Invisible cloaks be damned — Mercedes-Benz has built an invisible car instead. Cameras are mounted on one side of a Mercedes F-Cell that feed video to a sheet of LEDs on the other. The result? The eco-friendly, zero-emissions ride is almost invisible to passersby during the daylight, and even more so at night. Check out the project in the video below!

If you've always longed for a hot red Mercedes SLK, what about just nails the exact same color instead? Mercedes just debuted its new SLK Nail Polish in Zircon Red ($12), which is in the exact original vehicle paint color. This isn't the car brand's only polish, but it is the only one that's an exact match to its sexy racing-red color.

Since nail polish is just a variant on car paint (true story), this lacquer might possibly be a good purchase for Mercedes owners who might want to use it to cover up any little dings or scratches on their cars. For those of us not possessed of one of these fine pieces of engineering, however, is this something that appeals?

Pouring rain and oozing personalities run together. Uneasy standing room guests eye lines of self satisfied seated guests displaying their status with bright invitations. And yet the hierarchy of a once industry only event continues to disintegrate. Ostentatious sponsors have overtaken the nooks and crannies of the tents allowing the many drones of Fashion Week little space to congregate for work. American Express, Mercedes Benz, Lycra, BAWLS, and new varieties of vodka we have never encountered fill any possible seating areas. The political, the commercial and the aesthetic have run together leaving everything feeling blurry. And its not just the rain.
