* adore dore

unfortunately we were not in town when narelle dore presented her  autumn/ winter collection

for 2010/ 11 at ra in antwerp. with a high-tee ceremony supplied by the otark ladies.

touching handmade items.

we see crochet, patchwork, makaramee, handstiching, soft necklaces, as well as soft

colours… and the icecream swirl- dress and top make you think of next summer.

the wooden lumberjack- coathooks make the collection look even more delicate.

johanna says: the leather- t for me!

all pieces exclusively at ra. all images exclusively by yana foque

* this is the beginning and not the end

of the mini collection ´jenny fax´ by designer and hui -hui friend jenfang shueh.

definitely more alive than carrie white  but not as popular yet… made a wishlist already

and  practise the hymn of the grey girl revolution.

’I AM ME’

This time , all the girl who come from this “soso” “gray zone”,

They try to stand out and show..

What they really are!

What they really want !

Use their weak pink weapon to explode.

To fight for themselves.

until know jenny fax season one is only for sale at japanese webforum changefashion.
