versatile clothing
Etsy seller Larimeloom, lucia squillari is a Italian maker who weaves, sews, spins, knits, crochets and more – with her mother and sister helping out too. Her designs are fantastic – with each piece being versatile in some way. The pants have an adjustable waist, the tops can be worn in several ways – all very cool. A hat becomes a neck warmer and a pleated poncho which can also be worn as a skirt or top.
She says “my family has always lived the “do-it-yourself-and-if-you-can’t, fix-it” philosophy and I guess it’s just stuck in my DNA. both of my grandmothers are tailors and my mom is very good at sewing.” And of her designs she says its an “organic process, I rarely use patterns, and have a soft spot for multipurpose designs. so often a skirt can be a top, a top can be a hat, a scarf can be a shrug.”
