iTWYF, or I Touch With Your Fingers, are lined leather gloves that allow you to manipulate all of your portable electronics (iPods, cell phones, PDAs, video game units, etc..) in the cold, with ease and precision. Three special-function fingers on the leather gloves provide control, on the middle finger "like the tip of a stylus pen, the built-in stud allows you to touch and type on your LCD or plasma screens with precision without scratching.". The glove’s thumb has an adjustable Velcro band that frees the thumb to make or receive calls, etc.

+ A tip we got from Chantal at CubeMe got us thinking about what was new at Karim Rashid, and sure enough, there’s a lot (from top left); Kundalini Mandala Wall Light, new shoes for Melissa (lends new meaning to designer shoes), Dirt Devil Kone Hand Vac, Frighetto Vaska Couch, and Blip door handles for Martinelli.

+ Luis Alicandú, AKA Cacouno sends us Hot Chocolate. “From Venezuelan design couple Pablo Martinez and Carolina Aguerrevere, Hot Chocolate Design (click on Zapatos), a great line of lovely shoes ‘Chocolaticas’. Vintage & pop patterns, asymmetry, and ultra low weight makes them a beautiful and comfortable handmade shoe. Nice coin bags and purses too. It’s a pity that there are no men’s products and the website is in spanish only.”.

One could argue that sportswear has been at the root of a lot of fashion trends and increasingly so over the last decade. Formfitting, spandex, new fabrics, hybrid sports/leisure footwear/casualwear, the lines are blurring. I can only imagine what will happen now that Stella McCartney has launched her Adidas line... Via Reluct. UPDATE: Erika wrote us to say that Stella has had quite a few adidas collections already... that's the Spring Summer 2006 collection you see here.

+ Artefacture's Good Design t-shirt. Now available online. SMK

And with this post, the creation of a new MoCo category, Clothing. Harry
