If there's one thing I love about living in New York, its being able to have an open, friendly, and supportive dialog with my peers in the strange world of fashion design. If you haven't heard of Eleven Objects, then you might be living under a rock or don't use the internet because they have been slaying the blogworld with their infamous detachable collars since their FW11 collection hit. Like harnesses, collars are one of those niche accessories that you don't really realize you have been craving until you put one on your body - and then suddenly you don't know how you lived without it! I tend to enjoy the strict look of blouses buttoned up all the way up to the neck, so I love being able to achieve this effect with the simple addition of a collar over my pre-existing wardrobe.
The designers Linh Thi Do and Christine Rhee have taken this concept further by expanding to a small ready to wear collection, featuring a collars that are attached to sleeves (these are divine), peplum belts and vests, bralettes & matching dresses.
Don't feel like committing to a fully furry jacket? Zip yourself into the sleeves instead!
The Eleven Objects girls were so kind to play matchmaker with me and a patent leather collar. Naturally I am attracted to all things black & shiny - it was true love at first sight.
I guess "approachable" wasn't entirely the look I was going for.

If I were the type of person who said OMG, I would be howling OMG OMG OMG - because I'm in love with this. I'd heard of the brand, but now I'm astounded. In love. Mesmerised. Okay, I'll stop now.

Hahaha, yeah, I would be kind of intimidated if I saw you in the street, but hey! that's a VERY good thing. I've always wanted to look intimidating... so people are less likely to mess with me. Their collars stunning, I've seen them before. If only I could afford one.
This colar is so cool!!! I want one of those! Love your style. ♥
