Art To Wear: Ziemska Art Felt Scarf

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 […]

Art To Wear and display: Artful Home

Mooching 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 […]

Kedem Sassoon, Plus Size Designer

I’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 […]

Love the collection by Mary Katrantzou for its’ synchronicity of fashion and art. The shapes are architectural and the […]

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 […]
