The belt in the top image has been designed to be free of metal fastenings with a toothed mechanism, so that you can wear it through a metal detector. The wallet pictured has been made from perch skin skillfully tanned. The other fantastic thing about Sruli's Recht's exclusive accessories and clothes is that they are all made in Iceland.

Nathalie Fordeyn

These are a few examples from Nathalie Fordeyn's MA collection called 'A Drummer In A Tree' "I wanted this collection to be strange, both to me and to the audience" Nathalie Fordeyn. Using dramatic headpieces, chunky knits and sheer fabrics. Nathalie still feels she can push the boundaries further, I can't wait to see her future designs.

Accessories as experiments and samplers

Accessories are a good medium for experimenting with fashion ideas in a small scale by making jewelry, collars, cuffs, bags etc. Fun to lose your inhibitions and try out new textile techniques and also produce jewelry items or embellishments.
