It's now a holiday tradition. So once again, I'm postimg about the custom-made Christmas stockings I create every holiday season. You can read all about my previous stocking creations here, here, and here. And because each year's stocking is a surprise, I usually post the creations a year late.
For Christmas 2012, I turned to the world of fashion for inspiration and one of the trendiest fashion brands available today: Commes des Garcons. Trendy might be the wrong word, because CDG is a long time super brand among the fashion cognoscenti. And the company's Play label is a darling among fashionistas in the know. The "heart" which is the label's mascot can be found on celebrity movers and shakers the world over, staring angrily out at the world. One of the things I find most interesting about Commes des Garcons in general and Play in particular is their willingness to collaborate with other surprising brands. Here's an example of the Play collaboration with Converse.
Last year, I decided to imagine what a collaboration might look like between Commes des Garcons and the brand that is my annual crazy Christmas stocking. As always, the stockings are created using the basic materials of Christmas stockingdom: namely felt, beads, sequins, and glitter. Without further adieu, I give something I'm calling Commes des Christmas.
Yes, the heart has been completely hand beaded and surrounded by black Swarovski crystal polka dots. Here are a few shots of the details.
And as is the case in recent years, I've also created a companion stocking to hold all the loot.
No beading hear. Just the magic of felt. This year's stocking is already done. I'm not sure I can wait until next year to post the pictures.
