DRIES Vs BH FOR AHD...

In addition to art and food, another love of mine, trawling close behind... is fashion. From all of the fashion weeks gone, and images from shows I've excitedly trawled through, DRIES VAN NOTEN SPRING 2013 RTW, remains my absolute favourite. I can't however put my finger on exactly what it was that made me swoon. Perhaps it's was his pairing of masculine against feminine? His subtle nod to the 90s? The glorious dynamic between pattern and cloth? His playful plaid play? OR quite simply those stark white Kurt Cobain-esque sunglasses together with that perfect-pout? What I do know is, for me, it made the ultimate moving cloth collage.  

So in honor of his spectacular effort, I thought it might be fun to pair DRIES with AHD ARTIST BETH HOECKEL. Two of my favourite 'collage artists' side-by-side.

RECIPE Vs BJT FOR AHD...

One of our favourite things to do in the Town house is cook and eat. We aren't shy of either. So we thought it might be fun, as summer approches, to take three of AHD artist BILLIE JUSTICE THOMSON's fabulous kitsch food cards and match them with an equally fabulous recipe from a few of our favourite food blogs. So here they are:

1) PEACH AND BLUEBERRY GALETTE Vs PEACH BY BILLIE JUSTICE THOMSON FOR AHD

2) TOASTED MARSHMALLOW COCONUT MILK ICE CREAM Vs RAINBOW ICE CREAM BY BILLIE JUSTICE THOMSON FOR AHD

3) WATERMELON SALT AND CHILLI GRANITA Vs WATERMELON BY BILLIE JUSTICE THOMSON FOR A HAPPY DEATH
