Whimsical and decadent, their line is is what girlie girl dreams are made of. For Spring they present us with plenty of their signature corsets as well as cocktail dresses in cotton candy colors that are just dripping in sequins, feathers, and other delicious embellishments.

 Fashionista Here’s a look at the lates project by Ted Noten at The Galerie Rob Koudjis in Amsterdam, ”haunted by 36 women’ is based on the archetypical perceptions of the woman:the femme fatale, the girl-next-door, the suffragette, the fashionista and so on. noten has collected secondhand accessories, construction material, jewels and cuddly toys to create an assemblage or portrait of each type of woman. by using the rapid prototyping technique, these assemblages are transmuted into scale models in every size and material possible, even as tiny as a ring. all details are visible in the object that is then built up from synthetic or precious metal powder, pressed into a ring or bracelet”. A closer look at some of the pieces on the next page. via Designboom.

ONEANDAHALF is a line still in it’s infancy. The first collection is titled “Heartbreak” and the inspiration was just that. Using a breakup as a muse for a clothing line sounds a bit bizarre but the result was charming. While the color palette is filled with somber black and grey and fringe was used to represent tears the overall feel is very endearing. I would go ahead and guess that it was a challenge to create an entire collection that is so beautiful based around something so sad. Highsnobette will definitely be on the lookout for more from ONEANDAHALF.
