"Kirkos Metalon"

Kirkos Metalon, the F/W 2012 collection by Founder Member Blasphemina’s Closet, is inspired by old circuses and metal music (the song “Doukoku to Sarinu” from Dir En Grey’s Uroboros album specifically).

The circus print items have an illustration specially designed for this collection by Barb Guttman and are limited. Pre-orders for these items are available through May 25th. Coming soon is a matching t-shirt of the bearded lady! Several items are limited quantity so don’t wait to buy yours!

Models for Seraphim Feathers at SGMS 2010

I’m extremely happy to announce the newest Asylum Member: Seraphim Feathers! The artist behind Seraphim Feathers is popularly known as Miss Ava, and she has been sewing, drawing and producing other beautiful works since she was a young child.

 

Miss Ava has been well-known, particularly locally, for her frequent participation in the Gothic Lolita community but has recently begun to branch out into other fashion genres. You can see a selection of her current work (as well as request custom pieces) from her Etsy Store or follow her on Facebook!

 

I’m excited to be working with Miss Ava more closely and can’t wait to see future work from this talented designer! As she says;

“Live Beautifully.”
