There is lots of cool fashion out there, but much of it comes with the accessibility of Lego blocks? Carrie Parry’s new line of modular eco-fashion purports to do just that.
Her debut collection, codenamed “Mrs. Montague,” is an interesting concept. Each and every piece was designed with interchangeability in mind. Mixing and matching is the name of the game here, like a puzzle. Bows, cuffs, and collars can be added or subtracted at will to make some cool, and personal, looks.
On the eco-friendly tip, an array of related textiles were used in the creation of line. These ranged from organic cotton, cupro, recycled polyester and more. Carrie Parry will be kicking off Bloomingdale’s Earth Day celebrations with a show featuring the designs at its SoHo location from April 14 to 17.

Voltaic Systems is the king of solar powered wearable tech, so it comes as no surprise that they would extend their energetic arm to the world of iPads. But, not just Apple’s tablet baby. The Spark Tablet Case also powers other tablets, including the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The product offers a 1:1 energy ratio, and promises 1 hour of power for your favorite tablet with one hour of solar charging. No more hunting out there in the wild for a power outlet. Now you can go out there and hunt for the sun, which is considerably easier. Unless, of course, you live in Greenland or the dark side of the moon.
The case offers some soft padding so your pad won’t get dinged up by all of that energy. ..read more

About 9 months ago, Voltaic announced that they would be creating a solar bag that would be able to generate enough juice to power a notebook. It seems like this ambitious project might be coming to fruition.
The lofty ambitions of Voltaic would make this the most powerful solar bag on the market. A tall 17w of power generation comes from cutting edge solar cells that are super efficient. So far the Voltaic shop says coming soon but the MoMA store shows it for $598 and available August 30th!
We sit impatiently to see if this bag can deliver on the promise it made. If in fact it does perform as advertised, this would be a huge step in solar tech. We are rooting for you Voltaic!
