Littledo is Love

Today is an apt day to be posting about I Don't Like Mondays new gallery adventure because a) it's not a Monday and b) better yet, it's a Sunday! I Don't Like Mondays Gallery project is an ongoing venture which sees unique collaborations between artists and stores to create wearable one-off pieces - or at least, push the boundaries of wearability to the upper limit. The last artist, Shin Murayama, has created vicious looking masks out of trainers, sheepskin, and can ring pulls forming a decidedly scary teeth-ridden beard.



The latest IDLM Gallery collaborator is former Nylon intern and singer for the folk-rocky Weepaw, Chase Cohl. Her designs are elaborate, handmade headpieces and jewelry under the label Littledoe is Love. Some may feel they need another headband like they need a hole in their head, but there's something very peace, love, and happiness about these pieces. No prizes for guessing the one-offs, specially when they feature a real antique iron crown, beautiful blue/yellow macaque feathers, taxidermy butterflies, 19th century gold tapestry, and a fanned out bird wing (as the last one). The limited pieces are simpler but not less beautiful with the delicate chains and freshwater pearls. I'm hesitating to ask IDLM how much these pieces are but seeing as 50% of the sales goes to Designers Against Aids, then someone with very deep philanthropic pockets will step up and have their heads crowned in Littledoe is Love glory...
