As bizarre as it sounds I’ve been able to put 2 very different cultures on the same level by using African fabric for a Japanese Kimono! It is the same fabric as the first kimono I’ve made last year but in a green shade. It is 100% Cotton and has a matching Obi belt that is easy to wrap around and gives a nice finishing touch. The fabric comes from Zimbabwe. If you are interested to buy any of those kimonos please get in contact with me: laetitia@aanet.com.au See more photos on my Kimono page.

Put Saturday the 18th September in your diaries for the Junkie Couture opening night celebration which will feature live models, a bar, nibbles and great company … not to mention the art! All at the Reverse Garbage warehouse on Montague Rd, West End, Brisbane, Australia Queensland. Help us make fashion sustainable! Our next exhibition will be all about wearable art made from salvaged materials. From designers and makers who make clothing, jewellery, hats, fascinators, shoes, accessories and other adornments out of salvaged materials.
I am very excited to submit my project which is a Reverse Kimono (yogi or sleeping kimono) made of Recycled Denim (jeans and skirts). Please visit my Kimono page for more info about my latest creations and about Kimono in general.

Despite my load of computer work I have decide to make a break tomorrow to visit the Textile Art festival in Brisbane. See the link for more info: http://www.textileart.com.au/ . Check out there are some great workshops on for 3 days until Sunday afternoon.As I have been into fabric and screen printing lately I think that will give me a boost of inspiration and motivation. I will post some photos of my recent acquisition of organic fabric from Harmony Art Organic Fabric Online http://www.organicfabriconline.com.au/ I can’t wait to post my next kimono…

Hello everyone! For a month my blog has disappeared from the face of the web… I’ve changed hosting and I didn’t have any backup file of my WP blog so guess what? I’ve lost it all! So to all who looked at this blog before I apologize and I am now trying to rebuild everything from scratch… which might take a little while. Thank you for your patience. I’ll be back soon!
