Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.

I love Stijn Ossevoort's Flare dress. She really owns the material and turns the wires into a distinct part of her piece.

thanks,
After creating the dresses for Philips (Frisson, Bubelle) - I felt the need to create a dress which does not pick up the wearer's emotion (isn't clothing meant to hide our emotions) but amplifies the beauty in our environment.
People seem more and more disconnected from their environment - Flare is an attempt to make people aware of the beauty of wind...
The dress itself is has been a design/dressmakers/engineerings challenge which not many people recognise. Not like most wearable electronic pieces it has no dangling wires or circuit boards inside the piece. Every technological bit is embedded in the embroidery or cast in the buts of the flowers. Comfort has been my foremost concern, it's a pleasure to wear,
take care,
Stijn

I have to admit, I do have a soft spot for emotive fashion and I did love Bubelle. It is one of the few pieces that I can't stop staring at. In that way, it is quite arresting. All the same, Flair does sound like a feat of design. There is such an art to soft circuity. I hope for an occasion to see Flare up close.
