As part of a sweeping plan to be 100 percent sustainable by 2040, H&M has invested in a wide variety of inventive products that are more environmentally conscious, including something people are calling "poop fabric." And, yeah, it's basically what it sounds like. Gross, right?!

Artist Mario Munkara points out the different design elements of the printed ceremonial pukumani burial poles, representing various styles of body painting and scarification used during funeral ceremonies.

"They used to have the scars around their chests, and the ladies used to have it on their breasts and shoulder," he says.

"Pukumani pole is traditional way for us when we carve, to think about our sorrow and the person who passed away."

On Monday, the White House released Melania Trump's first official portrait as first lady of the United States — and Trump's already made it her new Twitter profile pic.

The rare disorder gives her a "cat-like" appearance, which got the attention of British fashion photographer Nick Knight.

He first spotted the 29-year-old from Seattle on Instagram and she's since starred in V Magazine.

"It's been the most beautiful whirlwind of my life," she tells Newsbeat.

Cat eye syndrome is also called Schmid-Fraccaro syndrome.

Jim Kari is in his second year of residency at the Port Moresby General Hospital.

And even amidst the pressure of the medical field, the 25 year old Southern Highlander still has time to design and sew clothing.

“I’ve always been intrigued by designs and patterns so yes, I sew, paint, screen print, apart from trying to be a certified doctor,” he said.

Kari’s passion began early in life but he only started putting it into action in his second year at the medical school.

This time, it’s the runway in Macau, China, among other international designers.

National Director, Philma Kelegai, has described this as an amazing opportunity “to be catapulted into the world stage of high end fashion”.

She is now making a general call out to interested designers.

Those who secure a space in the local World Supermodel PNG pageant would also be judged separately apart from the contestants on May 6.

The 20-year-old is one of the seven designers competing in Lamana Gold Club’s ICE PNG FASHION 2016.

This annual competition presents a platform for models and designers both, where Yaruso joined last year, trying for both categories.

This year though, the young boy from Northern Province is focusing on his passion to design.

He has turned heads with his Dyarlli brand.

In the last heat, Yaruso modelled his own design, showing off a funky cool look for the PNG Musician Performance category.
