Move Over Locavore, Traceability Is In Town

Food activists around the country who petition for the use of shopping local have adopted the omnivores idiom into their daily conversations, like sustainability, biodynamic, organic, seasonal, and the newest term, “traceability”, which refers to the food’s journey from farm to grocer to home. This, in turn, provides even more reason for the foodies to be neurotic, albeit correct in their fueled debate that local is better than not. Pushing the movement forward, NY Mag provided readers with a shopping list of places that cater to this sort of consumer-aware shopping. And, it’s quite good.

PERFORMANCE ART FASHION

"The dynamic design team better known as Vilsbøl de Arce take on proportion, seemingly inflated swimwear and performance art costuming."

The two young designers, Prisca Vilsbøl and Pia de Arce, who attended Copenhagen Fashion & Design School, quickly fell into each other's good graces when they realized that their visual concepts aligned almost perfectly. The duo, who now go by Vilsbøl de Arce, design using natural textiles and leathers. "The materials are often chosen to enhance a given shape, so they have more of a function than an actual aestetic. Classic weaves that give the necessary stifness, stretch or drape, without taking focus away from the design. We love rummiging for the best qualities in naturel fibres or leather," the duo says.



They recently showed at Copenhagen Fashion Week in early August, and continue to expand their line.

IGGY POP "PRELIMINARIES"

Forget everything you thought you knew about Iggy Pop. The muscularly petite singer, best known for dishing out punk-infused tracks, channels a sultrier side on his newest album, Preliminaries. Everything from French singing that alludes to artists like Serge Gainsbourg to Tom Waits-style influences, makes this completely different from anything he's done. The outcome? Amazing.
