this episode is from a couple weeks ago, but i just now got a chance to view it, oops!: threadbanger + ruffeo hearts lil snotty (see their etsy shop here, their work is so fun) show ya how to fashion a sweet space helmet hoodie sweatshirt out of old sweatshirts. totally great!

also: i'm totally grooving on the duo's personal style...particularly those oversized glasses and asymmetrical haircuts. they are like hipsters from the future past. and that gal's earrings? so absurdly, delightfully huge...love em.

great work as always, threadbanger...

some pieces from etsy seller kaylim, who hails from los angeles. the coupling of sweatshirt knit and hand-knit elements in her work is, in my opinion, pretty brilliant. also, it's very modern and feminine as well, but not overtly so. personally, i'm a BIG BIG fan of sweatshirt material (oooh, so cozy!), and cowl necks (duh!), so any designer who pairs these, especially in such a lovely, inspired way, is practically guaranteed to make me a fan...

dame vivienne westwood's DIY tips

simply bloody BRILLIANT.
i'm with the foxy man, the best bit o' wisdom given by ms. viv is: "there is status in wearing your old favourites over and over until they grow old (patina) or fall apart". :)
(i.e., to me: in these times, down with the trendmill, up with being you and getting the most out of what you already have and love. HEAR HEAR!!)
