Maldoror

In relation to my previous post, is it odd at all that, whilst I loathe to spend any daylight hours in darkness, I can't help but be drawn to black clothing? Or photos of black clothing worn in dark places? Whatever such neurosis may be called, I'm sure these noir frocks by from Polish designer Grzegorz Matląg's label Maldoror would look just as fantastic while worn in the sun.

Deconstruction and (not) mesh

Two new favorites in The Shop to brighten up your Friday afternoon/evening:

Much too expensive, but it's deconstructed, and made from two (recycled?) sweaters by Grzegorz Matląg of Polish Maldoror label. Glorious indeed.

This, on the other hand, is rather affordable. And it comes from Study NY, the collective run by sweetheart Tara St. James (remember I posted about her here?). I've been thinking about incorporating some mesh into my wardrobe lately, as the layering possibilities are simply inherent in the material's properties. Time to email Tara...

Edit: I guess I was too quick to post! As Tara informs me, this lovely top is not mesh, but a very lightweight silk poplin. Oops!
