Niels Peeraer’s spring 2013 look book is a fascinating trip into the mind of a most talented young Antwerp-born designer. Peeraer now lives in Paris and produces a collection “made out of vegetable tanned bridle leather in combination with brass fittings, carefully crafted but still with the intention to celebrate the natural beauty and strength of the leather.”
Created for any dreamer who feels connected or touched by the piece, surpassing the boundaries of womenswear and menswear. Peeraers’ world is not about shocking or making a statement, it’s simply about bringing an innocent happiness to the seriousness of everyday life.
‘There is no limit to cuteness’, says Peeraer.

I’ve supported Harun Mehmedinovic’s fantastic Kickstarter project for the last month, discovering it by accident in my Facebook news stream. His images are superb and the story behind them equally so. I was on a bit of a guilt trip with Harun, and I explain why in these earlier posts. I didn’t just discover the photographer a few weeks ago.

Kickstarter: Anne Loves Harun Mehmedinovic’s Bloodhoney* Seance
Please join me in supporting the kind of visionary talent that AOC tries to embrace and cultivate. Kickstarter has given Harun no help in achieving his success. Rather his friends — and I include myself on that list — have rallied behind him. Steve Shaw of Treats! assures me that this weekend’s Treats! newsletter will cover Harun’s campaign. I’d like to see other bloggers rally behind this super talented guy Harun Mehmedinovic as an example of what artists can do together. ~ Anne
