The designer of the gloriously dark pieces you see here was born in 1989. I'll just let that sink in. Trip into the mind of one of my new obsessions, Hogan McLaughlin.

Celebrating the dark side of fashion is a big part of Wyrd Words & Effigies, and I get extremely excited whenever I discover a designer doing something different with dark fabrics. Today's important find is Rundholz.

I think I can safely say that your work colleagues would think twice before nabbing your ceramics if they encountered this is the cup cupboard. Get yours at The Cotton Cult.

Lars Andersson, a designer after my heart.  I've given him a Pinterest board of his own I'm that enamoured. There's Viking/Fantasy/Batman/Apocalyptic sorts of styles going on here. Perfection in clothing form.
