Anouchka Potdevin

Posted by on
French artisan designer Anouchka Potdevin, has worked as both a photographer and metal worker and has, for the last 6 years concentrated on re-making a variety of vintage furniture, porcelain, chairs, stools & jewellery.

Anouchka works across a broad spectrum of design fields; from interiors to product design; fashion to lighting design for a range of clients, but it was the more personal work on her blog that instantly caught my eye. Inspired by various iconic singers & a Vuitton catwalk model whom all have fabulous hair, she has drawn some simple stylised portraits on canvas and used black plastic buttons to portray their hair - and it's all a 'fabulousness' overload! I think they look incredible!

    cool! I use vintage buttons in my designs, too.

    I think buttons look great in hair/as hair. It is so unexpected, since they are functional, if decorative, on clothing!
