Mended Veil

I’ve been a fan of Mended Veil for some time. I love my starfish pendant. This blood drop pin really caught my eye. Wish I could have executed the wash better, but I’m too tired to re-do the whole thing!

Barbara I Gongini

December 3rd, 2008

I’m not really a fan of posting things I’ve seen on other blogs, but this designer was just too cool to pass up. So, thanks to coolhunting.

Barbara I Gongini likes to take a conceptual, experimental approach to fashion design, and believes firmly that fashion can encourage social change. The line also draws inspiration through cooperation and interaction with artists across the spectrum of artistic disciplines such as film, photography, and music.
The label is also firmly committed to sustainable business practices, which not only means producing a ‘green’ product, but adhering to a slower growth business model, as well.

Noble aspirations aside, I think the clothes are just really cool! Also, be sure to check out the quicktime video of the runway show-it feels more like an installation piece.
