Remember when collaborations between fashion designers and high-street stores seemed like a win-win wheeze?

When Nike unveiled new footwear for athletes in all 28 sports at the Olympic Games, one of its offerings prompted skepticism: an equestrian boot.
One rider opined on a Web site that it looks like "the stripper boot of the horse world."
U.S. Olympic rider Gina Miles wonders if wearing a swoosh might lead to lower scores in a sport that prides itself on centuries-old traditions.
And Nike archrival Adidas, which is also creating new shoes for the Games, said no to riding boots.
"We didn't feel we could come in with some meaningful innovation," says James Carnes, Adidas' creative director.

Jewelry is commonly perceived as a beautiful piece of wearable art: stand-alone, sculptural, and aloof.
However, in order to understand contemporary jewelry design, we need to view the work as we would the product of any design field: as conceptual projects, as material studies, as social commentaries, and as connections to the past.
The various creations by international designers presented in this book give us an outline on current trends and developments in the field of jewelry.
Their work is presented as a snapshot of individual practices, a broad sampling of innovative creations and forward-looking designers.
What unites them are everyday considerations on context and production.
Pictures as well as information on crafting techniques and materials underline the infinite creative potential of jewelry design.

What do you get when you pair a scientific researcher with a textile designer?
Designers fundamentally shape the way we live, while scientists pervade the very fabric of our lives.
Nobel Textiles involves a journey into the interface between science and design, a dialogue between leading researchers in both fields.
Textile Design Fellows from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design are liaising with Nobel prize-winning life scientists to develop textiles that respond to scientific discovery and celebrate and communicate the interaction between science and design.
Nobel Textiles will be exhibited as part of London's Design Festival at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and Saint James' Park from September 14 to 21.
