fashion friday : mad cortes

Mad Cortes : Designer Mira Vukovic arrived in Australia from Sarajevo eight years ago and four years ago formed the label Mad Cortes - named after a cartoon character she knew as a child. The young Bosnian, a fine arts graduate, emigrated from her war-ravaged home to further ambitions in fashion ... and and the results are fresh and informed.

Mad Cortes : Mercedes Australian Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2005/2006

Really liking Mad Cortes. Just feels like me. Very cotton and very every day. Ricebag also went through an apron faze. It lasted a widdle while and it was all kicked off because of Ghandi's special looms ... long story. Needless to say my friends aren't all that affected anymore by my own eclectic liddle likes, like aprons and white white and bone white and cotton and layers and frilly shirts and bits of floral and mixing things and missing things and yellow and s'more.

RICEBAG'S GENERAL RULE

: do not over do it : do not over do it :

Geddit?? Less is ALWAYS more. Classy not brassy. Heed, heed, heed. Less less less ... liddle gals with lots to say can do it more with less, just enough so someone looking SEES you! We don't dress for the masses, just the ones who will know.
