On my craft/fashion brand's blog (link below) I also posted this pondering about whether or not it's cool for the indie school to be inspired by the likes of Michelle Obama and her funky-chic statement necklace here.
It's so bold, there are so many options to take different roads with this inspiration. And I see stuff I could totally do, but is that crafty kosher?
For you crafters and designers, would you take inspiration from the celeb scene? Would you buy something like that?
Oh, but that's not all -- apparently it's a thing. Like some inside clique-y thing. And there are coordinating panties. With pubic hair.On the panties. (And how a mannequin gets camel toe is an odd thing, but it's there, too.)
I feel bad every time I must (must) make fun of something handmade. Apologies to craftsperson, Miss Katrina. (As seen on Etsy.)
Note; this is in good fun, and I know this costume serves a special purpose to the designer and others, and hopefully this post will bring useful exposure.
Expertly hand-finished Italian silk knit. 2" at widest point. Contrast color at tie tip and neck piece: red on classic navy, dark purple on black. Made in Italy.

A knit tie, eh? One would think this is something to be made by one's self or bought from www.etsy.com, but J. Crew really has the only truly-tie-like and more detailed finished items for sale. Hmm. So ... spend on retail, mass-produced, make it one's self (barely a pattern needed!) ... or buy one from a handmade artisan, no matter the look?
In this week of new designs - what's your opinion?
