Balenciaga’s metal line. Working in fashion thought me that every normie wants to feel unique somehow lol The mainstream trying to appropriate elements from the underground is nothing new… And it matches Demna’s pretentiousness. #fashionsky #fashionhistory #metal

Marie Antoinette wearing her chamise de Reine. Instrumental in increasing the popularity of cotton as a fabric. #fashionsky #fashionhistory #arthistory

The beauty of spring is that now I can wear my bamboo, hemp, nettle and linen handmade outfits 🌿 #fashionsky #slowfashion #handmade #artisan #sustainability #sustainablefashion #embroidery #textile #fiberart

'A Fairy tells' is an interdisciplinary project, exploring slow living, queer masculinity and Earth based spirituality through the arts of Fashion and Poetry. Essays, fragments and visual notes on dressing, desire and the mythology of Beauty. #author #poet #queer #fashionsky #mythology #pagan

So many things happened between the beginning of this project and today… But this spring is giving me the motivation to finally finish this embroidered shirt collar. #fashionsky #slowfashion #embroidery #fiberart #textile #handmade #artisan #artist #sustainablefashion #diy

Queer folklore is a series that explores the themes of queerness and homoeroticism in mythology, folklore and fairy tales as a source of inspiration for my creative work within the mediums of textile art, embroidery, fashion and poetry. #embroidery #textileart #mythology #gay #queer

Three things I enjoy seeing in the morning: My ballet barre by the sunlight My plants growing My cat's belly #slowlife #slowliving #cosy #lifestyle

Sometimes a sewing project can get too messy and chaotic, and you might have the feeling that you don't know what you are doing. So you just keep going, trusting your work in progress, doing what you know, and just wait to see the final piece. #sewing #fashionsky #slowfashion #handmade #artisan

In this garden of the Gods There is a memory… #embroidery #handmade #witchsky #pagan #art #artisan

This piece explores fashion as a symbol of overconsumption, superficiality, and the desire to maintain social appearances. #fashionsky #fashionhistory #writtingcommunity #authorsky #blogging

Ball gown, France, 1898 Simple, timeless ball gown here. Super elegant, with the sequins (?) really lifting the black silk. A lovely dress, but I always worry about trails getting dirty and damaged! #fashionsky #fashionhistory #dresshistory #theMet

After a bed bound weekend and missing the Equinox, I still enjoy the beauty of blooming things 🪷🌹 afairytells.substack.com/p/an-allegor... #slowfashion #poetry #witchsky #pagan #handmade

‘Whenever you need, once in a month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me who am the Queen of all Witcheries’ #witchysky #pagan #witchcraft

Found this on a package of something that I don't remember what it was… I only know that it will make a beautiful button for an embroidered hemp bolero jacket. #slowfashion #fashionsky #sewing #handmade #artisan

This fabric is beautiful that I was very anxious while cutting it. 👁️👄👁️ #sewing #sewsky #fashionsky #handmade #craft #artisan #slowfashion #textile #fiberart

that's what I can offer to the algorithm right now: A short, slow and barely edited peek of my work in progress of a Jacket for my next collection, using a vintage curtain fabric that I found in a flea market in n Milan 🌿 #fashionsky #sewing #sewsky #art #handmade #slowfashion #slowliving #craft

New embroidery set up 🪡❤️ #embroidery #fiberart #textile #sewing

It's probably a confession, but when I write about a slow life, I'm actually also trying to convince myself. Taking things slowly, relaxing and don't pressure myself can cause me a lot of anxiety, as I feel that my mind is still conditioned into an overprotective mindset. #slowlife

Mini #writing exercise 1. Be deliberately cryptic. Write the first line of your book in a way that creates mystery. Send it to me if you write one 🤓

It's giving Elizabeth Bathory, and I don't think we need that 👁️👄👁️

The urge to start learning a musical instrument…
