Backpocket by Miss Black Birdy

In 2006, Miss Blackbirdy (Merel Boers) graduated cum laude from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (Amsterdam) with her collection "A Journey to Miss Blackbirdy's World", an escape from reality, as she calls it, and went on to win the BLVD Fashion Prize 2006 with this fragile graphical collection. Drawing black and white flowers and making up girlie characters on paper or fabric, her refined fashion illustrations are mirrored in her delicate garments made of black yarn.
