Worship Worthy loves the factory

Worship Worthy interviews 'I Love Factory'. 'How many styles do you work on that never make it into the collection?
Christopher: We do so many custom pieces and those are never part of the collections. They usually stay at the showroom as inspiration for future custom pieces, or for press or as part of Laurel’s personal collection.

Millinery was big in NYC amongst tenement residents during the late 1800’s, given the current state of the economy do you think we’ll see a resurgence in hand crafted goods?
Christopher: Millinery is something that should be done by hand and made specific. I think right now more than ever people are craving accessories and clothing that is made by hand. They can appreciate the time and effort that goes into making each piece. There is so much clutter out there and if you are going to spend money on something it should be exceptional quality, evoke emotion and be timeless.

We can see your pieces worn by ladies at the historic Kentucky Derby, do events like these inspire specific designs?
Christopher: Not specifically, but that may be since we have never attended one. We do admire a big event like the Kentucky Derby where people have such freedom of costume.

If your work was the lovechild of two people who would they be?
Laurel: I think it would be all those French new–wave movies but if John Waters were directing them instead, and Alice and Wonderland and crew were styling.'

Blue Skies

I'm all for dancing in the rain, however I could'nt hold back a smile when I noticed the gray clouds receding and blue skies overtaking them. And 68 degrees outside?? Who knew DC could be so wonderful. Spring has sprung!
Happy Friday.

TenThings

Pretty vintage bohemian jewelery from ten things

A Peace Treaty

I was going to try and explain it myself, but their about page is better than anything I could say. And fancy too : )
So, I don't remember doing this, (nothing new there) but I guess I signed up for their newsletter some time back. When I check my inbox this morning, there it was, an e-mail from A Peace Treaty, saying their Spring line is out. Obviously, I was intrigued, and when I saw the scarves, blown away. They really are beautiful, and knowing when they came from and that they were hand made, makes them special. I may have to splurge!





And so many more...
