sandra backlund: structure these.

upon looking at her collection, i immediately imagined i lived in a world where i could strut down the street, hand in hand with a bloke named sid, in her clothes smoking a fag.

the structured knit pieces she creates speak volumes and lord knows i want some of her fashion lovin!!!
the fascinating part is that everything is COMPLETELY HANDMADE!!!
she's ill.
