inspiration
furniture (especially chairs from the 50s and 60s), uniforms, repeating patterns, menswear, Oscar Niemeyer, traditional Japanese architecture, the Rimpa School and Ogata Korin's 8-Point Bridge, Matisse, bromeliads, succulents and other waxy flora

particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic, low-resolution images, the photo copier, off-registration prints, Max Ernst's Lunar Asparagus, NYC fire call boxes that look like Kannon, Fauvist color sense, the Noguchi Museum, pretty much all of Abstract Expressionism

magazines of current interest
Domino, Elle Decor (British), ARTnews, Art in America, Wallpaper

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation

second favorite
the stiletto

current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness of their styles.

preppy red bamboo belts for you and yours



At long last, I've listed my Bamboo Belts on Ebay. They're cute and preppy and make good gifts ($11.40 a piece). The red twill tape is 1.5" wide and the bamboo rings are real bamboo. I have all sizes XS S M L. 

Check out other bamboo items on my Ebay shop.

The Satin Karate Belts are back online! I need to break these out into a few separate listings. Else, how do you buy two or three? Etsy has a few funny quirks. But I still love it.

two options


When you go to elaineperlov.com these days, you will see two clickable options. My Ebay Store which has lots of fashion finds (by-products of shopping too much) and my Etsy Store (at last!), which features my designs. On Etsy right now, there are lots of deals and steals from the archives, and new treasures added weekly, so keep checking back. Spread the word!

geisha hairstyle denim pocket bag

From our archives! Only a few left in dark denim. This Geisha Hairstyle Denim Pocket Bag (available on Etsy) is one of our signature pieces. The bag can be worn around your waist, as a shoulder bag or across the body. The straps are adjustable. Super-cool statement piece. People will ask you one or more of these questions. "What is that?" "Is it sushi?" "Is it a shrimp?" And you can say, "No! It's a geisha hairstyle!" And they will be your friend.

Ah, the good ole Boston days. Even my label says Boston. I remember this dude named Gary who rode a skateboard and a single speed bike silk screened them for me.
