Working with Clara Kaesdorf - Local Berlin Fashion Designer
Clara Kaesdorf, a Berlin fashion designer, has been working on a collection for her Pop-Up Store in Steglitz, Berlin. She designs her own printed fabrics and created unique, yet accessible, wearable art for women and men. I am lucky enough to work with Clara, constructing A-line skirts in 3 of her different fabric designs. For a look at what she is doing follow this link:

Her Pop-Up Shop is open for the next 3 months, so Berliners, go have a look!

A hat isn't simply an accessory...
... it is a statement. A proclamation of who you are and how you want to project yourself to the world. Are you modest, flirtatious, coy, sexy, independent, sporty, elegant, zany or queenly?
I have been collecting vintage hats for nearly 15 years and with an over-active imagination decided to start making the hats that I couldn't find when rummaging markets and vintage shops.
I will also include in this post a small collection of floral hair ornaments I have also made.
Grey felt tilt hat with spray of black feathers, twist of rust feathers and black & white feather spines. I added the feathers to the pre-purchased felt hat.
1940's black feather tilt hat with clock parts, magnifying glasses and crow skull. I added the cogs, magnifying glasses and skull to the hat for part of a Steampunk costume I had made for a German music festival in Leipzig about 3 years ago.
Black velvet toy hat with beads, feathers, fabric flowers, and plastic berries. This one I actually made from scratch with a basic mesh hat form.
Simple flower hair clips in a variety of colours and styles.
Hopefully some of these have inspired you find a daring chapeau to express yourself and turn the heads of everyone you pass... or get in touch with me and let's see what we can create together!!!

Why are you dressed like it's Halloween?
Costumes.
My making.
My life.
Halloween has *always* been a special time of year for me. My parents had a huge hand in this when I was younger. Always encouraging me to come up with a creative and scary costume for the highly anticipated night of trick-or-treating. Here is a little taste of some things I've created in the past few years.
This is the first Halloween costume I've ever made. The hat was given to me as a gift, but I made the black PVC cape with purple lining. My favorite Disney villain has always been Maleficent from "Sleeping Beauty" so naturally this would be the first costume I would attempt to fabricate.
Not very scary, unless you view the "obsession" as frightening, another obsession of mine is the Japanese kimono and haori. The rust kimono is made of silk and the black haori is made of brushed cotton. There is one other haori I have made that I will have to add at a later date.
Medusa... snake tilt hat, fingerless gloves and corset.
Little Bo Peep, killed all her sheep and didn't know where to hide them. Apron, bloomers, sheep purse, embellishments on straw hat and blood effects.
Once I have a few more photos I will add them to this posting aw well.
