don't believe what they tell you

it would be
an understatement
to say i am
obsessed with
textiles and fiber arts
as well as
liberty prints
(it would be
an understatement
to say i'm obsessed
period)*
soooo
the february issue
of so-en
nearly
made me
spontaneously combust
the entire mag
is dedicated to
japanese textiles
from mina perhonen
to chihiro tanaka's
sublime fiber art lights
with a special
feature on the liberty...

obsession list:

swatches of
textile history
from mina perhonen ~check


pony hair top hat ~ check
border stripes galore~ check


way over the top headpiece
opera gloves and
layers of useless ruffles
~check check check


tsumori chisato
with border stripes plus
liberty print tights


issey miyake.


matohu
from start to
finish


swoon worthy
sweetness
from
cherir la femme
&
franche lippee


chihiro tanaka
beautiful fuzzy
light couture


and for
liberty print
overload








okay. enough.
i can't scan
the entire
magazine.
if you happen
to see a copy
pick it up!
