  • Classic Designer Collections

    Ideas and inspirations - from the classics to the art outfits

  • Plus Size Designer
  • Designer Wearable Art
    This particular group of clothes have something particularly unique about them. Some are made from especially individual hand painted pieces of silk. Others are created from those seredipitous moments when processes don't go quite according to plan creating something more wonderful and unique. On occasion, painting techniques develop instigating new ways of applying colour and texture but are so labour intensive that they will never become a part of the regular manufacturing process. Many of the items are one offs never to be repeated works of art that would fit well in any fabulous art gallery.
