Taking our cue from Edmund White, we have been peddling the cobbled streets of Paris and have stumbled upon tucked away discoveries that make Paris the place that it is… La Perle for a cool after-dinner Rose in the Marais, an impromptu performance by world famous chantuese Keziah Jones at Le Connetable, an unforgettable raspberry tart on the Il de Cite… and the new vinyl from Sebastian Tellier. Ah oui, c’est bon.

Mad Madge

Recently we spent the afternoon researching our next collection in the chilly basement of the Powerhouse Museum Archives.

We found this crazy piece by Madge Gill from the 1920’s. She was one of the first female British Outsider Artists in London and her now famous work is known as Mediumistic Art. Madge went mad after her daughter died in the flu epidemic and would speak for hours to the spiritual guides in her head while she embroidered her wild thoughts onto linen dresses.

We quite loved her madness.
