inspired by fabrics..
The six little patchworks above from Jamaican-born designer Jessica Odgen & Tunisian-born Jean Touitou and their A.P.C. Quilt Project , launched by the common interest for traditional craft and inspired by the for years archived fabrics from the french brand A.P.C., which could be recycled that way. Below some antique turkish and moroccan kilims.

I just discovered the lovely blog from Lena Corwin and am pretty much excited about her book i just ordered. I found the beautiful fabric works from Fabrics Interseason there too.
“the coordinates of fashion and design in general, contemporary fine arts, cultural history, performance and (electronic) music describe the areas and interfaces, within which fabrics interseason locate and position their works and projects. in accordance with their artistic method, the projects, performances and the collections and presentation are based upon concepts which are developed from an intensive research of socio-political discourses and phenomena.”
