Items from  Opening Ceremony’s collaborative effort with Chloe Sevigny have arrived at retail, and at Colette include this retro-inspired track jacket, which features a big “Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony” logo on the back. This one is leopard, but it’s also available in houndstooth and black. See more on the next page. [UPDATE: Claw points out that while the tracks jacket shown here is awfully nice, that's in part because the design--including fonts--is alarmingly similar to a line she designed in 2009! Check the gallery on the next page to see how the two designs compare.]

Artist Karen Ingham  took on the ambitious project of saving the shrinking populations of bees and other pollinators, by creating “Pollinator Frocks,” a series of apparel  treated with a nectar-like sugar solution that will attracts and nourish bees and the like.  She even created outfits for separate occasions: day-wear to draw bees and butterflies and evening-wear for nocturnal critters such as moths. While the poetry of having butterflies on my dress can seduce me, I don’t know about being  surrounded by moths? But it is for the good of the earth. Moths don’t bite. A look at the fabrics on the flip while the video explains the process more in detail.Via Ecouterre.

Via Nowness: A jet-propelled robot, a beaming sun god and an impish spider are not the likeliest of characters to embody the ultra-luxurious world of Chanel, but Peter Philips, the innovative mind behind them, has made his name pursuing the unexpected. Chanel’s Global Creative Director of Makeup took a break from conceptualizing cosmetic gold to don the animator’s cap for today’s short, a work inspired by a series of headdresses he crafted from beauty product packaging for a Vogue Paris shoot. Built from a trove of compacts, glosses, brushes and more, Philips’s characters embark on a journey that begins with a lipstick-powered automaton blasting through the clouds and ends on more familiar ground, with a model whose chic ensemble channels Mme Chanel herself. Philips came to the task with the requisite technical skills, having studied graphic design before attending Antwerp’s Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts. But he did concede on one creative point—the music. “If it were up to me it would have been disco,” he confesses.
