We've always known the power of accessorising but New York designer Sheena Matheiken has taken this to the extreme, wearing only ONE dress for an entire year. To be fair, she does has seven copies of the same dress!
Sheena began this as an exercise in sustainable fashion and to raise funds for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India.
Every day she reinvents the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies.
We love how she's combining her passions, looks fabulous and is creating a unique and worthwhile outcome. Go girl!
Keep track of her each day at www.theuniformproject.com.
With all the end of financial year sales in full swing, it's easy to become a little over-excited.
We just had to show you this gorgeous onyx and silver necklace that has just come out of the workshop. It's almost 6ft long! We're calling it the Midnight Garden necklace. Can't wait to see what those clever artisans create next!
It's a bit of a mad house down here at the RB workshop this morning. Jen's in full creative swing, designing the new handcrafted jewellery collection for Summer from materials she gathered in the Golden Triangle. There's boxes of beads and gems everywhere. It looks like we've looted Aladdin's Cave! We're doing a model shoot in the next couple of weeks and I'll post up some snaps to give you a sneak peek!
Just looked out the window and caught the last moments of this glimmering rainbow, which may prove a muse for the rest of the day!
