Joan
Tässä on laukku, jonka tein ystävälleni (myöhästyneeksi) syntymäpäivälahjaksi. Hän pitää ruusuista ja vaaleanpunaisesta, joten kun löysin ruusukuvioiset puuvillaverhot, ajattelin voivani tehdä niistä jotain hänen makuunsa sopivaa. Ajelehdin kahden eri ompeluidean välillä, kunnes löysin marketista Novitan kahvat (www.novita.fi ei valitettavasti myy juuri näitä).

Laukun vuori on vanhan roosan väristä satiinia. Sisällä on pieni tasku samaisista ruusuverhoista. Ostin molemmat kankaat käytettyinä kierrätyskeskuksesta. Aiemmista töistä ylijäänyttä vakosamettia käytin välikankaana, jotta laukku pitäisi muotonsa paremmin. Se täytti tehtävänsä melko mainiosti, mutta kokeilen silti ensi kerralla jotain muuta. Vakosametti teki laukusta vähän liian paksun ommeltavaksi.

Laukun nimeksi tuli Joan erään laulajattaren mukaan, josta ystäväni myös sattuu pitämään.

Here’s a bag I made for my friend for a (little late) birthday present. She likes roses and pink so I when I found rose patterned cotton curtains I thought I could use them for something that would suit her taste. For some time I drifted between two ideas of what to sew. Then I found the bag handles. They’re made by a Finnish textile brand Novita (www.novita.fi, unfortunately they don’t have these exact handles in the web shop).

The lining is old rose coloured satin (’old’ referring to the shade of rose, not the age of the satin) and there’s a little pocket inside the bag that’s also made from the rose patterned curtains. Both the satin and the curtains were bought second hand from the reuse center. I used some left-over cotton corduroy in between them to make the bag’s structure stronger. It did the trick but I’m still going to try something else next time; the corduroy made the whole thing a little too thick to sew.

I named the bag Joan according to a singer my friend also happens to like.

Fashion Week Update - May 31, 2009

The real picture
I am really happy to see good models and designers emerge from Chandigarh and Punjab but why isn’t there any Chandigarh fashion week showcasing all that talent?

The Louis Vuitton Don
Presently, he’s developing his way as a fashion designer. You can’t deny his love for high-end fashion as he’s been a guest for Fashion Week throughout the year.

First-class fashion
On one hand, there has been an energetic movement to market Dubai as a fashion capital, with the twice-yearly Dubai Fashion Week punctuated by a seemingly bored innuendo of nothingness.

God Save McQueen

While the big, slouchy bags continue to rule the trend, there was one bag that caught my attention. The new Alexander McQueen Clover Hobo.Alexander McQueen Clover Hobo

Alexander McQueen Clover Hobo

First, I was shocked that there was an actual wearable Alexander McQueen piece that was not made out of 10lbs of spiky metal, or some form of flashiness that I would deter from. Then, it was the clever clover design that caught my eyes. The thin leather straps form the shape to add subtle interest to the design without being blatantly in-your-face.

This particular color is not my favorite, but the cream leather definitely adds to the genius design. It can be found on Zappos.com for $1999 if you are so willing.

Burkhalter Couture

These are some of the coolest designs I’ve seen. They’re all from BurkhalterCouture’s shop on etsy. The designer is an ex-model from Geneva, Switzerland.
