Rabbit Heart

I can't tell you how much I am enamored by Felicity Brown's SS12 collection. Love the inclusion of jewel tones with nude shades, love the ombre effect-which the strategically placed hand dyed fabric strips create, love the soft neo-raphaelite styling. I can totally see Florence Welch in some of these pieces!

              

               

              

                                                   

A graduate of the revered Royal College of Art, Felicity Brown is a fairly recent addition to the LFW schedule. She has stuck to her signature of working with hand-dyed pieces of fabric, but in contrast to her AW11 collection her SS12 one has a more refined commercial direction.

I really wonder how she will use this technique going forward. Absolutely beautiful, I say!

Knit Knacks

I know I have been slacking with my blog posts lately, which I will blame on my new found pass-time: knitting!! :) For a 'maker' like me its seriously addictive, not to mention relaxing. I've only just learnt and I am still figuring out the nuances, but I intend on posting some work once I embark on some legitimate knitting projects.

In the mean-time, I will leave you with a collection of ace cocoon knitwear entitled Unconventional Body Pieces by Vietnamese-Hungarian textile/fashion designer Phoung Thuy Nguyen. Nguyen received considerable amount of press for these handmade knit pieces made solely of rope. All I can ask is HOW??!

On a similar note: How fantastic are these Converse x Missoni SS12 Auckland Racer knit motif kicks?!

Ground Zero

London based Ground-Zero's AW11/12 collection is right up my alley! Geometric prints, standout leather, and colors aplenty; all with the just the right amount of subversive edge. Definietly not for the faint-hearted, but a fantastic collection in my opinion!
