My Collection, Spring/Summer12

SpringSummer12

Drawing inspiration from little Edie, and her home, Grey Gardens, has led to an eccentric mix of pieces. “Grey Gardens is oozing with Romance, Ghosts and other things.” LITTLE EDDIE.  

With an array of vintage sourced trims, and using vintage style detailing and fastenings to recreate the wonders of one off vintage garments, evoking a delicate, romantic feel throughout this collection. Taking elements of the past and transforming them into the new and the timeless in pieces such as intricate lazer cut shorts inspired by vintage lace knickers. Prints throughout each outfit create a romantic patchwork of femininity with a harder darker edge. Each piece embodies a part of Edie, echoing her youthful naivety, her eccentricity, her ache for show business, and her darker melancholy side. Each piece tells a story with its unique detail and print…

Kitcsh and Cute

These are framed pictures i stumble across on urban outfitters home, they have some really nice things that i would LOVE to buy, still waiting to win the lottery sadly though! These are some georgeous prints by R.Berkley which are so cute, but i would want to buy both as i think they would look great as a set, and they are rather expensive, seeing as they are not original prints or vintage frames. Ive been drawing characters slightly like this in the form of mice so im into his work. perhaps ill just frame my drawings instead!
