THE PRINCE OF PRINTS: KAFFE FASSETT



So seeing as it was the weekend 
(it was only a couple of days ago, remember?)
we were in the mood for a bit of an outing.
We pulled on some TEDDIE SHORTS and a very old jumper with holes in the elbows
and almond milk latte in hand, 
we headed across the bridge. 


And what did we find?
an exhibition on one of our heros, 
monsieur Kaffe Fassett.
Talk about a life in colour;
the man is a painter, quilter, textile, tapestry and mosaic designer.
His are the fabrics we have loved and used for many years of our bohemian collections
Why, of course artichoke and beetroot are the perfect pairing with your Ming vase:

Our favourite part, easily the studies for those fantastical textiles:
Hello Hippie Garden!






Oh what a beautiful garden he grows.
Had we known we would have dressed more appropriately for the occasion, in one of our garments made from his jolies tissues.
like this one:
Olivia in ALIX of BOHEMIA Livvy Dress in made from Kaffe's Beach Roses
 Or this one:
Bella in an ALIX of BOHEMIA custom Maxi Dress
Or perhaps a favourite variety of Teddie: 
ALIX of BOHEMIA Teddie Shorts in Kaffe's Lavender Surf
Hippie Mama in ALIX of BOHEMIA Lemonade Blouse in Kaffe's acid


We drenched our little brains in colour and soaked up all that acid and day-glo whimsy.
You must go! its fantastico.

GREEN LEMONADE


THIS IS OUR ANTIDOTE TO A CASE OF THE MONDAYS: MAMAN WEARS THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA LEMONADE BLOUSE.
SHE TAKES HER NAME FROM OUR FAVOURITE GREEN JUICE CONCOCTION (DEMONSTRATED, ABOVE, MID SIP) WHICH COMBINES KALE, FUJI APPLES, LEMONS AND GINGER IN A JUICER, MAKING FOR A PARTICULARLY VIRTUOUS START TO THE WEEK. EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A CRUNCHY VEGAN GREEN GODDESS LIKE WE PRETEND TO BE, GO FOR THE BLOUSE, IT HAS NO BITTER AFTERTASTE. 


ALIX OF BOHEMIA LEMONADE BLOUSE, MADE TO ORDER. SHOWN ABOVE IN KAFFE ELECTRIC COTTON PRINT, WITH ACID YELLOW TIES AND CUFFS. 
AS USUAL, THE FINISHING FIDDLY BITS ARE ALL DONE BY HAND; WE LOVE THE ROMANCE OF A GOOD OLD FASHIONED HAND STITCH.
