Why should any fashion go to waste when it can be recycled?

Two years ago, Swedish fashion brand H&M launched a recycling campaign where they asked shoppers to donate unwanted and unused clothes, by any brand, and in return they would get a voucher. Well, that initiative has now led to Close The Loop, a new collection made from recycled clothing.

Featuring new denim styles that cater to men, women and children, each item in the collection is made of 20 percent recycled fabric and 80 percent organic cotton (although H&M promises that in the future this will be 100 percent). Check out the campaign's video below featuring punk icon Iggy Pop.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

This steampunk-themed cafe makes the meme cool again

Now, maybe I'm as tired of steampunk as you guys, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend something like this isn't cool. Located in the Romanian city of Cluj, Enigma claims to be "the world's first kinetic steampunk bar." I don't know if that's true, but the place looks pretty dope with all the dynamic art installations. [h/t: Colossal ]
