Juxtaposition, and living in a nunnery in the Himalayas!
Fleur Wood is the creative force behind her self-named label. At twenty-three she took two years out and lived in a nunnery in the Indian Himalayas designing ranges for a culture-preservation project of the Tibetan exile government. Upon returning to Sydney she launched her own label.
She uses great fabrics utilising both classic and modern designs. Beautiful and delicate with a contemporary bohemian edge, the ever evolving style epitomises individuality and self expression.
Fleur roams the world in search of the best textiles and craftsmen to create her designs, She continues to travel extensively throughout India and Europe, meeting up with hand embroiders in Delhi, drawing inspiration from flea markets in Paris and the heartbeat of New York.
The range brings together cultural divides and juxtaposition of styles: ethnic prints mix in with hand-stitched French embroidery. "I enjoy the juxtaposition of styles and mixing the unexpected. Whether I am putting something ethnic on a vintage fabric, or using vintage styles in contemporary colours, the result is modern, individual and timeless. I love creating these pieces.

Hipster is a slang term that first appeared in the 1940s, and was revived in the 1990s and 2000s often to describe types of young, recently-settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, indie rock, independent film and magazines.
"Hipster" has been used in sometimes contradictory ways, making it difficult to precisely define "hipster culture" because it is a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior[s].
Tavi Gevinson...she's even got her own Wikipedia page...
Style Rookie -Blogger, Tavi shares her own thoughts, inspirations, and fashion sense. Her readership grew and grew and now have gotten a whole world following her and is now consider a fashion trend setter...the twist?
She only 13 years old!!
Her success has allowed her to travel to Paris & NYC fashion week, watched numerous runway shows, gotten to meet big name designer and has even inspired them to create clothes based on her style......pretty much she's making the the whole fashion industry go crazy over her.
There's really no one style that can sum up what she's all about. She's sort of like an adorable French kid wearing classy grandma's clothes...or a cute little spunky Japanese kid from Harajuku with an American twist...or an edgy androgynous modern avant-garde adult inside a 13 year old body...or a nerdy hipster who wears 80's/early 90's vintage clothes...She's all of the above!
She's a fashion compacter!
In any case....She's got the talent..and is using it well.

Not to sure where she would be going in that, but I like it! I think its made from felt or heavy wool.

"One of the many things that fashion and style has the ability to do is unite people of similar tastes."
