House of Crimson & Clover

Im bizzy

She's finally done! This one took inspo from concepts I've seen over time from a couple other artists- but this particular design is my own rendition. I challenged myself into something with beading because I havent done anything like it- and I'm really happy with the result! Can't wait to find a model for it!

I need to put that energy SOMEwhere....

All black everything

For Sneak Peek Sunday, here's a little taste of what I've been working on the last 2 weeks.

It's definitely challenged me, and has instigated using more beading in my creations. Initially, I worried it would cheapen the aesthetic and take away from the stainless steel intensity I started with, but this has helped me realize that the right ones can look like a crystal masterpiece.

Stay tuned for the final product♡

Can you guess what it is?

Gross.
The default should always be "off" - but why am I not surprised that the concrpt of consent is hard to men with money?

As I doomscrolled yesterday- I was disheartened to see Etsy, Shein, Amazon, and even secondhand places like Vinted selling more and more fast fashion pieces.

It's not about the low cost- I understand the necessity for accessibility; I always ensure my products have a healthy range to ensure affordability. However, my attempts at sustainability have me in thrift stores constantly- where I'm seeing the FashionNova, Shein, Forever 21, H&M labels over and over - and can only imagine the implications of this long term.
I will continue to learn and attempt upcycled fashion techniques to keep these items out of landfills while also providing unique clothing and accessory options for members of the alt and goth community.
It does not surprise me in the least that France would be the first to protect the sanctity of handmade art and fashion.
One can only hope this will extend to other parts of the world.

This beauty found its new home with someone from the goth market ♡
Summer shows are wrapped, and now the real fun begins...so many new creations are headed to the website soon. Stay tuned for the drop!

Something wicked, but eco-friendly, this way comes....
