Umbrella Bows to You

Polite Umbrella is a shrinkable umbrella that enables users to morph its shape in order to reduce occupied space and to increase user maneuverability. Users can easily adjust their umbrellas anytime by pulling a handle so that they can protect themselves from harsh winds or bumping into others.

The Uniform Project.

For The Uniform Project, Sheena Matheiken is wearing the same dress everyday for an entire year all in the name of charity and sustainable fashion. Each day, she "reinvents the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments".

Donations raised by this year-long project will be benefit the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots charity based in Mumbai, whose contributions go to fund uniforms and other school expenses for children in the slums of India.
