You´ve propably heard about and seen ads the Comme des Garçons for H&M collection. As much as I adore the mentioned fashion house, I´ll pass this one. Instead I stumbled upon Helena Hörstetd´s work. She has a somewhat similar neo-victorian designstyle and a fascination for pleats and black. I´m especially fond of that harlequin pleated cape. Again this is an another old sewing technique (frequently used in the 70´s) that should be re-invented. I love how Helena has worked it and this will go on my to-do list. These pieces are timeless and the form would look great made from secondhand leather clothes (also in multicolor), woollen men´s suits, neckties or household textiles.
