Industrial designer Naomi Kizhner has developed a concept for an invasive jewellery
collection that converts kinetic energy from the body’s involuntary movements
into electricity.
Naomi Kizhner designed the Energy Addicts accessories in response to the world’s
impending energy crisis, looking for an existing energy source that is yet to be
tapped in to.
“It interested me to imagine what would the world be like once it has experienced
a steep decline in energy resources and how we will feed our energy addiction,”
Kizhner told Dezeen.
“There are lots of developments of renewable energy resources, but the human body
is a natural resource for energy that is constantly renewed, as long as we are alive.”
“Technologically we are not too far away from these ideas becoming a
reality,” said Kizhner. “But practically speaking, will we be willing to
sacrifice our bodies in order to produce more energy?
My intention is to provoke a discussion.”

A Peak into Spring/Summer 2015 – Jewelry Trends
Sure it’s barely Fall, but it can’t hurt taking a peak into the trends evolving for 2015. Ready? (LOVE the feather watch.)
The slogan bracelet at Chanel. Chanel’s fashion riot for Spring/Summer 2015 saw bangles in silver and brightly colored leather with the same on-trend demo slogans that the girls brandished in the finale, including “Make Fashion Not War”, “Oser Sans Poser” and “Ladies First”. Karl Lagerfeld and the Chanel girls wore their hearts on their sleeves.
The retro hoops at Louis Vuitton With denim flares, high-waists and glossy leather, the high-shine of the disk earrings designed by Camille Miceli caught the lights of the runway at the Spring/Summer 2015 show. It was back to the future with these hoops, that brought the allure of 1970s icon.
The ring stack at Valentino In an invitation to travel next Summer, the creative duo behind Valentino peppered Spring/Summer 2015 looks with marine symbols. Coral, shells and sea urchins replaced last summer’s signs of the zodiac, translating into sun-bright rings to mix and match all season.
The feather watch at Fendi Accessories picked up on the same Spring/Summer 2015 themes as the clothes at Fendi, as the orchid motif featured on low-slung ponytails and denim blue popped up on oversized knotted leather cuffs. As if by magic, the delicate feathers of light bustier dresses also appeared around watches.
