Sunnies


Lookbook-1
If you're anything likes us then as soon as spring's in sight, you start thinking about what sunglasses you're going to sport once the sky turns blue!

Thanks to an introduction to Megan Trimble, we knew what sunglasses we'd be buying come spring all the way back in December.

One half of independent eyewear brand Zanzan (Megan's creative partner is fellow creative Gareth Townshend), we couldn't help but get ridiculously excited about the beautiful and unusual sunglasses the duo create.

The idea to introduce a new eyewear brand came to Megan and Gareth in 2009. Deciding to call it Zanzan - a word that Maltese gangsters used to describe a snappy look back in the 60s - their sunglasses have a decidedly vintage feel.

Drawing on their flirtations with photography, fashion and design, the duo's frames standout with their decidedly English sensibility. "We share an appetite for culture in all its glorious guises and created Zanzan as an expression of this passion," explains Megan.

For SS11, the unusual colours that you see in Zanzan's frames come from acetate dating back to the 60s and 70s. They're the ultimate in limited-edition frames - handmade in extremely small numbers so you won't spot them on anyone else.
Office-1
Another thing we love about Zanzan? Their Soho-based office! Packed with too many exciting things to mention, it makes you realize just how much creative energy goes into making each frame. Want a pair? So do we!

Fashion designers vouch for viscose fabrics


To promote consumption and to propagate the inherent qualities of viscose yarn, the Association of Man-Made Fibre Industry in India (AMFII) organised a day long event - ‘Viscose Connect 2011’ in Surat, which concluded with a dazzling fashion show, presented by top-notch Fashion designers of India.

The morning session included interactions between the top officials of the three viscose filament yarn Manufacturer; Century Rayon, Kesoram Rayon and Indian Rayon and those from across the textile value-chain in Surat, which included weavers and embroiders.

These round-table deliberations were meant to inform the Surat textile value-chain about the properties of fabrics made from viscose filament yarn like very good water absorbency and eco-friendliness. They were also informed that, an array of woven fabric like crepe, georgette, satin, velvet and taffeta are manufactured using VFY, thus providing a complete fabric solution.

They were further told that, unlike most man-made fibres, rayon is not synthetic. It is made from wood pulp, a cellulosic based raw material which is naturally-occurring, bio-degradable and is a renewable resource. It is eco-friendly & similar to those of natural cellulosic fibres, such as cotton or linen, than those of other man-made fibres such as nylon or polyester

This was followed by the main event which began in the late evening in which around 300 of the who’s who from the Surat textile sector were invited. The welcome address was given by Vice-President of AMFII and also President of Century Rayon Ltd, Mr Chitlange.

He welcomed the audience by saying that this event has been first organised in Surat due to the fact that, the association of viscose yarn with Surat goes back to the late 50’s and early 60’s, as it was the first city to adopt and consume viscose filament yarn whole-heartedly. Consumption of polyester, silk and nylon followed later.

He added by saying’ “Our objective was to inform the textile value-chain in Surat about the unique properties of viscose like luster which is equivalent to silk, but is also absorbent like cotton. Fabrics made from viscose filament yarn are eco-friendly and skin-friendly. Considering the growing disposable incomes of the Indian consumer, we anticipate high demand for viscose fabrics in the near future”.
