  vanillavaudeville's recommendation

  A clothing line with flirty fun and vintage romance in mind.... Pantaloonies is a clothing line by actress Helena Bonham Carter and swimwear designer Samantha Sage. One of the products previously offered by their london-based company is a customized pair of jeans vaguely reminiscent of clothing worn in the mid-1800s. The process of ordering a pair of these coveted jeans is a difficult one at best and more likely an impossible endeavor. But I have added this to my list anyway, mostly as a tribute to Helena, who's style i find remarkable and inspiring. from a London news article: "The Pantaloonies’ other venture is equally and endearingly odd ball: a bespoke jeans refurbishing service designed to create “a kind of scrapbook on the bum” through addition of trims, emblems and “frillage”. Sage guides me through the questionnaire devised to steer customers’ style choices. Searching questions such as: “Do you fancy a bum frill?” are accompanied by inquiries as to the owner’s lucky number or favourite song to create an even more customised product.... The process will take six weeks and a hefty proportion of the £160 fee will be donated to Unicef."
