waterways, swamps and canals. Green algae are pesky for the many industries, such as Fisheries and related companies, simply because the massive amount of oxygen it will consume. But for the most part, Asian countries which are indigenous to algae, might have found an answer in the textile.
China has many factories on the drawing board for the different varieties of algae. These algae are used for a good substitute for fertilizers, and pigments. But the fashion industry will benefit most. Korea, for example is utilizing green algae for silk protein fibers protection. The silk is Larvae is also protein, however the chemical H3 (Helio) makeup is less dense for wrapping, thus becoming weaker. However, with the added algae in micro-form, the silk becomes ten times stronger, which is especially helpful in the Ahimsa silk manufacturing process.
Additionally, Thailand will be using the brown algae, currently being used in shaving creams, cosmetics, and dairy products as a thickening agent. Thailand has different plans for Brown algae. This Asian country will be extracting many properties for color pigmentation and dying of fabrics to replace chemicals now used. An alga converts nitrogen into ammonia which in turn is used for dyes in many materials. This will naturally dye fabric in use today. Although Thailand has a slight lead in this area, China having the largest algae population in the world happens to be at the right place at the right time for this project.
Finally, for nations and corporate competition to have an edge in today’s economic environment, the must keep the technological factor in check as well. The west is counting on these developing countries to participate in many of the source to consumer market endeavors. One thing is for sure retail is counting on them.

Silk It's Early History And How It Evolved
Silk is a natural protein fiber, some types of which can be woven and sewn into textiles. The most-known form of silk is cured from cocoons produced by the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx modi emerging from captivity (sericulture). The shine appearance in which silk is known comes from the fibers prism-like structure which allows silk material to refract incoming light at multiple positions.
"Wild silks" are produced by caterpillars other than the mulberry silkworm and may be artificially cultivated. A variety of silks have been known and used in China, Asia, and Europe since the begining of time, but the scale of production was much smaller than that of cultivated silks. They differ from the domesticated varieties in feel and color, and cocoons gathered in the wild usually have been damaged by the emerging moth just before the cocoons are collected, so the silk thread that makes up the cocoon has been ripped into shorter lengths. Commercially silkworm pupae are terminated by submerging them in boiling water before the adult moths emerge, or by piercing them with a needle, allowing the whole cocoon to be unravelled as one thread in succession. This allows a much stronger cloth to be woven from the silk. Wild silks also can be more difficult to dye than silk from the cultivated worms of silk origin.
There is evidence that small quantities of wild silk were being manufactured in the Mediterranean area and the Middle East by the time the stringent, cultivated silk from China began to be imported.
How is silk manufactured?
Silk production is a tedious and lengthy process that requires continuous supervising of the smallest of the details. To ensure the quality of silk, it is important to consider two conditions:
-Stop the moth from hatching.
-Setting the nutritional diet, on which the silkworms should eat.
The hatching of the eggs occurs at 75 degrees or so; the young silk worms feed heavily on the mulberry leaves and becomes almost 9,000 times their weight within 30 days. This feeding happens unless they have built up enough stamina to enter the ‘cocoon stage’. During this cycle, a jam like substance is formed in their silk glands which stiffen on contact with oxygen. These cocoons look like white oval puffs, kind of like cotton balls. After seven to ten days, these silk worms are terminated, by steaming or baking. When these cocoons are submerged into hot water, they become loose and open out into filaments which are string-like and unwound into a spool. Each strand is between 650 and 950 meters long. To get one silk thread, approximately six to eight filaments are twisted together; these silk threads are then weaved into cloth or used for embroidery work.
Types of silk fabrics
Charmeuse – This silk type is one of the most commonly recognized fabrics that are available in the marketplace today. It is typically characterized by its lustrous shine and sumptuous feel and is primarily used for the manufacture of shirts, dresses, eveningwear, nightgowns, lingerie, and gently shaped tops
Crepe de Chine or CDC – This type of silk has a ‘matte’ surface and a ‘pebbled’ texture; besides it is also very durable and does not wrinkle. Due to its lighter weight, it is a hot favorite among the designers and is primarily used for fashionable and sophisticated shirts, dresses, suits and evening wear. Great for those long dance night outings.
Filament silk - Made of single strands that vary in length, this agile knit fabric maximizes silk’s amazing ability to insulate your body and stomp out moisture. It is most known for its light in weight yet highly strong status. Its versatile and luxurious feel makes it ideal for the chic and opulent lingerie’s slips, and evening wraps. The natural spandexy quality of this fabric ensures all day comfort and is wonderful for beneath casual & business fashion.
Georgette – Georgette reminds one of crepe de Chine. It is soft and lustrous that falls easily and into soft ripples. It has a grainy texture and is utilized for the production of dresses, skirts, blouses, tops and evening wear.
Habutai – “Habutai”, defined as ‘soft and falling easily’ in Japanese was first used for the manufacture of Kimonos. It is light and soft, and lustrous with a very smooth drape and surface and is used for making coats, shirts, lingerie, suits, quilts, jacket insides, dresses and dresswear.

Spirits: Nylon - If you are removing red wine from your nylon make sure you blot it first with a cloth. Continue quickly with warm water a small amount of vinegar and detergent for 15 minutes to 20 minutes. After that, rub the material against itself. If you still see wine there, let the material dry then add rubbing alcohol and re wash. Of course apply the alcohol to a cloth then to the stained garment.
Silk - Alcohol stains demand immediate attention. Fresh alcohol stains vanish if sponged several times with
warm water. If not taken care of immediately, the alcohol stain will turn brown. If your stain has turned brown, dampen it and rub glycerin into it. After a half hour, rinse it off with warm water. For more stubborn alcohol stains, sponge the area with a solution of equal parts denatured alcohol and ammonia. Do not forget to rinse the area thoroughly in warm water when you're finished.

then thoroughly rinse it with warm water. A less stubborn chocolate stain can be removed by spraying it with
dry-cleaning fluids and hydrogen peroxide. Use sodium Meta silicate as a last resort.

solvent with 1 tablespoon baking soda. Then Re wash on gentle cycle.

Science And Fashion In Today's Marketplace
It seems like new high technology is taking over the board rooms in today’s fashion businesses. Shops, email-mail order conglomerates, manufacturers and distributors are finding an ever-growing market for apparel, ranging from non wrinkle dress shirts that will hold a crease all day and night to jackets that are lightweight but hold in bio heat and block wind movement.
"These will become my new work uniform”, said John Kerry of Workplace Mechanics, after being soiled with transmission fluid.
"Clients keep telling us they want more of these products," says Daniel Rossi, VP merchandising for ShirtsGoneWild of UK based shopping giant specializing in Men’s designer shirts and women’s tops known for their everyday buy 1 get 1 free offers.
They're getting that in a vast many ways:
Many manufacturers such as Malden Mills out of Massachusetts are retailing and wholesaling synthetic fabrics. These wrinkle-free fabrics are the wave of the future. They make over 200 different synthetic materials for fashion mongers. Levi Strauss has even expanded their lines in this growing field of comfort and the “Just put it on” look. Most of these efforts are in place because of the motivation of performance fabrics.
These have come from mainly the outdoor group of purchasing individuals for the need to have strong clothing when rock climbing and other adventurous demanding fun venues. Now we are seeing these meshing with the street clothes of the now crowd.
The mains difference between wrinkle free and no iron fabrics is time. Usually no iron will last bit longer. While the descriptions sound similar, there is a difference. It can be seen in how the shirt looks eight hours after you put it on your body.
Changing the structure of manufacturing is the difference. Wrinkle-free materials are treated before cutting and sewing to give it a cloth that won't wrinkle, but will lose its crease and crisp-looking appearance.
No-iron shirts get cut first then are treated afterwards for a smooth feel and look. They are made to be worn from the dryer, and regain their freshness by spending time on a hangar or line. The idea is easy care clothing. People just want to eliminate dry cleaning. Ask any teenager or 20 something how often they take a trip to the dry cleaners in the neighborhood.
Companies like DuPont are and have been treating clothing with chemicals, but what is different is new green companies such as ShirtsGoneWild offering Bamboo and ahimsa silk treated with a natural glycerin based no-iron treatment. Chemicals derived from natural entities are definitely the way to go. On the other hand, he says. Some companies are offering Nano wrap around which are sprayed onto the clothing. This will maintain the same feel as when it was in its original state. The objective is to be attractive but practical.
Most people nowadays are wash n go types. Business dictates what one need for garb. Most just want to get to their respective hotels and hang everything up and be done with it. The only problem is who can have a budget of $99.95 for a shirt that’s no wrinkle or no iron. Tshirtsgonewild and lands end are the top 2 in this department. Some of their shirts are have spill can travel. Just wipe it off and you’re out the door.
.Many products on today’s market are made from 2.5 layers to 3.0. These are waterproof and have a breathing layer connected to the shell of the main material. What this comes to as an end result is fabric and treatment. This is where the mind of fashion is at this moment in regard to this high-tech fashion in dress and casual wear. Fortunately, there isn’t any limit to advances in technology.

What To Wear At The Fitness Club
For some, it isn’t just getting up in the early hours of the morning to get on that treadmill, go to Zumba class, practice yoga or hit the weights. No, the real question is “What do I wear?” Being an avid fitness person, I have compiled some good possibilities for your workout garb.
Let’s start with the obvious: T-shirts and pants.
When you exercise, you should wear loose-fitting T-shirts that allow you to move freely. In the summer, wearing lighter color tones will help you keep nice and cool. Dark tones tend to trap light. In the winter this works well. Wear layers when it is chilly outside with hoodies to keep warm. It is good to wear baseball caps for shade in sunny weather, and wool caps in the winter to keep your head and body warm. Do not wear plastic clothing, as these will keep you too hot and will not let any heat or sweat escape.
Sneakers are extremely important. Make sure they are well made and fit you correctly. Leave 1 inch in front of your toe or half an inch from your longest toe. Use supports or cushioned soles. If you run a lot get the salesperson in the store to help. They can be knowledgeable. Remember: Wearing the wrong footwear can hurt your feet.
Socks are also important because they absorb sweat and protect you from blisters. Sprinkling powder or starch is great for shoe odor! Lastly, if you go snowboarding or bike riding wear a helmet. It's the middle of a year, and most probably people have promised themselves, they will exercise more. Whether you train with weights or are doing a marathon training having the right workout fashion can make it easier to stay committed to an exercise regimen.
Let's go over what not to wear to the gym.
Do not wear clothes too big or oversized. By default when we know we're going to perspire, is typically to put on the most worn out, relaxed casual clothes we own. That is what some men do. Others more fashion aware, use nice fitting kind of loose apparel.
With women, the first step is to get the best fitting sports bra. The best way to figure it out is to do the jump test. Jump up and down and if your breasts move easily you have the wrong one. Do not forget to change bras as you sculpt your body because it will change as you lose weight. Assess this ever few months. What do you wear over your sports bra? That depends both on what kind of exercise you're doing and on what you are comfortable wearing. T-shirts are great, as long as they fit; seams should hit at your shoulders from corner to corner, and the hem shouldn’t be longer than your waist. Over sized tees are ok but not parachute fitted tees. Look also for fabrics that absorb moisture, particularly if your gym is hot, or if you are running or walking in hot weather.
Choose pants with enough room to move about in, but don't purchase saggy, sweats. Draw-string or elastic waist yoga pants or jogging suit bottoms work well. They are wonderful for yoga. For Pilates use a slimmer cut, since your toes are facing the ceiling. Always wash and take care of your workout garb. Wash them in cold water and let air dry whenever possible.
This should give you some idea of what is good fashion at a fitness club or gym. The most important factor when working out is your comfort.
Don’t forget that after all - At the end of the day our body is our temple.

First Date Fashion-What to wear on a first date
…well that depends where your date is decided to be. Let us break this down for you ladies and gents:
Oh yes, how exciting is the thought of a first date, it holds the hype of someone new, exuberant, exciting and hopefully an emotional beginning of a wonderful time. Of course, the first date also can come with a certain amount of stress because you want to impress him or her in every way possible while also genuinely enjoying your night out. Marketing guru’s say that today’s males are probably more concerned with appearing well-groomed and dressed, than men were in the previous years, plus having a lot to think about while planning the big first date - so wondering what garb to wear should be the last thing on your mind.
To help you get a grip on a first-date wardrobe, we’ve combined a few of the most common first-date scenario’s and what one should wear in each situation. We don’t want you to be under dressed or too dressed for that matter. With today’s hottie looks, it is imperative to have first class fashion on a first date, this will give your personality a chance to shine a bit more. On first dates, the first impression will usually carry the rest of the outing so it is vital to make sure it isn’t botched.
The main objective of this article is to give you some fashion sense for that special first date, so that you don’t over or under dress. One of the most important things to remember is to be comfortable so your personality can be fluent and as natural as usual. Always select your clothing with passion. And if the date doesn’t work out for you, you will at least be comfortable with yourself. There’s always someone else that will match your criteria. There is someone for everyone. Just make sure she is a lady not a woman - there definitely is a difference.
In a restaurant
Make sure you think about where to go to eat and what type of restaurant it is. High-end or casual locations need to be pre-empted in one’s mind. If it’s a chic looking establishment, make sure the proper suit is in order, and do not forget those dress shoes. Having said that, if you’re going to a two hundred dollar a plate eatery and you are wearing sneakers and shorts, your chances are slim, for an end of evening hot night cap. (First time out isn’t a good idea to have her thinking you’re off center)
It seems that some men do go overboard to impress on that infamous first date. It is true, that it will probably be a nice restaurant, not the ritziest but pretty upscale. The best trousers to wear are JoeyJ or Prada. They fit so well and hide any flaws. Upstairs, a man should wear a nice well fitted dress shirt by Gucci or Luigi Borrelli which will give you that classy and refined look. As far as shoes are concerned, no sneakers, but stylish loafers will do the trick. Ferragamo is always a winner. Make sure they are neat and clean and shined up if they aren’t new.
At the movies
Of course there also are the movies; which is sometimes protocol on the first date. So if you’re usually a good dresser, apply your effort to being dressed down a bit. Let’s be honest about it, you aren’t starring in the movie. On the other hand, some of you guy’s dont dress up enough. Since you are setting a kind of precedence for the future, you want to look somewhat tailored. So the trick is to look good but not to overdo it.
Basically dress in a comfortable manner, so to just look good for her. If you choose to wear a pair of jeans to the movies,
If you’re a bit chilly, a nice JoeyJ sports jacket or blazer will do the job to complete your look. But make sure your colors offset each other. (If you’re wearing green jacket, go a shade lighter in the shirt or wear black)
In the night life
Some also choose the night spots on a first date. Casual is best and add some unusual elements to your garb. Remember, you are there to have fun, so a nice relaxed look is in order. For bars or dancing, forget about putting on edgy accessories. Look simplified and wear a pair of jeans and a nice sweater or cardigan pair it with a striped shirt, and unusual colors with a jacket. Don’t wear too many layers, because you will be sweating most of the night. 100% cotton is a good choice because it shows structure, has a very casual flair and of course is comfortable. Blazers always work well too, if they are solid in color.
Stand out in the crowd whenever possible. Leather shoes will finish the look. White, Tan or Black is the correct choice.
In the park
Of course, you won’t be wearing a zoot suit to a picnic, or to the park. Sneakers, with shorts and a well groomed look is what women like. Clean nails are always in. Do not bring along friends - it’s a killer situation. Instead, focus on your date and wear colors that stand out in a park, like blue. You will be outdoors, so, khaki shorts are a must. Ralph Lauren makes the nicest pair of shorts and is well known to ladies. Polo shirts by Hugo Boss are a nice finishing touch. Nice brown sandals are a cool choice and are easy to take off on a picnic blanket. Banana republic has a nice selection.
Cheese and wine always works. Do not forget the chocolate either.
Before you go out to that club open your closet first
How imperative is your fashion that you wear in a nice nightclub? Ignoring the fact, that you won’t even get in the establishment, if you wear incorrect apparel. Wearing the RIGHT clothes can be the difference in you spending the night, stirring up conversation with hotties or being stuck at the bar, as popular as a monk in a disco. Yes, people, it’s really that dire.
The official dress code for most high end nightclubs is listed as stylish attire. Don’t forget stylish to one person is a clown to another. It would be a good cognitive move, to make sure you dress to get received by the doorman with impression, rather than get rejected before you even get in, capische?
It is a good idea not to look like an idiot. So don’t dress like your neighbor ladies and gents. Just because they look Goth doesn’t mean you’re going to a party at a cemetery.
Women should wear comfortable shoes and keep them on all night and not taking them off and holding them in their hands, because of discomfort. Women spend hours applying makeup to look the part and seems silly for one to have the drunk and disorderly look.
Week nights are usually for tourists, but make sure when you go with people, that you don’t match any of your friends. It’s time to stand out. Most of these men will wear long sleeve shirts, folded up and open buttoned shirts. Thin black ties are wonderful for setting you apart from your counterparts. Sports coats go over well on the west coast and Vegas. Whatever you do, don’t look like you’re part of the team.
Most hot spots frown upon t-shirts, and is not a good idea. It does not mean you will not see anyone with one on. Rules are usually bent for known clients, so if you don’t know the door guy, wear a nice jacket and be creative. Dress pants are fine in any club, but you don’t want to look stuffy by any means,Armani and Diesel are good for most clubs. JoeyJ or Tommy Bahama silk shirts are great for the casual relaxed look. Savoir Fair is important at most clubs or nicer upper eschelon pubs.
As I stated before above, jeans are definitely fine to wear and acceptable at most clubs or pubs. Just make sure the jeans are neat and tidy with no sags or have a baggy look.
What To Wear On Your First Date
…well that depends where your date is decided to be. Let us break this down for you ladies and gents:
Oh yes, how exciting is the thought of a first date, it holds the hype of someone new, exuberant, exciting and hopefully an emotional beginning of a wonderful time. Of course, the first date also can come with a certain amount of stress because you want to impress him or her in every way possible while also genuinely enjoying your night out. Marketing guru’s say that today’s males are probably more concerned with appearing well-groomed and dressed, than men were in the previous year’s; plus having a lot to think about while planning the big first date - so wondering what garb to wear should be the last thing on your mind.
To help you get a grip on a first-date wardrobe, we’ve combined a few of the most common first-date scenario’s and what one should wear in each situation. We don’t want you to be undressed or too dressed for that matter. With today’s hottie looks, it is imperative, to have first class fashion on a first date, this will give your personality a chance to shine a bit more. On first dates, the first impression will usually carry the rest of the outing so it is vital to make sure it isn’t botched.
The main objective of this article is to give you some fashion sense for that special first date, so that you don’t over or under dress. One of the most important things to remember is to be comfortable so your personality can be fluent and as natural as usual. Always select your clothing with passion. And if the date doesn’t work out for you, you will at least be comfortable with yourself. There’s always someone else that will match your criteria. There is someone for everyone. Just make sure she is a lady not a woman - there definitely is a difference.
In a restaurant
Make sure you think about where to go to eat and what type of restaurant it is. High-end or casual locations need to be pre-empted in one’s mind. If it’s a chic looking establishment, make sure the proper suit is in order, and do not forget those dress shores. Having said that, if you’re going to a two hundred dollar a plate eatery and you are wearing sneakers and shorts, your chances are slim, for an end of evening hot night cap. (First time out isn’t a good idea to have her thinking you’re off center)
It seems that some men do go overboard to impress on that infamous first date. It is true, that it will probably be a nice restaurant, not the ritziest but pretty upscale. The best trousers to wear are JoeyJ or Prada. They fit so well and hide any flaws. Upstairs, a man should wear a nice well fitted dress shirt by Gucci or Luigi Borrelli which will give you that classy and refined look. As far as shoes are concerned, no sneakers, but stylish loafers will do the trick. Ferragamo is always a winner. Make sure they are neat and clean and shined up if they aren’t new.
At the movies
Of course there also are the movies; which is sometimes protocol on the first date. So if you’re usually a good dresser, apply your effort to being dressed down a bit. Let’s be honest about it, you aren’t starring in the movie. On the other hand, some of you guy’s dont dress up enough. Since you are setting a kind of precedence for the future, you want to look somewhat tailored. So the trick is to look good but not to overdo it.
Basically dress in a comfortable manner, so to just look good for her. If you choose to wear a pair of jeans to the movies, True Religion is the best pick. Toss on a Tommy Bahama embroidered silk shirt and match your theme.
If you’re a bit chilly, a nice JoeyJ sports jacket or blazer will do the job to complete your look. But make sure your colors offset each other. (If you’re wearing green jacket, go a shade lighter in the shirt or wear black)
In the night life
Some also choose the night spots on a first date. Casual is best and add some unusual elements to your garb. Remember, you are there to have fun, so a nice relaxed look is in order. For bars or dancing, forget about putting on edgy accessories. Look simplified and wear a pair of jeans and a nice sweater or cardigan pair it with a striped shirt, and unusual colors with a jacket. Don’t wear too many layers, because you will be sweating most of the night. 100% cotton is a good choice because it shows structure, has a very casual flair and of course is comfortable. Blazers always work well too, if they are solid in color.
Stand out in the crowd whenever possible. Leather shoes will finish the look. White, Tan or Black is the correct choice.
In the park
Of course, you won’t be wearing a zoot suit to a picnic, or to the park. Sneakers, with shorts and a well groomed look is what women like. Clean nails are always in. Do not bring along friends - it’s a killer situation. Instead, focus on your date and wear colors that stand out in a park, like blue. You will be outdoors, so, khaki shorts are a must. Ralph Lauren makes the nicest pair of shorts and is well known to ladies. Polo shirts by Hugo Boss are a nice finishing touch. Nice brown sandals are a cool choice and are easy to take off on a picnic blanket. Banana republic has a nice selection.
Cheese and wine always works. Do not forget the chocolate either.
Before you go out to that club open your closet first
How imperative is your fashion that you wear in a nice nightclub? Ignoring the fact, that you won’t even get in the establishment, if you wear incorrect apparel. Wearing the RIGHT clothes can be the difference in you spending the night, stirring up conversation with hotties or being stuck at the bar, as popular as a monk in a disco. Yes, people, it’s really that dire.
The official dress code for most high end nightclubs is listed as stylish attire. Don’t forget stylish to one person is a clown to another. It would be a good cognitive move, to make sure you dress to get received by the doorman with impression, rather than get rejected before you even get in, capische?
It is a good idea not to look like an idiot. So don’t dress like your neighbor ladies and gents. Just because they look Goth doesn’t mean you’re going to a party at a cemetery.
Women should wear comfortable shoes and keep them on all night and not taking them off and holding them in their hands, because of discomfort. Women spend hours applying makeup to look the part and seems silly for one to have the drunk and disorderly look.
Week nights are usually for tourists, but make sure when you go with people, that you don’t match any of your friends. It’s time to stand out. Most of these men will wear long sleeve shirts, folded up and open buttoned shirts. Thin black ties are wonderful for setting you apart from your counterparts. Sports coats go over well on the west coast and Vegas. Whatever you do, don’t look like you’re part of the team.
Most hot spots frown upon t-shirts, and is not a good idea. It does not mean you will not see anyone with one on. Rules are usually bent for known clients, so if you don’t know the door guy, wear a nice jacket and be creative. Dress pants are fine in any club, but you don’t want to look stuffy by any means,Armani and Diesel are good for most clubs. JoeyJ or Tommy Bahama silk shirts are great for the casual relaxed look. Savoir Fair is important at most clubs or nicer upper eschelon pubs.
As I stated before above, jeans are definitely fine to wear and acceptable at most clubs or pubs. Just make sure the jeans are neat and tidy with no sags or have a baggy look.
