Reem Alasadi managed to blow our collective minds with her first two collections, using salvaged materials to construct them. A Beautiful Agony and Charlie Says were put together with shredded and tea-stained antique fabrics and textiles, sheepskins, rabbit fur, feathers, beads, sequins and doll heads were combined to manifest a post-apocalyptic Lolita dream. Her bustle-style skirts, waist coasts, frocks and corsets have left me wanting more.
Reem’s newest designs hit the runways of Tokyo’s fashion week a few months back with, showcasing her AW09’s “Bubble and Squeak” line, fused with glam-rock, 80’s punk, and vintage glamour. The collection bit more fushia than her usual monochrome and muted shades, but we’ll find a happy medium here with some plum.

Great designer, too bad there are not many places where her garments are sold.
Genius. Thanks so much for posting this! It made this ridiculously hot day filled with East End fashion idiots almost bearable. 🙂
I love you Haute Macabre. I do.
I want one of those hats from the tokyo show, they’re completely awsome. I love the last yellow dress on the list for that one too. It’d be better in black tho, of course.
personal favorite.
