Fasteners Hit the Runway

A fella used fasteners to fasten his fashion line!

And we're mentioning it since March is Women's History Month and the clothes were made for women, and of course because fasteners are the fancy feature.

Christopher Kane actually used fasteners to fasten his women's fashion line in 2013. He even customized his wing nuts - wait till you see them.

Surprisingly, it's all downright pretty.

Looks like normal pretty clothes, right?

Look closer - those are fasteners holding it together at the shoulders.

That dress really is beautiful.

This dress is stunning too.

I can't believe I like this!!!!!!

These are harder to see but the fasteners here are made of a clear acrylic.

HE TURNED WING NUTS INTO BOWS!

I wish I thought of that.

See the whole line at Vogue.

Also we tried to find something to buy, just to see how much things cost, and we couldn't find the stuff anywhere. I guess it was popular.

We did find this dress on EBAY new for $399.

If you click over to Ebay you can use the ZOOM feature to see the fasteners up close.

As a woman, who sells fasteners, I approve.

Screwy Shoes

Gifts for Women!

YES! Those heels are nuts (and bolts!)

Mui Mui's Fall 2014 line of shoes are called The Nut & Bolt Shoes.

The photos are all from a fabulous & opinionated website called Tom and Lorenzo.com

They go over all the details of the shoes and more.

I'm not sure if they are in the stores yet but I imagine they are pricey...her shoes usually are.

I love nuts and bolts but I don't love high heels so this is one gift I don't actually want. But I bet my sisters would wear them.

Ok, this pair I'd wear.

Rainboots!!!! Those better be stainless steel.

Incredible In India

And in India, introducing

Fashion Designer Amamd Bhushan

"An armour dress in grey which was completely constructed of scrape nuts, bolts and screws, received a thunderous round of applause from the audience who were awestruck by Anand’s creativity."

Now you know I love fasteners but would I have been awestruck by this dress?

YOU BETCHA!

But I'm obsessed with this stuff. What I want to know is: who are the other people applauding? Am I to believe everyone in India is like me - fanatical for fasteners?!

GO INDIA!

And would I wear that dress? 

NO WAY SANJAY.

Nope.

The photo and the information came from a 2012 post from an Indian Fashion Blog called Purushu Arie so I googled Amamd to see what he has designed since 2012. It seems he is now working with LEGOS.

Found the photo from VOGUE INDIA.

(That's right, the screw dress designer is a bigwig.)
