Style Aspiration, Style Reality

I am in shock. Desperate for plus size, reasonable quality, plain black, summer t-shirts in 100% cotton, I purchased the EZ V T by Planet, seen above, from the States. It has cost me c.£160! I hesitate to name the store I bought it from as they charge what might be seen as a perfectly […]

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.

Slippers: Shoot Me Now …

My 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. […]

We Three Kings: Issey Miyake

Looking 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 […]

I Can Make Shoes

What 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 […]
