Ardistia Dwiasri

I’ve recently discovered upcoming New York based designer Ardistia Dwiasri and have a lot of love for pieces from her Fall/Winter 2007 and Spring/Summer 2007 collections.

Ardistia is “all about self indulgence and treats, summarising the essence of a women’s inner strength, beauty and desire, drawing on confidence from the whimisical secret detail in every piece of clothing”.

I don’t know about all that but I am definitely a fan of her sharp, unique silhouettes, particularly the garbadine jackets with the extensive metal button detailing.

Having a day job (unfortunately) that requires me to dress like I mean business, I would love to have some of her tailored jackets to add a unique yet still professional element to my ‘workwear’ wardrobe.

Pyuupiru Planetaria

Pyuupiru is a 3-D costume maker from Tokyo. His works are derived from delusions and obsessions, created without the use of patterns. Sound strange already? It gets stranger. Once complete, Pyuupiru dons his hand-knitted creations and executes a performance based on the character.
The photographs shown below are Pyuupiru dressed in his ‘Planetaria’ collection. Me, I’m interested to see exactly how one ‘performs’ the character of ‘Mars’ or ‘Jupiter’!
Oddness aside, they really are quite clever aren’t they?!

"Earth"                                                      "Jupiter"

 "Mars"                                                     "Mercury"

 "Saturn"                                                    "Venus"
