I am having quite the jewellery obsession at the moment. I yacked with Yazbukey the other day, and I've found a new lady I have to tell you about next week.
Today, take a peek at Brokenfab. Fabienne Morel lives in London and makes hand-beaded necklaces and fabrics inspired by "Disco, Boogie, Synth, Funk, Electro, Detroit Techno, Dubsteps, Broken Beats, Future Soul". See,
Music? Disco is listened to. She doesn't mention skwee remixes, however. Nor skifflestep.
In primary school, the older girl I idolised used to make beaded necklaces on a little loom. They were not even half as wild or tangential as these. Turns out, neither was she. Bummer.
The angles and colour combos of Morel's pieces certainly make me feel a bit Apache Disco right now*. Just imagine turning up to the club with one of these on your person. You really would rock the house right. Brokenfab is taking orders, and as you can imagine, the pieces take quite a long time to make. But you'll be quite rewarded by their angular majesty.
Morel has two other fabric commisssions underway and also did these amazing print clashes for Ashish from autumn/winter 2009:
