Our Girl Kelly

Kelly!

A few weeks back we staged a little photo shoot for our friend, fashion designer Alisha Trimble. (Those photos coming soon...) On hand as models were more friends including Miss Kelly Tunstall. Ben snapped this pic on a lark. It's so cute! Kelly really does look like one of her painted ladies. (See below)

Charmed by Kelly Tunstall

At Sea by Kelly Tunstall

Sweetest Thing by Kelly Tunstall

Under Lock and Key by Kelly Tunstall

These paintings are all from a show still up at the Metier boutique in San Francisco's Union Square where one can also find finery from 3.1 Phillip Lim, See by Chloe, and Mayle - to name a few. Kelly's pieces are priced for every budget.

Ipod Shuffle Bonfire Jackets by Kelly Tunstall

The Bonfire Snowboarding Company asked Kelly Tunstall to create textile designs for these jackets. Bonfire chose this print of arrows, kissing birds and bird houses. Kelly says she used the song, "Neighborhood" by Arcade Fire as her inspiration. It works out as kind of 80's, kind of graffiti, super cool.

Kelly gave me a sample last winter, which I wore to the Sundance festival in Park City. That jacket got lots of action and plenty of compliments. It is stylee and technical with all kinds of bells and whistles including "ear toaster panels", water proofing and an interior pocket for an ipod shuffle. See the white dots in 2 of the photos pictured above? Those are controls for the shuffle.
