Eley Kishimoto: Werk No 17

Here is one book I have been eyeing to get my hands on for the last few weeks. 

Brainchild of the talented duo Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto of the UK fashion/design company Eley Kishimoto.Eley Kishimoto: Werk No 17 has gained nothing but good review since its released few months back.

Taken from Creative Review, this part here will definitely make me want to succumb to my temptation even more now.

"Each edition of the new issue uses archive Eley Kishimoto materials in a slightly different way, so that no two are exactly the same. 

A bundle of four fabrics on both the front and back of the book act as its cover, with the back four folding over the spine and secured to the front with staples and dress making pins, mimicking, say Work, "a textile work-in progress".

It's a lovely piece of work that showcases Eley Kishimoto's textile designs in a very hands-on way. Threads drop out, and the covers fray as you flick through the book, but that simply adds to the charm."
