2017: a year of achievements, discoveries and blog collaboration
It was a very good year for achievements, discoveries and blog collaboration. Looking back on 2017, one of the first memorable moments was the catwalk of Kelly Sue during Amsterdam fashion week. Her concept “Broken Crayons Still Color” highlighting diversity, was fascinating. The catwalk was so exquisite with these models in wheelchairs that are called “Sue Warriors”….
Earth Matters – remember that fashion world.
The exhibition “Earth Matters” at the Textile Museum in Tilburg is a call for me to keep admiring fashion designers and brand concepts that promote sustainability. The galleries of the museum were full of insightful content, with samples of botanical ingredients turned into a fashionable product without harming the environment.

Hear, hear! My thoughts on the Fashion Revolution week
I know who made my hat because Bello&Eco made sure that the women artisans in the north of Peru sustain their families.

I buy clothing and I certainly complete my outfit with elegant accessories that make me look good. It feels great to be stylish.

Sneak preview: Fuxico and vintage limited accessories collection
Made by Visiting street markets and second-hand shops in London was always inspiring. I treasured for peculiar fabrics once (2010) to make cushions. I found this golden Indian textile and pearled adornments. I kept the left-overs as I had in mind to launch a limited edition of accessories. Something out of the box, romantic, chic and ethnic….
The “fuxico” patchwork technique in the fashion world
Simply the art of “fuxico” is considered to be Brazilian, but unfortunately there is nothing registered as far as I researched. Rumours are that this handcrafting technique started in Brazil dated back to slavery. The word “fuxico” (read fushico!) is a Brazilian word for gossiping. Slaves were brought to Brazil by Europeans. It was a…
