Uniqlo

Sweaters aren't just for the ski slopes anymore!

Uniqlo just made keeping warm during this chilly Spring easier with the fabulous HeatTech range of clothing: given that over 20 million units of the clothing have sold in Japan, the company must be doing something right. Now for the science bit... not only does the clothing retain heat (through air pockets between the fibres) but when the fabric absorbs your body moisture, the movement of the droplets generates even more heat, making the clothes ideal for layering up on those chilly days.

As if that weren't enough, the fabric contains natural amino acids from milk protein for soft smoothness and comes in the trademark Uniqlo range of colours.

Levi's Indigo line

Levi's Indigo line will have you feeling anything but blue...

Levi's launched what they call "a new blueprint in denim" via their Indigo line of t-shirts and jeans some time ago, but have been keeping the line updated with new cuts and styles. The t-shirts come in a variety of patterns but it's the range of jeans that are most likely to cause a stir.

Levi's Misses Pencil Jean 542 has a low rise and slim fit that's cut clean, close, and straight from hip to ankle, and is 99% cotton with 1% spandex for the perfect fit that hugs your shape.

Boasting lighter material and a range of indigo dyes that will benefit from washing in any kind of water, the unisex denim can currently be found in Levi's stores around the world. They made a great impression in Asia by getting Fiona Sit and Pak Ho to model the line, but you don't need controversy when you've got a great product.

Clubs in London picked up on the popularity of this music and started to provide venues where young working class people could go to and dance. The youngsters who were attracted to by this style of music would naturally imitate their idols kicking off a trend of always dressing very stylish. Fashion was of most importance to these working class people who were known as the Mods...
