Michele Varian Dinnerware

We're smitten with Angela Rossi's latest dinnerware creations for Michele Varian.  She is a self-taught, outsider artist that works with recycled, abused, broken and forgotten items creating altered antique plates, raw assemblage sculptures and mixed media portraits.

Collaged, altered, and painted, these anthropomorphic or circus portraits are applied to beautiful and ornate vintage plates. Angela spends her time scouring flea markets and online to continually have new plates to work with. Because the plates are vintage, each series is limited edition.

Street Cred

Will Crooks, from WAC AVE Street Photography, took some great shots on his visit to Asheville.  Here is his sweet post with a photo of very own Kip Veno hanging outside the shop. Visit his blog for more savvy styles.

This is by far one of my favorite looks I have come across since starting WAC AVE. The color combination and fit are fantastic. Anyone can simply follow trends but it takes an individual with incredible creativity and knowledge of fashion to put together a look that just exudes originality. This fellow also happens to operate the most interesting boutique I came across while wondering through downtown Asheville. Hip Replacements is a vintage inspired boutique that offered an original array of merchandise.
