A newly released North Korean state-sanctioned fashion magazine (below) has once again highlighted the practical fashion sense of the country led by dictator Kim Jong-un.
Some of the fabrics used in the stylish shoots have been highlighted as being "artificial flannelette fabrics composed of trace elements such as high-grade protein, amino acids, fruit juice, magnesium, iron and calcium".
Suitable for adventurous outdoor types engaged in activities like sailing, outdoor exploration and mountain climbing, the clothes "can be eaten to avoid starvation in the event that food has run out," the publication helpfully advises.
IN a great example of recycling, a Los Angeles based biomedical company has started selling boxes of used tissues.
The start-up Vaev claims that exposure to the viruses on the tissues can "train your immune system," as an alternative to immunisation.
"We believe using a tissue that carries a human sneeze is safer than needles or pills," according to a website blurb for the product, which costs a hefty US$80 per box.
"When flu season comes around, you should be able to get sick on your terms," Vaev added.
