Who would have said that the Barbès checks popularised by Parisian Tati stores on its shopping bags - you know those huge bags where anything fits but glamour -would inspire fashion designers. And what to say about those brown and beige checks, the typical Vichy print for bundle handkerchieves... You know,baby,your great-grandmother used one of these to take the clothes to the laundry. How could have we guessed that they would become Prada´s fabrics one day? Or those simple blue and white checks, a common cleaning cloth print that now looks so great turned into a suit. Yes,dear friends, it´s time to fill our wardrobes with rags.

GLAMOUR IN RAGS

Meter tanto la pata
Lo que odias hoy lo amarás mañana y viceversa. ¡A veces, sólo a veces! Queridas y queridos; el paso de los años está causando más estragos en mi armario que en mi cara porque de mi guardarropa ya cuelgan más prendas de pata de gallo que patas de gallo surcan mi divino rostro. Chaquetas,faldas,pantalones,vestidos,...Sólo me queda incluirla también en los cajones de lencería para que mi vestidor tenga más patas de pollo que un estuche de caldo Gallina Escaldada.
What you hate today, you will love it tomorrow.Well, sometimes! I challenge you to find Sadie hidden in a landscape* of dog tooth fabric, a print that she once said she loathed.
*The picture was taken inside Sadie´s wardrobe

Stripping Pierrot´s sinister side with a diamond
Sitting on an Emmanuelle-like chair made of skulls instead of wicker, Sadie shows Pierrot´s most sinister side while a black tear runs down her cheek. "Life is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel"- Horace Walpole
Do skulls laugh or cry?
Sentada en una silla Emmanuelle hecha de calaveras en vez de mimbre, Sadie muestra el lado más siniestro de Pierrot mientras una lágrima negra se desliza por su mejilla. "La vida es una comedia para quienes piensan y una tragedia para quienes sienten"-Horace Walpole
¿Las calaveras rien o lloran?
Balmain resort / pre-Spring 2013 collection. Stripes and diamonds that could dress La Commedia dell´Arte characters or at least that´s what my granny would think of them.
Balmain colección crucero 2013. Rayas y diamantes que podrían vestir a los personajes de La Commedia dell´Arte o al menos eso es lo que pensaría mi abuelita.
Pierrot & Harlekin costumes - Disfraces de Pierrot & Arlequín
"L´Amour de Pierrot" French Postcard, Author Unknown 1905 / Postal francesa de 1905 de autor desconocido.
¡Qué tétricos estamos! ¡Se nota que ya llega Halloween!
