I am experiencing some activity curtailing domestic dramas at home right now and, as I continue to attempt to regain my stability and equilibrium, I thought I would post this stunning felt scarf from Ziemska Art – selling on Etsy. Wheelchair user. Plus Size. Unconventional shape. And pretty much anyone else. This is art to […]
MoreHad to pass on this beautiful cover from Evolve Magazine for the curvy, plus sized amongst us. More fabulous images of model, Jada Sezer, inside. It’s all online so go across, take a look and let me know what you think.
MoreFlipping through the FT’s How To Spend It, I saw a beautiful dress by John Galliano and my heart kinda stuttered with sorrow. I’ve always loved Galliano’s work and actually had tears in my eyes at a V&A exhibition a few years ago on his Haute Couture work for Dior – so exquisite were the […]
MoreI have been seeing a lot of images of the stunningly beautiful Linda Rodin recently – she seems to combine style and ageing so effortlessly and without, apparent, surgery. I have nothing against surgery – it might be a great solution for some and people are free to spend their own money however they wish […]
MoreMooching around for Shibori shawls, I visited a site I hadn’t been onto for a while: Artful Home. Pleased to see it still up and in working order, I was pleasantly reminded of all the fabulous designer/makers that display their wares here. There’s so much to look at for both home – especially if, like […]
MoreI’ve been reading a little about Israeli designer, Kedem Sassoon, this past week and, looking him up on Google, I like his style. With a plus-size wife, he apparently designs with her in mind and what’s not for the rest of us plus-size peeps to like about that? Sadly, his own website seems a little […]
MoreLocked in my bedroom by lift malfunction for the past couple of days, frozen by the persistent cold weather we are having, I have blown off some frustration looking at lots of Fall 2013 Youtube videos. Love the collection by Mary Katrantzou for its’ synchronicity of fashion and art. The shapes are architectural and the […]
MoreMy life is over. I am seriously beginning to look at these slippers – velcro and all – and think, “Ooh … comfy … I want.” £55! Against £2000 for my painful bespoke shoes. If you are going to have no style, better to pay a lot less for it, no? Mentioned it to D. […]
MoreLooking through fashion illustrator Gladys Perint Palmer‘s book, Fashion People, I came across an illustration titled ‘We Three Kings …’ done in 1994, referring to Miyake, Yahamoto and Rei Kawakubo – photo by me attached here: Having huge amounts of Miyake in my own wardrobe from a couple of decades ago, I was driven to […]
MoreWhat a great idea. I can make shoes. I stumbled across this website today and have immediately filed it for future reference. Finally, a demystifying of the process… My inability to find well-designed footwear for my swollen feet is a subject I have come back to again and again. My one attempt at a bespoke […]
