Links of London: 'All Things Woven'

I am rarely seen without my Links Sweetie Charm Bracelet, however, their latest collection caught my eye with the tag line; 'All Things Woven'. Their new collection of Friendship Bracelets have moved forward from the classic style with some exciting new pieces:

My favourite from the new collection: 'Colour Mix', handwoven colour mix yarns.

Mini Fuchsia 'Skull'

'Double Wrap' Black and Gold

'Effervescence' Purple and Lilac

'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations'

An exhibition exploring how the two Italian designers from different eras share similar themes within their work. There will be seven different galleries consisting of images, videos and garments each presenting a different a theme: "Waist Up/Waist Down", "Ugly Chic", "Hard Chic", "Naif Chic", "The Classical Body", "The Exotic Body" and "The Surreal Body".
