Feral Childe Husky Belt

We gave our friend J.L. a custom-made Husky Belt for Christmas. It features a lavender sparkle hand-cast resin husky set in rainbow fur on a buttery-soft teal green leather belt with sexy ruching and a secret inside pocket. Grrr, Grrrl!

Outtakes from Feral Childe Photoshoot Spring 2010 'The Hills Are Alive'

Born in the Zoo. Makeup Artist Demeris gives Veronica a face. All good things start with the Blobject Slip.

What dress is this? We love it! Did it never make production?

The Adrienne Dress. Love the 'epaulets', shapely waist and floppy 'bustles'. A super-flattering dress to just throw on and look great. Casual enough with flats or sneaks for errands around town, chic with heels for work or out.

(Note from March 2011: The Adrienne Dress is on sale for only $88 right now-BUY IT HERE!)

The must-have Meadow Suit in tie-dye silk twill.

A Trip Down Memory Lane: Archival Feral Childe

Today, just for the fun of it, we thought we'd post some pics of vintage Feral Childe pieces and moments.

We've always loved this ravishing picture of a model wearing an early Feral Childe one-of-a-kind called ?

May we request a reissue of this amazing belt, please? Does it come with the red 'fox tail'? And is that a dingo we see in the center of the buckle? What about those dangling chains? Want! 

Feral Childe clothes have become incredibly refined over time without losing their irreverent edge, but we do sometimes miss their even wilder days.This belt could be worn over some of the sleeker new silhouettes for just a bit of badass.

A model wearing the Kidney Dress from Feral Childe Fall/Winter 2006 Collection 'Homunculi', another bygone style we wish we'd snapped up when we'd had the chance.  See the red stitching where the kidney would be removed, like the sutures after an operation? But oh so chic and just gently winking, on smooth lavender boiled wool.

We love the geek chic of this downtown girl trying on the ? Dress from Feral Childe Spring/Summer 2008 Collection '4D 4Ever' during the fashion show and boutique at Utowa in NYC, Winter 2007.

Accessory-Making at Feral Childe

Alice Wu and Moriah Carlson gave us a peek inside their accessory-making laboratory at Feral Childe.

This is how each of the hand-cast resin buttons and brooches are made for every collection, slowly and lovingly. Here is a heart shape with a miniature narrative of tokens sealed in 'amber'.

Transfers from the Snowflake stencils submitted by Feral Childe fans. The winning snowflakes got made into prints for Feral Childe Fall 2009 Collection 'School Play'.

 Here is where the Husky Belts are born!

A little glitter, used sparingly, never hurt. 

Newly cast log rounds for brooches and belts await their individual narratives in miniature. We want one in every color!

Happy Camper: Alice Wu at the SFMoMA

Alice Wu wearing the Snakeskin Lamé Leggings from Feral Childe Spring/Summer 2009 Collection 'Yosemite' and the Stripey Skirt from Feral Childe Fall/Winter Collection 2008 'Daily Planner'. We always regret not buying certain pieces while they were available, and the Stripey Skirt is one of them. We're beginning to think that the best way to insure against further regrets is to simply buy up each Feral Childe collection in toto.

Feral Childe in Las Vegas

Moriah Carlson and Alice Wu at the Pool Tradeshow in Las Vegas. Moriah wears the Teepee Turtleneck and the Meadow Dress from Feral Childe Fall/Winter 2009 Collection 'School Play' and the Snakeskin Lamé Leggings from Feral Childe Spring/Summer Collection 'Yosemite'. Alice wears the Picnic Blazer and Shorts from Feral Childe Spring/Summer 2009 Collection 'Yosemite' and the Lederhosen Leggings from Feral Childe Spring/Summer 2010 Collection 'The Hills are Alive'. She's also wearing a puffy bunny pin from one of the collections, we don't know which. These ladies can style an outfit!

 (By the way, a note from March 2011, the Teepee Turtleneck is on sale now for a sick $60. It's the ultimate antidote for the boring old turtleneck and looks great layered, bringing a fresh kick to any outfit. Plus,it's super-soft on the skin and a dream to wear. Don't miss out--BUY IT HERE!)
