I spotted ex-project runway cutie
Alison Kelly hanging out around Williamsburg over the weekend. I’ve been giggling that on every show she has worn some variation of her crochet top (she wears it in white,black and every variation imaginable). Guess what she was wearing when I saw her on the street? Nothing less than one of her many crochet tops! Shown above is another take on her crochet top, courtesy of Alison’s myspace page.

Another amazing book I found is by Erica Wilson titled ‘Needleplay’. This book is full of fun ideas which are all highlights from her television series “Erica”. There are still some VHS tapes of this show available on Ebay.

I love the interior cover of
Free-Form Bargello. This book is full of extremely weird and badly formed drawings, all of which I love. Check out the below images of free-form approaches to Bargello embroidery.

This weekend we went to the Met to check out the current shows. Anglomania, is an exhibit that attempts to examine how British fashion bore it’s roots from the English traditions. The exhibit features some stunning pieces from the likes of ,Hussein Chalayan (see above), Galiano (for Dior, below) as well as Alexander McQueen. The show seemed a little less cohesive than previous fashion exhibits that we’ve seen, such as the Chanel/Lagerfeld show. There seemed to be too many conflicting ideas going on in the presentation for it to be interperted clearly. Some people were left wondering what old british people were doing wearing Vivianne Westwood tee’s? Of course art doesn’t intrinsically cater to everyone, a museum’s job is to make it accessible and understandible, this is where the Met fell short this time. If you would like something to do in an air conditioned environment, it’s definately worth checking out, but be prepared to read the long descriptions in each room if you really want to get it.

Okay, normally I stay away from posting pictures of myself on the blog. Today I have made an exception due to my need to report face-to-face, concerning the monstrosity I was accosted by while strolling along 34th street. What did I find in the Macy’s window, but a big blue sheet! My own outfit is more innovative than that crap. Did the project runway judges forget that the first project was supposed to be innovative? Keith Michael took one of the most cliched sillhouettes of all time (every fashion design student thinks they are the first to create a halter dress) and he had the nerve to make it out of FABRIC! This is looking like it is going to be one harshly reviewed Project Runway season, and also what is going on with the Project Runway
website? I would definitely say ‘Auf wiedersehen’ to their web designer.

This weekend while exploring the areas off the beaten track in Brooklyn, I discovered the work of
Kim Hamlin showcased at
Treehouse. Kim’s knit trees are genius. Check out her homepage for more pics of her knit forest. Kim is also the author and designer behind Posh Pooches, a how-to book on knitting dog sweaters. Treehouse is located at 430 graham ave, just a few short blocks from the graham ave L-train stop. The store is co-founded by Rebecca Lee, a jewelry designer and proprietor extraordinaire of
Becky Lee jewelry and fashion designer Siri Wilson who creates a one-of-a-kind line
Sirius*. Their shop is an unusual combination of cute crafting books, small designer wares, vintage clothing and also functions as a craft school and design resource center.

Another print I found while vacationing in NJ…It’s rare to find a print that contains all of these motifs, i.e. ships, fishing gear, bullets, pipes, horse show ribbons and archery supplies.

This week I’m dedicating my posts to all that is bold. Summer is upon us, and there is no better time for bold bright and playful prints. Mary Blair’s illustrations and Vera’s textiles exemplify this look the best.
Enjoy!
