One of the designers we featured on our Guest Curators list for Etsy was Attila Design. I am always intrigued by the things she makes since they seem so completely random. It's almost like watching a stream of creative consciousness.
The item that I included in the list was her single shouldered leather vest because it reminded me of a very loose variation of one of the Mother of London designs I featured a while ago. I confess that the somewhat dodgy photoshop job used to present the garment isn't showing it to it's full potential, but on the dress form you get a better idea of how lovely it actually is.
Her Victorian style ruffle front leather jacket is gorgeous too.
This weirdly distressed dress has amazing potential. I don't know exactly what I'd do with it, but I suspect I could just go for a full blown Mad Max/Escape From New York leather fest and add my thigh high boots as one option. I'd replace the belt though. Possibly for some kind of sub machine gun/taser/thing to defeat the army of corporate drones who live Above Ground.
She even sells a bed! A bed which I know Queen Marie would love to sleep in.
And she could even have the knitted stag hanging on her wall to complete the look. No hunting required.

That bedroom is unreal! Love the pink & white dress too...

I've been in love with that vest for AGES ... though I have no idea how I'd wear it, given my generally conservative tastes!

That bed is so beautiful!!!
The stag is hilarious too.. Though I don't think I could resist the urge to stick googly eyes on it.

Incredible.
I want a deer head for my new apartment, I considered the cardboard setup from UO. Who knows...

Lots of good deer heads on Etsy...and yes, the bed is great - so are victorian ruffles.

I've seen her stuff before and was blown away...so nearly bought something a wee while back but was skint. Totally forgot about her though- thanks for the timely reminder!
