Re: Moschino

I did it! Yehhhh! Well, it wasn't quiiite that hard, but it took patience and a long back stretch sesh afterwards. Being hunched over like that for so long is not the best posture - Mikhail Baryshnikov would not approve. At first, I couldn't decide whether or not to use the gold - I was convinced that silver on grey (gray? damnit!) was the best, but I only bought two boxes of safety pins and was therefore sort of forced to use some of the gold ones to fill in the spaces that needed a couple extra. I think it came out well, although the pins are a slight bit heavy and make the wrap droop, but I've decided that: a. the wrap is supposed to be drappy-droopy and b. it will probably take me forever to take them all off and then reapply them to an article of clothing with more structure, so that project will have to wait. Also, I like the way this looks. I like the way this looks. I like the way this looks. Right? Ok, smile and nod...

Safety pins: $1 per box, Dollarama (aka. HEAVEN)

P.S. For you francophones out there, please note that Quebecois call safety pins "epingles de surete"! hihi!

So I was on SeaofShoes last night, doing the rounds as they say (only in our 21st century life this pertains to a much different and more technologically adept stratosphere also known as the blogosphere), when I noticed an absolutely phenomenal jacket (above) she calls the Moschino safety pin jacket (see the post about Hanna Bernhard). HOWEVER, I've been googling and binging and yahooing to no avail. I cannot find the beauty that is this jacket. What I have found are still beautiful, but not quite the same. First is the jacket that is not as long and much more pinny:

Then, is the dress - a little too long but still stunning:

Do you know what her jacket is called?

Interestingly enough, what I have found on the world wide webosphere are lots and lots of DIY projects inspired by the Moschino safety pin creations. So I guess that's just what I'll have to do! Stay tuned... :)
