Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse would be pretty envious at the sight of the snazzy feather headdresses at Urban Outfitters made in collaboration with the hip London East End label Bitching and Junkfood. Stylistically poised somewhere between the Roaring Twenties, Royal Wedding and Pocahontas, the three designs would work well in a club, at a festival of your choice, as well as at an intimate pow-wow.

The statement by the Swedish label Fillippa K that they are offering 'Six dresses in a limited edition of 60 each' at first sounds like an aesthetic mechanism from the world of art rather than a profit-orientated fashion business.

Now that the topic of jeans has been dealt with in the realms of film and music the Stockholm fashion label Tiger of Sweden has taken it one step further by asking nine young Swedish dance talents to get physical, interpreting a track specially composed for the ambitious project “Denim Moves”. Kitted out with the latest trouser styles, in all, eleven artists dance the soul of the blue gold in nine different choreographies.
