MICHAEL VAN DER HAM
Van der Ham pieces together fashion of different eras, meaning that one dress can have shape from the 20's, material from the 60's, and a sleeve from the 70's. He says "There are these amazing and rare dresses made by Andy Warhol in 1975 for the 'Fashion as Fantasy' exhibition, which was curated by Diana Vreeland. Each dress is made from sections or panels of designer dresses like Yves Saint Lauren, Oscar De La Renta, Valentino, Diane Von Furstenberg etc... I thought it would be a good idea to base the whole collection of dresses on this idea but instead of just using 1970's dresses I expanded the research into the 1920's, 1950's and 1960's shapes too. Each dress would become a mismatch and clash of fabrics, colours and cut. It's about certain elements together that you wouldn't normally sew together." You can buy his dresses at
Liberty.

<3 NEW SOCKS WE LOVE <3
Marianne Wakerlin, the Socklady, is the founder and owner of Sol Mate Socks. The company is named after her mom, Sunny, who taught Marianne how to knit. Marianne continued to knit for the next 40 years, but it wasn't until she started knitting socks that her real passion was born.
"I found it exhilarating, designing a pair of socks that didn't match and were knit in random patterns with multiple colors. I loved my finished socks!"
Within a few years Marianne had knit over one hundred pairs of socks for family and friends, and she decided to turn her hobby into a business. Her colorful and complex patterns are knit in the USA at a family owned knitting mill, hand finished and mismatched.
The company is run from the Socklady's home in central Vermont, surrounded and inspired by the woods, brook, gardens and hills of the countryside.
