Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager made clothes for themselves to wear out to clubs in the early 90’s during their late teens. After extensive international travel and countless compliments on their clothing a business was executed. Junky styling was the perfect tag to attach to their unique style of clothing. Charity shops and jumble sales were the chosen source of second hand traditional suits to deconstruct and then redesign into twisted tailored garments.

Now 11 years later, with their well-established shop in Brick Lane – London – & in-house production site just down the road, nothing is holding this company back. Anni and Kerry are still best friends and the same multi-talented crew are putting out new clothing ranges in every direction

Here few photos of the new amazing “Timeless, Deconstructed & Re-Cut” Collection Now in Store: re-using shirts, suits, jackets & sleeves to create a new unique style for wonam & man.

“All vintage, any vintage. Most of my materials are from previous garments. I cut, hand paint, dye, bead and otherwise *mangle* to get what I want. Because of this everything is strictly speaking ONE-OF- KIND (OOAK)” says Delight Worthyn, the woman self taught artist, seamstress and milliner.

She creates lots of original and unique Wearable Pieces of Art but I’m crazy for her amazing hats:

“I am excited about a new technique for making headpieces (or whatever I end up calling them). All recycled fabrics. Mostly hand painted T shirts with some antique lace.”

…finally Delight Worthyn says “Believe it or not, all the silk in this headpiece is from previous garments. Even the birdcage veil is vintage, coffee brown and difficult to come by. Very limited supply. The flowers are all handmade and painted with fabric dyes to add depth. The flower centers are beaded by hand” … “Ok …I am not going to lie, there is quite a bit of labor here but results speak for themselves.”

Don’t lose any second: have a look at Delight Worthyn’s blog and enjoy!

“Cyclechic was born out of frustration with the lack of stylish cycling accessories on the market. I had cycled in London for a year or so and whilst I loved the elegance of breezing though the streets on two wheels I was constantly frustrated by cycling’s overridingly geeky image. I searched high and low for items that would fit in with a modern woman’s wardrobe and that would enhance one’s cycling style rather than leave you crying in shame” says Caz Nicklin.

“I hope to keep pushing people’s perceptions of cycling and encourage more women to take to wheels by providing products and advice that make sense to the modern woman”.

So at the question: “is it possible to cycle in London and look good?” She answers:

“As a London lady who cycles and refuses to be another Lycra clad anorak… I think the answer is YES. This site offers tips and advice on how to combine safety, practicality and style to acheive true urban cycle chic.”

“For the Love of God” is the collection created by Lorenzo Busato within a school project based on the study of ethnicity as opposed to a theme of breaking. The research began with the analysis of the clothing of an ancient people, the Ainu, who settled in the Japanese archipelago between the XII and the XI BC. Dresses volumes and geometric sculptures are made in parallel to the study and research of Damien Hirst’s art works.

“The collection was made following a search of my own alternative materials” says Lorenzo ” which I pass on the conceptual idea I had for creating the head. Shapes and volumes, and in particular the location of the photo sets, recall the works and concepts of Hirst. I used the garden pvc tablecloths, a polka-dot printed out the grounds, while other fabrics I have recreated the graphics in vector drawing and then printing at home on canvas with the film transfers the Zebra and Virgin Mother. Yet the masks are handmade, cardboard, through a series of folds have developed a texture of origami.”

Ridu Marco Favaretto and Chiara Rigoni, two students of Fashion Design University of Venice IUAV, have presented an interesting collection: using couture strings and other strange fabric materials they have created real couture garments.

Marble forms harmonize the body and the whiteness of the shells take out the natural colors of the human nature. Volume and structure live togheter to create an original tribal style couture.

To find out more have a look at Chiara Rigoni & Ridu Marco Favaretto blogs.

And now start to use window rapes-strings and create your own style. Then send photos and video at refashinoso@shicon.com

There’s nothing better than lots of colour splashes on your dress to put you in a good mood!

Fernando Brizio is a talented product designer from Portugal, responsible for some of the most creative recycled art and fashion.
Like this Felt-tip Pens Dress: by meticulously inserting coloured felt-tip pens, nib down, into a white dress fitted with little pockets, the ink is bleeds into the fabric in a sequence of splodges. The idea behind the dress is that the owner slips the pens into the pockets herself just before entering the party or whatever she’s attending and bursting into messy bloom. As you can see the felt tip pens are inserted in the small pockets of the dress. Within an hour – to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. The owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it.
