Cool tie-dyed and screenprinted shirts by Spirit of the Animal.

These scarfs and stockings by a mother and daughter partnership, Origei, are gorgeous. They create “art you wear” – one-of-a-kind articles that are handcrafted in their studio. Beautiful.

We’re off for the long weekend – see you back here on Tuesday! Happy Labor Day – rest up!

These Mixed Media Rings by Wenhui-Li are interesting…They are made from salt crystals grown on a ring. Wenhui-Li describes her process:

The way I create jewellery for this project is just like a child playing with toys. The process is full of wonder, discovery, combining and unexpectation. I don’t make pieces based on design; I make them based on passion and curiosity. I try to invent processes I cannot control (such as making salts grow on rings), I try to make things happen, I´m spontaneous and attentive, and I follow my instinct most of the time. This process of not knowing and not wanting, just playing, remaining free, being without intention, casual…and suddenly getting excited…and then recognising the point when one has to take control again, is a balancing act. I like accidents to occur during the creation process; sometimes they lead to a happy end result, and sometimes not. However, regardless of what happens, the results always bring inspiration for my creations. I enjoy such uncontrollability, as it is the key element that makes my pieces individual and unique. During the process of creating them, I focus particularly on the texture, colour and details. I want people to also wonder about the materials, feel the texture, pay attention to detail, and most importantly, feel my passion.

This image is totally arresting. Season Change is a dress made from used bicycle inner tubes by Anouk Vogel and Mattijs van Bergen. So beautiful.

Each tubing section is actually an individual vase, transforming the dress into a wearable floral display. The end result is a conceptual garment, a display object that both advocates sustainability and critiques the rapidly changing, disposable trends of the fashion industry. Its ever-changing floral presentation makes the garment truly a dress for all seasons and a bold design statement in its own right.

Some of the pieces from Flow Gallery’s On Repeat exhibition looks amazing. I love LOVE this necklace made from pieces of colored pencil by Iris Tsante. So gorgeous!

The exhibition runs from September 8th through November 5th.

This exhibition at Flow features the work of eighteen international makers. The exhibition explores the creative process which at times becomes meditative; moving from the mind to an intuitive action. The process of making can be a valuable trigger of inspiration. This is echoed in this exhibition, which aims to encourage people to see and enjoy the subtle variations created from a single repeated act.

The process of repetition can create or even determine a form. It allows exploration of volume, decoration and pattern. Repetition creates a rhythm and a flow; it highlights difference, irregularity
and the history behind surfaces. It is through repetition that you discover difference, through order and an attempt for the constant, variation is emphasized and the unexpected is found in the familiar.

Using different materials and patterns; from lines, dots or looping, all the work has the process of repetition in common.

The Genie from Nixon features a magic 8 ball type feature that helps you decide your fate with the push of a button. No info on what the actual answer texts are. Maybe they’ll match the actual 8 Ball?

I love this Three-Way Dress by the Society for Rational Dress. It goes from dress to an angled tank and back again. There are only 20 available as part of an Of a Kind edition.

Also, we just switched our blog over from Blogger to WordPress, so we apologize for the downtime earlier. If you come across any bugs, please do let us know!

Similar to the KNVB World Cup Jerseys that were all over the internets, Kr3w just released a set of flip shirts featuring Lizard King and Antwuan Dixon so you can show off your mega t-shirt passion.

I’ve seen Osborn boots around the city in various shops and always thought that the silhouettes look really good, but the patterns were just too crazy. But the Ashes to Ashes version is right on.

Lovely new jewelry and accessories from Poketo.
