Eley Kishimoto

I love this. This is shipped flat. You then pop out the pieces and assemble the chair. How cool is that?

Eley Kishimoto collaboration with Ben Wilson, buy from here.

I also like this horse-print top.

and these horse-print tights.

But I saved the images so long ago that the items are no longer available. Still, the hosiery section has some very great looking socks. I like the Grandpa and the Diamond.

Not even almost

Let's just say that there was a wee bit of a chance that I could have worked on a project that would involve Mark Eley of Eley Kishimoto, and that it was dashed even before the pieces were laid out on the chess board.

Mark Eley was one of the designers I had the fortune to meet and interview back when I was in publishing. Again, I no longer remember the details, only that I was fascinated by the design duo (him and his wife Wakako Kishimoto who didn't come), their creative process and their trademark prints.

Essentially, I like what they do and I'd have been very happy to work on something involving them. Unfortunately, it's not mean to be.

Shoe love

It has come to a point where I'm afraid to click on the shoe link on the Topshop website. But I did anyway and was relieved to find nothing. Which is good considering I'm still waiting for three pairs of shoes to come in.

However. At ASOS, it was a different matter. Still, it's not like I can bear to shell out that much money for a pair of shoes, so I suppose it's safe to admire from a distance.

I really love this pair of wedges by Eley Kishimoto. Snake plus yellow/black checks. Who'd have thought?

Then there were these chunky heel sandals from Salvador Sapena. I don't like white shoes very often, but these work really well. The thick patent straps, the buckle, the stacked, striped heels and the swirly insoles all come together and are calling out to me very loudly. At £120.00, however, I shall have to ignore their cries for my ownership.

What I do have, is this pair of houndstooth heels. Colleagues were ordering shoes from gojane.com and since one of them claimed to have bought a very comfortable pair of heels from the site and since it's not very expensive (ie. would be cheaper than if I saw something similar in Singapore), and also since I have a soft spot for houndstooth anything, I gave in. Let's hope the size works out.
