We've brought the shredded shirts back! They are so much fun to wear and look amazing with any pair of pants and with any kind of tank top underneath.

Here's what the process of making one looks like:

Isn't Instagram great? We just really got into it recently and it's a great way for us to share all of our designer-y adventures in and around our studio. Here are just a few samples of our pics and you can follow us as well on Instagram here: http://instagram.com/andreahughes82

Vest for Dudes

Sketching out some ideas for a new men's vest...

 Just thought we'd share with you!

Pretty and white and lovely

We thought we'd share what's going to be our next project. Here's a little sneak peek at what is going to be an absolutely SPECTACULAR dress...

A fantastic upcycled wedding

So - Shai and I are getting married (again - it's a long story) in December, and being designers, of course we're making all of our own wedding garments.

It's quite an adventure, and the beauty of it is that we're going to have full control over how everything turns out. Being the control freak that I am, you can imagine how happy that makes me. So keeping in theme with our Eco-consciousness, we're each creating our own upcycled outfits.

I think what I love most about upcycling, reclaiming, recycling etc. is the way that you can take something someone else has completely dismissed, has no interest in anymore and create this amazing thing out of it.

For Shai's outfit, we are working on a funky upcycled collarless dress shirt with some studs on the shoulders for added drama, with a vintage blazer and pointy silver shoes.  The dress shirt will be made out of two boring and plain mens dress shirts, deconstructed and reconstructed to become a super-tailored fitted sleeveless shirt. Color scheme will probably range between the blacks, gun metal, silver and blue. (Photos of the work in progress to come soon.)

The wedding dress will be a real challenge, to be unique and classy at the same time. Thoughts of  big poofy skirts starting at one spot and drifting off into flat or pleated areas, asymmetrical hems and other surprises. Pink and white will probably be the color scheme - either way, it's going to be a fantastical creation.

We're going to spend some time sourcing the materials at our local charity shop and getting to work on it.

Can't wait to share more with you!

Ruffly gray bits {in progress}

We thought we'd share a little sneak peek at our newest creation-in-progress

We're trying out a more abstract approach. Can't wait to show it to you when it's all done!

Everyday Beauty

We do our best to try and find the beauty and mystery in everyday situations. Just take a look at the little pile of scraps we noticed on the floor the other day:

This silver tulle caught the light so prettily. It's the little things that bring moments of joy and light to our lives.

Our studio - a beautiful disaster!

We thought we'd give you a little glimpse into our working process...

It's a beautiful disaster, just the way we like it!

Ruffly jacket in progress

We thought we'd share our latest work in progress with you:

It's just a sketch for now, but we thought it looks pretty cool!

Poplove works in progress

I absolutely adore this close-up of our latest creation. You really get the feel for the detail and beauty of the work. 

Not to brag or anything, but this one really is beautiful!
