Izumi Benitani II.

There is something magical and soulful about what I am going to call talisman clothes, slow fashion, items hand stitched with time and love. This is what the work of Japanese textile artist Izumi Benitani  embodies in her creations for me. It is beauty but it is also a story and so much more than plastic mass produced clothing that diminishes us our soul and our planet.  

Maybe it seems to rich to 'hippy' but in a life style where less is more this is like wearing the book of your life, wearing your soul on your sleeve.
