Fanny B and Backyard Bill

I am waiting for the day that H & M arrives on our shores (if ever)... a long wait I imagine! Once it hits oz, Perthites will have to wait another decade for it to move west no doubt. 

An artist that I’ve been following since seeing a few entries on the web is Fanny Bostrom (now Fanny Gentle).  Her quirky art is loud and cheeky - really inspiring. Fashion and painting intertwine and the results are bright and joyous. She has also just recently produced a line of tees for H&M and a line of jewellery for Pencey.

Her husband, Bill, has a great web site called "Backyard Bill" - it's a little like "The Sartorialist" meets "The Selby". Fanny and Bill hit the headlines after they tied the knot at New York City Hall - Fanny dressed in overalls with flowers in her hair.


Here is a recent article: The Huffington Post


So for now I just have to suffice with enjoying a visual of the tee prints, rather than the real thing. I hope you do too.
