We first came across Upstate back in 2010 and were intrigued by their intricate tie-dyed run of flowing garments. Recently, we had the chance to revisit the duo behind the dye at their studio…

I am a big sucker for everything minä perhonen from Japan … when I saw his gorgeous fabrics being used for these lampshades and then styled together with ceramic stands my heart just melted …
A Japanese online shop called Flame is selling them and although I couldn't read a word the images made me want to push the 'buy' button 🙂
I know it is a bit of a darkish ambiance but I kind of like it … do you too or do you rather go for bold and bright or black and white? ps. there is another collage below the break…

Absolutely worth waiting for … the new collection by Dutch design studio Tas-ka.
Twilight, shade, dawn! … are the six new prints screenprinted on high-quality cotton, all fabricated in The Netherlands.
The ladies from tas-ka are bgining the sensation of 'Schemer, lommer, dageraad' (dutch for Twilight, shade, dawn!) which is the elusiveness of what happens in the early morning and evening, with the clear colours of the rising- and setting sun and the darkness of the night.
And the new collection is now available in their webshop.

At the NYIGF I had the pleasure of meeting the two ladies from fog linen work. I am a big fan of this Japanese label. Their collection linens and small home accesoiries are just perfect!
What I didn't know was that often at tradeshows companies sell their items so they don't have to ship them back again home … the sale started at 12 and I believe at 13 everything in the fog linen booth was sold out, very lucky I was indeed to get my hands on a couple of trays, some linen tape and the new linen wall calendar by Lota for fog linen work… [MORE IMAGES]
All images by me.
Hope you are enjoying and liking her work as much as I do.
I can never get enough writing about Japanese label minä perhonen … and have done it quite a bit over the past couple of years, but seeing the new winter collection 2013 this morning was again drooling over all the things I saw …
Where shall I begin .. one of the choucho's, the notebooks or the coasters, the moon letters or a kimono dress… what would you choose?
I will just let you enjoy the images and many more you can find at the minä perhonen website.

All images are from the minä perhonen website and I believe were taken by Koji Honda.
When a favorite blogger/photographer of mine is working together with a Swedish printmaker something beautiful must come out of it … the new collection by Tove Johansson is simply stunning.
I love the pillows, the lampshades, teatowels and of course the kids' collection too.
And if this is only just the beginning than I am sure we will hear and see much more of this talented lady.
Tove Johansson is a Swedish designer based in Paris working in the fields of fashion and printmaking for interior, accessories and stationary. Enjoy!
Tove hasn't given me any information wheter her collection is already availble online to buy but you can send her an email for further enquiries.
