Beautiful Tatters

the theorna faery dress

"a tattered medley of stitches & lace,
the theorna faery dress is an
elegant map of antique patches.
made in the muted colours of
pale blue, cream, tan & white,
it looks like it could have risen from
the river on the body of a water spirit!
the bust is a textured decollete'
of crochet, lace, & stitches
(adorned with tiny vintage buttons,
of course).
the straps are adjustable and
the dress is slip-style,
with no zipper.
there are remnants sewn in from
the early 1900s, and there are tattered
bits of cursive writing lurking
about as well.
there is a very old thread sampler
stitched to the bottom left
of the dress for another touch
of ephemera & history.
truly one-of-a kind,
this garment could be
a patchwork river faery's daily attire."

These are the most beautiful tatters I have ever seen. Every item has such fine detail, such rich history, and such care taken in its creation. gibbous fashions reminds me of: the modern day transients of America (see the polaroid kidd), Victorian times past, of found objects, old vintage lace...

Some of the strangest, wackiest, and weirdest finds in fashion.

Slip down the rabbit hole...

[From Maruione]

This coat is called the Snöögle - and yes, it's made for two! Ilanio Wear have even made a FAQ about it!

[From Ilanio Wear]

Believe it or not... this is a hoodie! They also make them in a variety of other "heads". To see this hood in action, click here. To see all the different heads, go to Head Hoods.

The cyber pirate hat from Gobbolino

There are no doubt endless items that could be posted here!

Focus on leather

Skin Graft Designs

Ayya Wear. They make a small selection of clothes and also some great boots. But their piece de resistance is their ninja tabi boots:

Available in a lovely range of colours and they also do custom made. They are truly absolutely amazing. Tabi (or jika-tabi) were apparently worn by Ninja in Japan, though this is debatable. They are very popular today with Japanese construction workers because of the split-toe enabling them to have greater dexterity with their feet.

A wonderful steampunk Flight Helmet by Wild Card Collection

A tribal pocket belt by Yasuyuki Ishii

Beautiful leather designs by Asli Designs. Slightly fairy-esque designs, but without being too delicate about it, and with a big dollop of tribal.

There is, of course, many more gorgeous leather designs I could post here, so I'll save them up for a series of leather posts.

This is my fashion blog. I am quite the internet sleuth, so naming this Lace Ninja seemed quite fitting. I'll be posting various finds of my own and others from around the place.
