The thing about the Sretsis fashion brand is that they are not only lauded for their clothes but also for magnificent retail spaces that make a trip to their stores a dreamy visit to the galaxy of Victorian fairy tales, among other fanciful backdrops. As the brand s universe has creatively widened in the past few years, the name has grown to encompass food and beverage (a fine tea parlour), home décor (wallpaper with fantastical beasts) and dining ware (ceramic unicorn candle holders). Earlier this month, the three Sukhahuta sisters unveiled a home completely fashioned in the Sretsis style for anyone who wants to live in the whimsical flair the brand is so well known for.
Otto von Busch Believes That Fashion Can Flow
Women s Wear Daily (WWD) 7 hrs ago Rosemary Feitelberg
Fashion can have more energy than just being an inanimate product.
That was one of the parting thoughts presented by Otto von Busch, associate professor of integrated design at Parsons School of Design.
More from WWD
In his talk at the Fairchild Media Group Sustainability Forum, titled “Putting the Life and Freedom Back Into Fashion,” von Busch said instead of looking at fashion as objects or commodities, a more expansive view would be to consider how a fashion designer modulates social energies. “First of all, think of fashion as an energy. Think of fashion as a feeling that we curate and that people use to connect to others. We can think of fashion as existing in different vistas and in different domains. As an industry and as designers, we work within these domains,” he said.

Jamilla Okubo is an interdisciplinary artist exploring human experience, history and identity
The Washington-based artist talks us through her recent body of work, currently on show at Mehari Sequar Gallery.
Words
At first, you might think that Jamilla Okubo’s works are digitally crafted for the textures, colour palettes and details are deceivingly flat and smooth. Well, Jamilla is an interdisciplinary artist based in Washington D.C. who flits between the analogue techniques of painting, pattern design and illustration. That’s not to say she doesn’t utilise digital processes at all though, for she usually tends to work on an iPad before transferring her compositions and colour palettes onto the canvas. Either way, she’s always telling a story, and underneath her perfectly positioned layers are narratives of personal development, history and identity.
