TOMS and Dazed Digital announce Carlos Carneiro as winning filmaker for his 'Killing Waves'

Carlos Carneiro has been announced as the winning filmmaker of the ‘Generation Change’ film project partnered by One for One philanthropic company TOMS and pioneering style site Dazed Digital.
‘Killing Waves’ by Carlos Carneiro provides an insight into the individuals behind the environmental charity Surfers Against Sewage (SAS). Set on a back-drop of the wild Cornish coast, it explories their combined passion for surfing and campaigning for a better coastal environment that everyone can benefit from.


'SAS' was established in 1990 by a group of passionate, local surfers and beach lovers the charity works to protect the UK’s oceans, waves and beaches so that everyone can enjoy them safely and sustainably. Their start-up campaign led to water companies investing £5 billion in sewerage infrastructures and the charity have since continued to build its catalogue of environmental successes targeting issues affecting beaches including marine litter, sewage, pollution, climate change, toxic chemicals, shipping and coastal development.


TOMS and Dazed Digital launched the 'Generation Change' film project; in July 2012 to find truly inspirational individuals and groups that share TOMS philosophy of starting something that matters.
The competition posted on the Dazed website, encouraged UK-based filmmakers to submit a proposal for a three-minute film that told an inspiring story with the winner receiving £5,000 to create their film. The winning clip was then chosen by TOMS, Dazed and acclaimed British director Lucy Walker (Waste Land and The Tsunami And The Cherry Blossom).

G-Star RAW presented its new AW13 collection in Berlin built around denim craftsmanship including 3D denim designs, the exploration of new silhouettes and experiments in terms of fabric weights and colours.


3D designs introduced the Charlie pant, A-crotch and denim jacket with 3D constructed sleeves.
A heavy crisp 20oz denim was in A-line jackets and modern cut denim pant designs.
the use of heavy fabrics including denim and also rich wools  lead to a new silhouette with slim tops mixes with loose denim fits such as the 3D Charlie pant.

Key theme was a new type of blue called Mazarine, an almost purple kind of blue which was inspired by Toile de Chine  - a fabric that predates denim

Dolce & Gabbana Autumn/Winter 2013

Titled “DEVOTION”, the theme was not just absolute devotion to all things tailoring: cut, fabrics and details, but also devotion to family, to (Catholic) religion and devotion to love.
Fabric for the evening was the luxurious velvet in 3 piece suits and shoes. Elegant in a black and grey palette. Burgundy did bring a splash of colour for one velvet suit with black lapels and pocket flaps.


 The Italian classics made way for the Italian flair as colours became brighter and jackets and tops adorned with large floral prints. High waisted trousers kept in the sombre black.


 Baggy silk t-shirts were heavily bejeweled, embroidered and adorned with Catholic religious icons.


Religious icons (especially of The Madonna )  were also printed on cotton t-shirts and thin sweatshirts.


 The style of the these gave the young models an almost 'altar boy' appearance as the loose wide crew neckline and wide open short sleeves are reminiscent of the altar boy smock.
