Children of Vision

September 30th, 2009

I was very happy to have randomly discovered this amazing New Zealand boutique, Children of Vision. Their philosophy, which is listed on their main page, is to be, “…fearless supporters of all that is avant garde, intellectual, and unusual”. While I recognized a few names like Bernhard Willhelm, A’N’D’, c. neeon, complexgeometries, Daniel palillo, Peter Jensen, Hansel from Basel, and Makin Jan Ma there were quite a few I haven’t heard of yet and I find that exciting. Of course seeing as that is the main focus of the blog! Any online or brick-and-mortar that supports quality independent designers is well deserving of promotion and support too!

They seem to rotate their stock pretty frequently, so it’s a site that merits frequent visits. They do ship internationally, although you will have to do the currency conversion yourself as everything is in New Zealand dollars.

Daily Wear and Makin Jan Ma

February 24th, 2009

I received this amazing cape/poncho by Makin Jan Ma yesterday.This isn’t really daily wear because I didn’t wear the shoes or the cape yesterday, but I had to try it on as soon as I got it out of the box. I love it.

Be sure to check out the link above. I’ve posted a few photos below from the ‘Can I Come Inside’ line. Makin Jan Ma isn’t just a clothing designer though, he blends film, photography, poetry, illustration and fashion into a fascinating creative melange. His clothing is created for the characters in his films, but you can buy the clothes his actors wear. An interesting concept.
