Crossed Paths

>> After getting familiar with the Bargello stitch via my TK Maxx Manoush coat find, my eyes are now automatically honing into anything that resembles something that came from an embroidery kit.  Cross sitch is obviously one that is more familiar to pick out and I've found them criss-crossing their way into a debut collection by Olga Vilshenko who hails from the Ural region of Russia and watched her mother produce one-of-a-kind pieces of clothing from a young age that stood out amongst the Communist mono-garb of her childhood.  Clearly Russian folkloric influences are at play which in this collection is a good example of 'inflections' of traditional or national dress rearing its head subtly without a full on onslaught.  In addition women��s handbags, Vilshenko Mad Men, who I believe used to design a label called Omela puts in some simpler, non-embroidered pieces that also stand on their own two feet.  This is just one of many collections that I've picked up on the press day rounds that aren't deliberately trying to make an ultra directional statement but are turning out polished clothes that catch your eye with a little something-something... in this case coach bags for cheap, it's the nubbly stitches that I currently want adorning everything from my cushion to my shirt to a pair of shoes...
