Fashion made of culture and nature

Fashionoffice has collected some pieces that are fashionably new and much grounded - in culture or nature, or both.

It seems as if thinking contemporary fashion diminishes noticeably the difference between nature and culture: the watch collects money for projects on the environment, the shirt is produced eco-friendly, the purchase of the hair care box supports the cultivation of healthy nutrition.

'Tofu' t-shirt and denim 5-pocket jeans from the Jeremy Scott collection by Adidas SVLR, SS2011. The overall Adidas SVLR SS2011 collection is inspired by modern sportswear and classical New England style. Jeremy Scott has designed a collection in the collection like the Tofu shirt with bold letters and jeans with a fun appeal on this page.

The photos of the new collection are taken by Paris born and Central Saint Martins, London educated photographer Karim Sadli. Together with stylist Jay Massacret, Sadli created a summerly fresh mood. Adidas SLVR states that the creative heads of the label continue "to evolve, reflecting the tone and pace of today's world. It stresses the importance of living, working and designing in smarter and more efficient ways."
