Alice Archer an eye for detail


Design Inspiration - Alice looks to the brush strokes of Henri Fantin - Latour's flower paintings.

I love finding new, up and coming designers to love and the most recent addition to my ever growing list of designer talent is Alice Archer. Discovered whilst flicking through my monthly copy of Elle uk - Alice has an eye for detail when creating the most intricate and beautiful embroidery designs.
Alice says ' I really like creating labour intensive things' , labour intensive being the operative word as each embroidery stitch takes two days to programme into her computer.
Archer states her inspiration is taken from 19th century paintings and her design approach is that of a forensic one.

For me her designs are unique, intricate and beautiful to look at, my favourite piece has to be the denim jacket with the embroidered floral motif. It's not something you see everyday and that's what makes Alice one of London's most talked about young designers.

Weekend Inspiration #10

 

Last Sunday (post cocktail the night before) I snuggled up on the sofa and watched what can be only described as the best classic romance ever - LOVE STORY. If you haven't already seen it then I suggest you do, if not only to see the beautiful Ali MacGraw wearing some super stylish, preppy, 70's fashion.
