Artistic, Lavish, Functional

Copper Alloy Cufflinks

By Paul Smith

Available Here

Have you ever thought of an idea for a garment and then been gutted to see it materialize in somebody's work, but not as good as it looked in your ideal image, of course. Here are three items I found on ASOS's Top 100 Holiday Picks that I thought of, before I knew said items already existed in their form- I promise, but with little money at uni and no design house or designer to work with/under (as of yet) and a shortage of sewing know-how I slept on the ideas... my favorite:



Waxed Cotton and Leather Combo By Ally Capelino, Prices start at £135




The Contrast Colour turn-up... By Ringspun, available at Asos


Simple short shorts, textured and printed

By ASOS (only £22, I might have to get involved!)

MMM Artisanal

Made by hand, from old and new fabrics, and it comes with a guarantee but still this is not worth £300, Maison Martin Margiela

Stunning photography, not so nice product
