Trend: Deteriorated Renewal




Whenever I’m traversing a new city, it’s always interesting to see what’s been left behind on the street and what’s coveted indoors. While in London a few months ago, I wandered into the Pure Evil Gallery in Shoreditch. The space is well curated and reeks of urban art. The surrendering robot is the work of Presto and reveals layers of loose splatters aside thick color strokes. Mimicking this use of delicate color splashes, the packaging on this Pacifica triple milled soap from New Zealand evokes similar environmentalist sentiments. Reminding us that the discarded items in our lives can inspire new creation, this burnt foam mattress in Darlinghurst was so captivating, it distracted me from my bedbug phobia long enough to snap a quick shot.

Street Finds: Melbourne Fabrics




[slideshow id=9]

As you might know, I’m currently in Australia poking around nooks and crannies, photographing inspiration and making friends with shop owners. This past week I spent some time at The Fabric Store, which has become an Australian staple in the fashion and textile world. Curating with perfection, it’s easy to navigate the rolls of cloth, making it a less daunting experience than a visit to Mood or B&J in Manhattan.

Some of the most experimental fabrics of the lot are from New Zealand and Australia, a fact that’s less foreign to the designers down under. The sales girl so kindly listed their top buyers & suppliers, including: Lisa Ho, Scanlan & Theodore, Betting Liano, Ksubi, Karen Walker, Kate Sylvester and Zimmerman.
