There’s nothing like mixing some of the glam with the real on the ground stuff and French eco trainer brand Veja have done just that. With a collection of gorgeous photography from the very talented Florent Dermarchez who followed Veja’s founders, Francois and Sebastian around as they went about speaking to their suppliers in the heart of the Amazonian rainforest. But it’s not just trees to ogle: there’s colorful photography of the ‘seringeuiros’ (rubber tappers) who go about their business naturally collecting the wild rubber that is used to create the soles of these very soulful trainers. The exhibition also reveals new initiatives such as their organic cotton developments where they work with farmers who use natural deterrents rather than pesticides, and tanneries that are dyeing leather using Acacha and other vegetable extracts in the Northeast of Brail. The exhibition offers a fabulous insight into the company’s driving question: ‘is another world possible?' Demarchez’s fabulous ‘Novo Mundo’ exhibition is currently showing at East London’s very trendy Favela Chic until the 30th March 2009, so catch it whilst you can.

Even you try to "average" the exposure, a compromise between the light and dark areas, the shadows tend to go black and the highlights are washed out.

Manufacturing (from Latin manu factura, "making by hand") is the use of tools and labor to make things for use or sale. The term may refer to a vast range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but here we use it in reference to the process of producing clothes out of fabrics, both on a big scale (mass production) as on a small scale (community...
