Wabi Sabi

Wabi Sabi is my new favorite thing. . . or rather, a new word I learned to describe an old favorite. . . captivating decay. . .

Thank you to the person commenting on my etsy Treasury who told me about it.

You must read the fashion history and sociology book called Fashion at the Edge (fashion at the edge of death, life, destruction...). It goes along with this idea of beautiful decay and death, that which captures the future in the past, and creates a new reality- that is most fashionable because it is just for a moment and always near death.
