lital efraim: steadybop hipster fashion

eyeglasses that fold into a bow tie and headphones that double as a polo shirt collar join a selection of other tongue-in-cheek designs in lital efraim‘s street fashion collection ‘steadybop’, the israeli designer’s graduation project at israel’s shenkar college.

efraim states: ‘the hipster-style products, influenced by street couture fashion, indie rock albums and the DIY approach, were made using both craft and advanced technologies’. pieces include a pocket brooch that gives the impression of being a folded handkerchief; headphones that when worn around the neck, look like an upturned shirt collar; a wrist watch built into a pair of cufflinks; and eyewear that can be donned as a bowtie.
