Erin Gilkes is a student at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. She sells her “Table Tapestries” under the name RINN textiles. They are quite lovely and I’m sure are even more so in person.

Mimi Jung is a Cooper Union grad, a recent LA transplant and an artist and jewelry maker who works under the clever name Brook&Lyn. She just unveiled these weavings on her site and they are popping up all around the internet! Mimi’s work stands out from the crowd not because it’s groundbreaking but because of what she achieves (elegance in spades!) working with familiar materials and constructs.

I do believe that (good) fashion is art, but to be honest it’s rare that I find myself inspired by fashion in the same way that I am by art. And while high fashion has its own seductive language, it is conceived in such a narrow, limited context. Even edgy, artistic fashion must still embue sex appeal, luxury and a brand. It’s the “out there” conceptual fashion, forging altogether new aesthetics, like Georgina Santiago’s Minutiae, that inspires me for real. This is the epitome of “fashion as art” in my book.
As for the work itself, Georgina’s collection is inspired by the familiar and the alien in her own body, specifically the skin on her hand. She plays with dusty blue and pale flesh tones, wrinkles, folds, shiny and dull textiles. It’s beautiful, weird and, yes, a bit unsettling.

Rose de Borman is a UK-based textile designer, painter and illustrator whose Etsy shop I make sure to pop into from time to time. Rose always has wonderfully unique and exquisitely-made goods, but these hand-painted, one-of-a-kind silk pillows totally blew me away.
