I came across GORGEOUS childrenswear label, Oopsidaisi, on facebook and i cannot get enough of the collection! Everything from the cute headbands to retro playsuits embodies their design aesthetic. The label originated in Sydney in 1994 and ever since has been creating one off handmade items, never to order as it 'interfers with their creativity' and ensures each item is different from the next. The playsuits, although for children, are a good example of simple construction really allowing the print to be the statement which is what i want my collection to be all about. Following a tutorial with Anne and Tony it was suggested that i could make a couple of garments and a couple bags which i wasn't too enthusiastic about before as i couldn't get the idea of tote bags out of my head and everyone seems to be customising those at the moment but seeing the bag above with the textile flower element has really opened my mind to the possibilities. These too could be reversible in keeping with the 'beach to BBQ' concept and USP.
