chromatic glitter bomb

This morning a little glitter bomb exploded in my inbox. This wonderful write up from Tiffany of Six Six Sick and Tiskaidekaphobia fame made me laugh at an early hour:

"Becca likes to party as much as I do, and designs many of her outfits for girls like us, who live to dress up..." Hahahaha yes!

"For Spring 2011, Becca and her partner Emily Kappes expanded on their Cities and Cages collection, with more body-transforming silhouettes, and gravity-defying boning tricks. The geometric constructions were inspired by shoji screens in Japanese architecture, and with this in mind, you can easily see the influence of Becca's background as an architect coming through in the engineering of her work."

Thanks Tiffany!
