Another lovely discovery from Joy. It was refreshing to see someone design an accessory that really plays with form and use. Refreshing because the form wasn't something immediately familiar or trendy, like let's say, a bird (however cute and irresistible they can be)... and it's just a nice break from alot of the surface design going on. Hey, I got nothing against surface design (I do that, too), but it's nice when people think about the object beyond merely slapping an illustration or pattern on it. And I like that Aiko's accessories work for both fashion and interiors. Lots of levels of thought at work here.
My favorite line from Aiko's website: " I see my accessories as clothes that don't have to fit, which will suit all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons." Cool.
this IS fantastic!
