1. LANA DEL RAY'S 'VIDEO GAMES'
She is also the self-proclaimed ‘gangsta Nancy Sinatra’ and Lana Del Ray’s debut single Video games is one of our favourites this season. With her husky, alluring voice and the old Hollywood melancholic notes of the song, it’s a rage on the internet with over 18 million views on Youtube. And we can’t stop listening to it! Her debut album ‘Born to Die’ has singles like ‘Blue Jeans’ and ‘Born to Die’ which are again very typical to this indie hipstress’s sound.
2. GREEN THE GAP COLLECTIVE
Launched in 2008 by Delhi-based NGO Swechcha Green the Gap is an enterprise which upcycles waste into a vast collection of myriad accessories like handbags,clutches, wallets, pouches , office materials and even t-shirts. The purposes served are many while staying true to idea of a fresh, kitschy and extremely cool fashion. While propagating awareness about recycling and going green on the planet , which in itself is a bold move the collective also looks at opening avenues for underpriviledged artisans. The raw material could be anything from trashed jute, fabric and trims, juice and milk tetra packs, even rubber tyres and the result is a unique piece of design and innovation genius. The website offers customization of products to your liking too and the store is located in te posh Haus Khas Village os South Delhi. Besides, as we write this, their facebook page boasts of upcycled merchandise produced by the inmates of Asia's biggest Prison - Tihar Jail and also upcycling of the waste generated by the Jail. Way to go guys!
