Everyone reviews fashion for our generation, or sometimes for toddlers, but what about the older generations? What about our Grand Ma’ we love ?! That’s why 24-year- old French designer Fanny Karst created the Old Ladies Rebellion proving that anyone can be elegant and Rock n’ Roll at any age. All the dresses are made to order, they are printed, fitted and finished by hand ! She has had a lot of buzz in Europe, especially London and Paris. So why not soon to the US!? I think its such a interesting and cute concept ! I love it !

Swedish design students Tove Jansson and Per Emanuelsson have collaborated to create what they called Chain shoes. A concept based on two very opposite ideas; floating and the restriction of being chained down. They feel like some torture chamber device to me, but brilliant nonetheless.

And whats the worst that can happen, your instructor disapproves, oh well!

The Chain shoes won the first prize in the “Shoemania” design competition which took place last week in conjunction with the Nordic Shoe and Bag Fair and The Swedish Association of Agents in Stockholm. The jury consisted of Camilla Thulin, fashion designer Henrik Mattsson, art directors Sara Winter and Gilis Hagelin, and L & P Nierenburg.
