If clothing had an emotional persona, What Katy Did would be something of a nostalgic princess, floating the gap between Alice in Wonderland and The Corpse Bride.
Merging childhood dreams with darker fantasy, accessories Designer Katy Bottomley has spent the past few years building a collection around found objects removed from their original context. Utilising pieces picked up everywhere from industrial lighting firms to toy manufacturers, Katy’s heart brooches are hardened, her skeleton pins celebrate life, and her asymmetrical dove earrings refuse to fly a straight path.
Each doubled-edged piece is designed to be brandished by boys and girls alike, so why not screw with your lover’s head and win them a ‘rackoff’ love brooch here.
