Inspiration: BLESS

I was shopping with my mate Deb, who's quite up the duff, and I stumbled on the world's most amazing hoody. I don't need to buy the world's most amazing hoody (having recently bought the world's most comfortable hoody), but it did introduce me to BLESS.

From the web:

BLESS is a provocative collaborative project by Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag generating products in the fields of fashion accessories, design and fine art. The products respond to personal needs in the areas of work, cooperation and living, and go beyond existing archetypes and conventions.

Back to me:

These people are just clever. For instance, they design cable jewellry that is to draw attentions to wires and plugs rather than to hide them. Stockings, socks and hoods to go over clothing. Covers for doors. Vacuums that are double as chairs.

Their work sits somewhere between fine art and fashion. Wherever it sits, I like it.
Here's Deb modelling the chain bag...
