So being empowered is cool, but how about generating your own power? Late last year one of our Christmas desires was the Logan bag from Noon Solar. It wasn't the prettiest thing in the world but I thought it was pretty cool. Today I stumbled (thanks boing boing) on C'N'C CoSTUME NATIONAL's take on the idea, again it's not an exactly revolutionary design but it's certainly an improvement. Below is the Logan from Noon Solar compared to the new C'N'C bag, and after a jump an interview with it's designer Ennio Capasa. Geek ChicYou'd have to have your head in the sand if you don't believe that solar and the environment are not some of the biggest issues facing the world today, no matter what your stance on them are. We're also inundated with gadgets of every kind with everything from your iPod to your Blackberry needing constant charging are bags like this the next logical step? I'm thinking probably not, but stranger things have happened. Will we be seeing a burst of solar in fashion, or is this some of the last dieing gasps of geek chic? We'll probably have to wait till next years runways to find out. Allan Barger |

I'm a big fan of hats, even though I barely get around to actually wearing them. There are tons of different options when it comes to hats, and we've seen everything from furry Cossack hats to turbans to berets on the runways in recent seasons. The music scene has also been influencing hat trends. What's hot and what's not right now? What to wear?Classic is best when it comes to hats right now. For both girls and guys the best styles to wear are (clockwise as shown below) the fedora, trilby, pork pie, derby / bowler, beret and panama. Chunky knit beanies have also been on the runways a lot of late - sure to keep you toasty in winter - or if you're not into beanies and prefer something more classic, go for a knit beret instead. What not to wear?Steer clear of the bucket hat, cowboy, trucker cap and army cap. Enough said. Hat stylesConfused about your hat types? A derby is another name for a bowler. You'll know a fedora if it's got a crease down the middle and is pinched in at both sides at the front. The pork pie hat is usually made from felt or sometimes straw, and is similar to a fedora only it has a flat round top; the trilby is also similar to the fedora, only has a more narrow brim.
