World Break | Bethan Lloyd Worthington | Welcome To The Dark Side
|May 31, 2011

 If you’re like me, and you hear the name Bethan Lloyd Worthington for the first time, prepare yourself for a big treat! Bethan’s hand-painted tableware made me miss a heartbeat. Such an effortless, delicate and mysterious bundle of perfection! It all began with The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane. “Drawings and paintings in response to this book were led by the notion of early detail map without information on how places connect. I sought to convey something incomplete, isolated, suggestive of the potential for further exploration, and of disappearance.”

World Break | Tracey Neuls | Delicious Footwear
|May 30, 2011

 While I was on my way to one of my favorite perfume shops, Fresh, I got lost in the streets around Marylebone. Luckily I did! I ran into this ah-mazing shoe store. Well not just your ordinary shoe store. It has a big dinning table filled with sculptural and colorful shoes for your main course! I didn’t see this one coming ;)
Such a breath of fresh air! Oh… and another treat was the eeny, meeny animals in the window…
If I were you, I’d check Tracey Neuls’s blog, read an interview with the creative mind (and see some pics of the store).

World Break | Eleanor Bolton | Giant Scale. Soft Sensation.
|May 26, 2011

  • 100 Metres Knotted Neckpiece
  • Grey Coiled Rope Necklace
  • Knotted Coiled Rope Necklace
  • Block Blues | Coiled Cotton Rope Necklace
  • Twisted Coiled Rope Necklace
  • Red and Knotted Coiled Neckpiece
 Since developing her own craft technique of coiling and stitching cotton rope during her time at the RCA, this gal doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.
Eleanor Bolton keeps on stitching, knotting and twisting her way to the big league!
“Eleanor’s jewellery practice focuses on an innovative use of materials, how a material can be manipulated using simple techniques to create something unexpected and unusual while exploring the boundaries of form and function.”
Don’t know what about you, but for me it’s the ultimate statement piece!

World Break | Abigail MaryRose Clark | English Tea
|May 25, 2011

 Apparently you can make bracelets out of teacups. You heard me right, bracelets out of teacups!
I’m loving the idea of taking vintage teacups and transforming them into jewelry.
Thank god Abigail has an infinite selection of unique and beautiful teacups in the UK ;)

World Break | Emma Ware | Creative Rubber
|May 24, 2011

  • Ladder Earrings
  • Palm Necklace
  • Maria Cuff
  • Wing Earring
 When I first came across Emma Ware’s Re:Cycle creations, all I wanted to do is to grab it. But then… I discovered it was all made out of rubber and not leather as I initially thought. Such an exciting and surprising material, wouldn’t you agree? “Made by juxtaposing malleable dark rubber with polished metal, these are intricate sculptures that are framed and complimented by the body. Reflecting our curves and angles to emphasize and celebrate the beauty in nature. Soft, tactile and moveable these creations need to be seen and touched to be fully appreciated.” No need to add another word!

Anat Zamir | One Bag A Day
|May 20, 2011

 Anat Zamir is one of those gifted designers who can do two things at the same time. On one hand she designs jewelry and on the other bags. Can you imagine enjoying both worlds?! I’d die for that kind of talent.
At this moment I’m loving her minimal yet practical take on the school bag. It’s time to add a small bag to my XL sized collection ;)

Sharon Brunsher | Monochromatic Summer
|May 18, 2011

 Sharon Brunsher. Those two words mean perfection! I can’t think of any other Israeli designer that makes me feel like a kid in a candy store once I enter her monochromatic world of… well, perfection. I said it already!
Sharon’s Japanese version of the black and white summer collection is exactly what you would expect from a gal who knows how to turn a common concept into an extraordinary creation. I’m sure you all have seen more than once a black and white collection but I can garenty there is only one like Sharon Brunsher’s. Oh… one more thing, if I were you, I’d sign up to her Facebook page. You’ll thank me for this one.

Malinca | Mali Hollander | Frozen Color
|May 15, 2011

 Mali Hollander is a recent graduates of the Textile Design Department at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.
Since graduating, Mali worked on developing a unique textile material, which gives her the freedom to play with endless varieties of textures and colors. As Mali points out, her textures look like frozen color movement.
Each bag can serve as your daily dose of color. Don’t you agree?
BTW, I adore Malinca’s logo. That’s the web designer in me talking ;)

Mona | Moriah Hemed | Down Memory Lane
|May 13, 2011

 For her 2011 Summer Collection, Moriah Hemed, the face behind Mona, chose the super romantic movie, The Notebook , as her inspiration.
I must admit I haven’t seen it yet but as Moriah pointed out, Allie, the lead female character, has an impeccable wardrobe – I’m surely gonna watch it soon enough.
The photographs and especially the first one made me feel part of a dreamy fairytale I want to explore. In fact, it makes me want to have a glimpse of the 40′s in my closet.

Roni Kantor | Flats From The Past
|May 11, 2011

 When you think about your summer collection during winter time, there is not much room for bright colors.
Roni Kantor managed to skip the glooming atmosphere by dreaming of the early seventies with all the disco music and roller skates. She even did her homework when it came down to the structure and colors of the roller skates. Then she sailed in her imagination to the fifties, with the bobby soxer and their poodle skirts.
Roni, if you hear me, I’ll take one of each.
-
Roni ♥ animals so each season she uses vegan leather.
You can get in touch with Roni here:
