Designskolen Kolding, Spring 2011


Another look from Copenhagen fashion week.  Layers over layer of fabric, with a little keyhole of skin showing in the middle.  As I write this I am trying to articulate and understand why I keep being drawn to looks that are toga like and have this Japanese fashion feel.  I believe it is comes from some place deep inside that just enjoys the comfort and security of being wrapped in a blanket.  I am the type of person that is always cold, who often can be seen at home with a blanket wrapped around like a grecian goddess.  Ok more bag lady like then grecian goddess, but this is a blog and I am suppose to entice my readers into my amazing, always fabulous life.  In reality for a bumming-around-the-house-wrapped-in-a-blanket-feel I should invest in layered numbers, that way I look chic and stay toasty warm.  If I wore this number I may have to cover up the key hole or it will be counter productive to staying insulated.

Designskolen Kolding, SS 2011


From the name I think you can guess this look come from Copenhagen's fashion week.  Kolding School of Design puts out the show, unfortunately I could not find the name of this designer.  So if you know let me know (avid 15 readers)  Seriously if you read this blog and are not a follower, just push that follow button and know that you will warm my heart at the thought of someone paying attention.

The shy girl in me blushes at the thought of wearing this outfit in real life.  The red under layer is very web like, and the texture obsessed lover of fiber art in me finds it hard to resist.   I can't help but think that some where a Granny who crochets beautiful items for her grandkids also makes seductive crochet outfits.  Below is Crystal Gregory who creates web-like fiber creations.

Crystal Gregory (image from her site), calls her series "the invasive crochet series".  Now that I know the title I love it more.  She goes around and crochets in urban areas, similar to yarn bombing.


Yesterday I was talking about being a hidden hermit with ribbons in my braids.  I believe I would also have a crocheted fence to mark my territory.

Do you ever dream of a hermit life?  I can't be the only one.
