Made from the silk of a million spiders. In these days of fast and disposable fashion, the idea of taking eight years to manufacture two unwearable garments seems outlandish. Yet a textile designer and entrepreneur have woven two extraordinary pieces of clothing from Madagascan spider silk.
In the past year I have developed an obsession with painting my nails. My favourite is a pale lavender colour, but I have tried neons, dark jewel tones, and classy neutrals. I’ve attempted all sorts of patterns—symmetrical lines, patriotic flags, colour gradations. My favourites are leopard print and roses. I’ve experimented with stickers (the cheaper Sally Hansen ones are superior to the more expensive Sephora ones, FYI). I’ve tried different top-coats to achieve matte or extra shiny finishes. I’ve purchased specialty brushes and sponges for the more advanced designs. And I have no idea why.
