Lucia Chain


 Lucia Chain's 'Lo Incompleto' collection has a beautiful Japanese aesthetic with aproned culottes and a simple white and indigo palette. Lucia Chain is an italo-argentinian fashion brand based in Piemonte, Italy. Committed to the environment, since 2017, their plant based designs are made by hand in their little studio with raw local fabrics and organic dyes, and zero waste patterns, a-gender fits and slow production make their biodegradable clothing stand the test of time.

Paddy Killer


'Fits Like a Glove' by Paddy Killer. Paddy has arthritis everywhere - gloves do not fit her stiff and deformed hands, so she has drafted this pattern for imagined gloves, enabling someone to make some pairs for her.


I remember visiting Surgeons Hall for the first time, in Edinburgh, just as my body began to show the first contortions of Arthritis, and being amazed at how bones swell, and bend and twist with this disease, not something you really think about until you are dealing with it and the lack of conformity in feet and hands that make shoes and gloves an impossibility. So of course I love this project by Paddy Killer.
