mina


update: i have finally figured out how to post largest style images on the blog. yay! so i tried it out with beautiful mina coats, up close and large:) i used this way for large image posting. but i have since seen that is actually not good, as may be a dodgy shortcut. i think i am meant to use a separate image hoster. hmmm. i will be looking in to it further...a learning curve for me because i am not so techno-savvy...

some pictures of the magical mina perhonen that i like, too. pictures are sourced via (in order): 
mina perhonen site 
mina perhonen site (x2)

and i think this filmclip that hiki posted is simply the best to see mina perhonen fashions in their natural habitat. this is an earlier post on mina perhonen textiles. 
and a mention of the mina perhonen embroidery book.

some more fashion: 
i like this flower stockings pink shoes combo over on a polish blog (found via bitsandbobbins.com). 
my vintage vogue is beautiful (found via vegan and vintage).
the obus summer two tone action i am a fan of.
i hope to find a melbourne supplier of the polkadot style of swedish minimarket, thanks to tspoon of sunshine,
and the september issue is as good as they say, i think.

  3. wow, those coats... i wouldn't mind one!

    i've been struggling a bit with adapting my blog layout and posting larger pictures. i've now found a way i'm happy with and since friends keep asking me, will post something about it very soon (hopefully today or tomorrow).

    anyway - happy weekend!

  6. oooh, i love mina! I saw an exhibition of his designs a few years ago, when I was living in tokyo. I remember saving up to buy one of his embroidered egg shaped totes!
    He has a beautiful special aesthetic.
    Thanks for posting the large photos!
