Frederique Morrel re-enchants the world



As a link to my previous post of the tapestry jumper, Frederique Morrel uses tapestry in conceptual art pieces and furniture. She believes art should once again be everywhere and enrich our lives. I believe her success lies in how contemporary these pieces look, a collaboration of contrasts bringing exciting outcomes. 

I loved reading their philosophy 'ARTIFACTS'.

Memories - influence on the clothes we buy?

Remembering a time, place, person...
I love this tapestry from a jumper because it reminds me of places I’ve been to and shared great times.
Do we buy clothes/things to remember something by or do we buy to wear during the good times. 

If we buy clothes to live memories in shouldn’t we want these memories to last?
