 bestgirlwins, the notorious line and moniker representing artist Bree Nichols, latest collection, Light as a Feather, examines the sacrosanct in every day objects and the natural world. Inspired by the dark arts, Nichols culls symbols and talismans from the occult. "I was, as I always am, inspired by nature. But more importantly, specific to this collection, I thought a lot about animism and our constant need to pervert nature as a way of controlling or understanding its power." Light as a Feather mines historical rituals of protection and magic and reimagines their influence.
Nichols, who studied art and industrial design, describes herself as "a disciple of the undisciplined." Yet her dedication and fierce intelligence belies the joke. But it does capture the cross -pollination between mediums and the promiscuous talent of her restless methods. |
 A delightful combination of Victorian-inspired elegance and Gothic imagery, Kimberly Baker's jewelry designs harken eras past. |
 JILL LINDSEY It started with girlhood sketches and taking refuge amid a closetful of clothes. That was Kansas. New York included work at Temperley London and talent refinement from technical masters and creative luminaries. Seattle was a degree in Fashion Design and is, for now, home sweet home. Jill Lindsey's designs start with a detail and finale with functionality, which she does for you. Drawing inspiration from visual art, fashion and film, Jill's technique and her final product are reference inspiration from vintage couture to modernism. |
