I love it when people tell me about cool stuff that I can tell you guys about, my friend Amanda Hlengwa recently told me about this really edgy, funky, flavoured label Boxing Kitten.
Maya Lake, a New York native and self taught designer, describes her pattern printed, vintage genius as having an "ethnic rockabilly" look.
Right now- during the pressure, anxiety and general stress of Varsity exams- my one consolation is the net and its ability to help me find all things pretty, all things cool, all things artsy, all things 'haberdashery' (yes i have now changed the word from a noun to an adjective - i like it that way lol).
Tonight i stumbled upon these, and every time I look at them - my looming English exam doesnt seem all that bad.

This month Sasha Pivovarova does more than just grace the pages of Vogue Paris - she adorns them with genius, edgy photos mastered by the skillful likes of Joe McKenna, Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Here its all about the "hobo-chic", with tough looking yet dashing pieces from true urban outfitters like Marc Jacobs and Dries Van Noten made to create an art-like, fashion inspired, mastered mess.
And I love it!
