inspired by... otomi print.

so this magical textile created by the otomi people of mexico has made its way alllll over the design blogosphere in recent years

headboards! bedspreads! lampshades!

but, despite seeing it all over the place, i haven't tired of it yet.

... which is why i was especially excited to see the pattern emerge in a wearable form à la this incredible dress from mara hoffman. she's used the print in a number of different looks, too. but i think this bustier dress takes la torta.

who doesn't like a little mexicana?

also shown:
+ scarf, theodora & callum
+ earrings and necklace, asos
+ sunglasses, irregular choice
+ bag, jadetribe

  2. The dress is amazing. If I owned it, I'd have to hang it on the wall as artwork.
