One of my gifts for my birthday this year was a super-cool necklace made from slightly shimmering black fabric and in falling in six loops around my neck. It's a Country Road little number and looks amazing - but with the added advantage of actually being quite toasty as it is made from knitted material. As a result I have nicknamed it the "sclace", you know, a scarf and a necklace.
When I showed it off in the editorial office of O Mag, however, it appears that I am not quite the trendsetter that I thought I was. Apparently a couple of Portugese graphic designer ladies have already seen it's potential, derived from old Portugese traditions, particularly as a recylcling option for jersey knits. That is one of their designs above.
No matter. My gifter is Portugese too, so I think that there may be a link there...
Oh, and did I mention how awesome it looks? Go and get your sclace now!
