Design Porn: Krista R
Krista R creates accessories so divine that you'll want to throw a party immediately so you have somewhere to wear them. (What? New jewellery is a perfectly good reason for a party.) Besides, Krista R isn't just jewellery. The Estonian textiles designer creates pieces that you'll want to buy your very closest friends and they're special enough for your wedding day. They're pieces to make any day more special. Even a rainy Saturday.
Krista sews without sketches, so there's a natural and intuitive feel to her pieces. She finds the process is a little bit like meditation. These antique lace cuffs are £93.50.
It's not just fabric cuffs that Krista creates, but they're the pieces that I'm most taken with. Actually, I think they'd make people want to hold your hand. Wrists deserve a little more attention.
Look at how much detail is in that! Boticca's designers are blowing me away at the moment.
They're so beautiful. I want them all. You could wear them with an ol' sweater and look instantly glamorous. And actually, despite a few of the pieces sneaking over the £100 mark a little bit, I think they're worth every penny. This is embroidery at its very best. I think Krista R is a bit of a genius with a needle and thread.
Love! Love! Love!
