Going natural and organic is an important statement for most consumers.

Be it food or clothing, people have started making wise choices regarding what they eat and what they wear. Traditionally, while choosing a product, customers paid close attention to details like colour, cost and brand. Today’s conscious customer also considers the carbon footprints a product leaves, before they make a decision.

The substantial rise in consumer awareness has led manufacturers to come up with fabrics made from natural fibres like bamboo, jute, silk and cotton blends. Creating fabric from coffee is one of the recent additions to the list. Apart from using coffee fabric to produce regular shirts, trousers and activewear, manufacturers are also putting this innovation to use in shapewear. Even though coffee infused shapewear was in controversy following its claims of triggering weight reduction and cellulite breakdown, shapewear with coffee continues to steal the show over regular shapewear.

Weaving coffee fabric
The process of making coffee fabric remains similar to making bamboo fibre. Manufacturers of coffee infused fabric burn coffee beans to turn them into carbonised coffee. Later, coffee is extruded into an elastane blend. Coffee infused fabric is soft, light, flexible and breathable. Companies are making coffee infused shapewear containing vitamin E, coconut water, aloe vera, algae, retinol etc to increase the body’s metabolic rate, keep the wearer cool, eliminate odour and also to fight cellulite.

Lingerie companies in France, the United States of America and other countries are among leading brands producing coffee infused shapewear. However, it only takes the grounds from one cup of coffee to make enough material for a couple of T-shirts, so major coffee producing countries like Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia do not stand to gain much in terms of increased sales.

Moreover, a Taiwanese fabric manufacturing company has come up with another innovative strategy to weave waste coffee grounds into fabric. These inventive techniques make it easier for countries to manufacture coffee infused garments without importing coffee from other countries. The waste coffee bean powder is interlaced into the fibre, which is then made into fabric and tailored into garments…

More scenes from her upcoming movie Sister Code – that features a steamy sex scene – have been revealed.

But it doesn’t look as if Amber Rose it going to be the slightest bit embarrassed by it.

On the same day, the 31-year-old model posted a selfie, showing off her cleavage in a tight vest top wishing her Instagram followers a good morning.

R-rated: Amber Rose filmed more sex scenes from her upcoming movie Sister Code in scantily-clad lingerie with another actor

As of late, the estranged wife of rapper Wiz Khalifa can be seen filming a ‘sex scene’ in the movie in film stills taken from her upcoming movie with former child star Marcus Paulk, 28 (best know for his role on the sitcom Moesha) and another actor in various states of undress.

The mother-of-one is better known for her outrageous clothing (or lack of it) rather than her acting talents, despite having a string of film credits under her belt.

And it seems Rose’s latest role in movie Sister Code won’t do much to change that.

Sister Code tells the story of three siblings who find themselves ‘fighting each other in this tale of love, lust, and tragedy’ and Amber’s character tries to launch a lingerie line by blackmailing Marcus’ character with an alleged sex tape.

Showing off the ample clothes in skimpy underwear, Amber is seen straddling Marcus on a bad as the pair engage in a bit of hanky panky.

Marcus recently was back in the spotlight once again, but not for his acting efforts.

Paulk plead guilty for a DUI after he was arrested on January 31, 2015. He was sentenced to one year probation.

Despite the racy scenes, the movie is said to be a comedy drama and will hit actual theatres in the US on May 8th.

Aside from her buxom body, Amber is known for her love life and more recently, her spats with the Kardashian and Jenner siblings, Kim, Khloe and Kylie.

It all kicked off earlier this year when Amber dissed 17-year-old Kylie Jenner’s relationship with rapper Tyga, 25, saying he should be ‘ashamed’.

The feud turned ugly and resulted in Amber’s ex Kanye West publicly tweeting about their relationship, claiming he had to take ’30 showers’ after the split up.
