Dear designboom reader,

Playfulness is a theme in recent fashion pieces. These designs are both fun to look at and functional, like Gustaf Westman’s spiral baguette holder, which carries a loaf of bread like a handbag. At times they’re nature‑inspired, as seen in the wearable boulders by Canyaon and Bravest.

Other fashion items today are versatile, too. Topologie’s vest comes with a backpack behind, letting the wearer store personal items and carry them anywhere. Then, LAYER recycles parachutes into a cape and a jacket for RÆBURN, both of which can be worn in any weather.

Thanks for reading!
