i waaannnnt this dress and those pillows! they were designed by vicki murdoch for her final show at the chelsea school of art. it seems as if she makes custom silk scarves now, but her cat-themed caravan was featured in the book digital textile design. hey vicki, hook a fellow cat-loving textile designer up!

“have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. do not now look for the answers. they cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. it is a question of experiencing everything. at present you need to live the question. perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.” rainer maria rilke
