tickled by the plethora of charming "homemade" details on the louis vuitton fall 09 runway, notably the wrecked taffeta bunny ears and mock paper-chain collars, reminiscent of a kindergarten christmas tree, i'm calculating my next diy initiative.
i'm thinking of taking any old cotton or cashmere t-shirt to my tailor to have button holes inserted sporadically across the collar seam, so i can loop vintage scarves or ribbon reams through them like so:
the effect looks so adorably french, seems both frivolous and functional, and it will be fun to change the insert with every wear!
