The current June/July Issue features an interview with the multi-talented Amelia Arsenic, best known as a member of Angelspit and for her blog DestroyX.com.  She has just released her new line of hand screened shirts and prints named Crime and Punishment for her A for Arsenic line.  “Inspired by vintage fetish magazines, the drama of the silent screen, and a dash of murder. The imagery combines film noir inspired bondage portraiture with monochromatic graphic interventions.”  This tank is perfect for the summer heat but will transition nicely for fall when paired with a blazer or long cardigan.  Act fast, each design from this line has a limited run of 50.

Marjolein Turin is a Netherlands based designer and the seamstress behind her brand, Somnia Romantica. The Frances Black Lace Victorian Blouse is a handmade garment based on a 1867  Victorian pattern, which Marjolein used as a base for this beautiful and romantic garment. The delicate bows that decorate the bust line are my favorite detail, paired with the cascading rows of ruffles. I’m a romantic at heart and this blouse is tugging at all the right heart-strings.
