MissMishMish

I've been promising to do some more in depth coverage of a couple of people whose work REALLY stands out for me - Yasmin Bochi, a designing powerhouse of only 24 years of age, responsible for yasminbochi.etsy.com, yasminbochi.com and the awesome blog Miss Mish Mish is the feature for today. She is based in Belgium and studies art science - and her grasp of art history and the richness of textile design history are really evident in her pieces.

yasminbochi.com is an amazing source for really one of a kind items. Yasmin's interest is vintage items and vintage imagery and customization with artwork and contemporary image transfer process. The thing I find most remarkable is that this stuff is very painterly, very lush, but retains a very modern contemporary here-and-now feel - it manages to be romantic but totally ducks the trap of boring sentimentality because it's so darn *interesting* to look at.

Here's a favorite of mine. Yes, it's not jewelry, but this is my puppet universe and I love bags:




So lovely!

Here's a link to the gallery page of bags on yasminbochi.com
and one to the jewelry page which is filled with stylish starlets and little Russian counting dolls.

I hope you love looking at these pieces as much as I do.
