Technology and art, the two may seem like opposite ends of the creative spectrum, but they really aren’t so far apart form each other, especially where Andy Warhol is concerned! The giant of 20th-century art was actually a gadget fiend, and consistently championed the involvement of technology in the art world.
So it makes total sense that Incase would put some of his most iconic artwork on their innovative designs. Choose from several case and sleeve designs for your iPad, iPhone, and laptop for the ultimate merger of modernity. The hard part will be choosing a print; the Velvet Underground and Nico album cover, the anti-camouflage Camouflage, the timeless Dollar Signs…which one(s)? Take a page out of Warhol’s book — “We live in a world where we do not notice change; therefore what does change only enhances itself a little more each day.” It’s the perfect argument to get them all!

For FPD’s eco-conscious readers who are consistently torn between saving the planet and doing it stylishly, you’re in for a treat. LooptWorks was launched in September 2009, when some apparel industry veterans merged Pacific Northwest eco-sensibilities with their love of fashion. The line takes the top-quality scraps from big fashion brands and creates cool, contemporary separates. The city girl with an outdoorsy heart can find sleek hoodies, menswear-inspired shirts, jackets with playful pops of plaid and whimsical graphic tees that retail from $24-$180. Done in half the time, with half the resources, the finished product is a hand-numbered collectible that’s one of about 500. Better yet, each piece is double-needle and triple-needle stitched to last way into next season.
There are some crafty accessories too, like laptop sleeves made from upcycled wetsuit material (a match for Ra’mon’s avant-garde neoprene dress from Project Runway’s Season 6, perhaps?)
LooptWorks has inspired us to coin a new adage: one man’s scraps is another’s sartorial savvy.
